Mission Accomplished

Where do I begin?

It is very difficult to put into words the feeling of Accomplishment.

Whether it be small or large, It's still great in the eyes of it's achiever .

Last Saturday my family and I completed our 5,000 Mile Trek across America in Denver Colorado.

As most of you already know we started on March 24th 2014 in Delaware at Cape Henlopen State Park.... We walked until November 17th 2014 where the snow stopped us from climbing the Rocky Mountains west of Denver. We wintered over until April in Cozad , Nebraska. We then took a Amtrak Train from Omaha Nebraska to Richmond California. When we arrived in Richmond a good friend drove us to Point Reyes National Seashore on May 2nd where we began the last 2,000  miles of our journey. 

From Point Reyes we walked East through Nevada and Utah. There we faced harsh temperatures and sandstorms, lots of spiders and rattlesnakes. When we got to Colorado we slowed everything down and enjoyed the last month of our trip. We stayed with many more families, made many more lifetime friends and found some amazing new vacation spots! We were blessed enough to have beat the snow this year and the weather was lovely for hiking in the mountains among the fall aspen leaves! On October 17th after an amazing week of staying with our friends in Denver..... We finally did it!

We walked the last 4 miles up cherry creek bike trail downtown to Union Station where we met with a few friends and family from several states and a Denver Post reporter to celebrate our big accomplishment. The American Discovery Trail had one of the board of directors with an award for Completing the American Discovery Trail and for being the only family to ever hike it. I was also presented with one for being the youngest to hike the trail! We also became Ambassador for the American Discover Trail... This all being said, If you have a Goal or a Dream... Never give up on it! Never let anything get in your way. You can do anything you put your mind to, from Climbing Mount Everest to running a 5K. It's Possible! 

May God Bless You!
