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.

Edward Jones Dedication plaque. The Katy trail is celebrating its 20th year as a trail rather than a rail.
No one home. I did not go in as there might have been a bear family living inside.
A lot of the trail is rimmed with rock faced bluffs.
Lewis and Clark expedition followed the Missouri River in 1804.

Sharing the trail.
Miles marker 172, light fog this AM.
