At age 72, I am planning to walk across American to bring awareness of how exercise etc. can help bring about a healthier heart and vascular system, lower blood pressure, etc., and to raise funds, as well, for the American Heart Association. I welcome you to follow me on my journey! My plan for 2010 is to walk from Lewes, DE to St. Louis, MO or further if possible. In 2005 I was leading a sedentary life and weighed 201 lbs. I started walking and then running and lost 36 lbs, significantly lowered my blood pressure, my bad cholesterol, and raised my good cholesterol equally. My journey will commence on or about April 30th. Help the A.H.A. by donating thru the web site: Michianaheartwalk.kintera.org/johnwalksamerica. If all goes well I hope to be in St. Louis sometime in September 2010.

10-10-10 Sunday

Katy Shelter, upstairs. Kind of lonely here when you have all 38 beds to yourself.
Jim's bar. Tebbetts, MO.
Inside Jim's.
This is Jim's bar and restaurant, where you might even get a meal and something to drink when closed. I did.
The key hangs on the pole to the right of the building. Very secure facility.
Inside the Katy Shelter House in Tebbetts, MO. I was the only guest the night of 9/27/10. 38 beds and a bike repair shop. $5.00 a night.
Woods.
Rocks.
This is Barb at the Peers General Store.
Katy Trail. Old train bridge on converted trail. Near Treloar, MO
