Maryland on the ADT

Hello Again Everyone!
We are in Bowie,Maryland around 120+ miles into our trip:)
We have had a wonderful trip so far with seeing a lot of wildlife and meeting friendly people! We have seen a total of 7 Bald Eagles since starting in Delaware... that in itself has been uplifting and amazing! There are also a lot of Osprey and other birds we don't have in Alabama. We plan on Lord Willing being in D.C by Saturday. While in downtown Annapolis yesterday we met a lot of super friendly people! Everyone was interested in our walk and we really enjoyed talking with them. Everyday God just proves more and more that HE is in this walk!! We want to thank the Lee and Chris Weaber family for their AMAZING hospitality! They took us in for a total of 6 nights and treated us like family.. feeding us top of the line, delicious cooking and giving us warm comfy beds to sleep in! They "slack packed" us on those days and even spent Saturday and Sunday with us like family would. We enjoyed spending Sunday with their church family also. Thank you to Mrs. Chris Weaber for taking us across the Bay bridge on Wednesday evening! Their family was such a blessing to us! I look forward to writing more soon and I hope you enjoyed my update! 
Keep us in your prayers and Lord Bless!

First state down!

Hello again everyone! We are still hiking:) We made it into Maryland yesterday after hiking 19 miles where our "Trail Angel" Mrs. Chris Weaber picked us up. We stayed with The Weabers Thursday and Friday night. They have been very kind and hospitable to us... giving us warm cozy beds and excellent food! We are taking a Zero day today because of heavy rain and blisters. While walking yesterday we saw a GroundHog and 2 bald eagles. They were very beautiful. We are very thankful that God has blessed us with such friendly christian families so far to help us along the way!! We will Lord willing be crossing the Bay Bridge on Tuesday afternoon. We have to get a ride across the bridge because it is to dangerous to hike across. I hope to post more soon! Lord Bless and continue to keep us in your prayers!

Hiking in Delaware

Hello Everyone from the American Discovery Trail!
We started our hike across America on Monday and have hiked 18.5 miles so far... we have only been able to hike 1 day because of the weather, here in Milton, DE it has snowed around 5- 5 1/2" and we have to wait another day for it to melt. It is amazing the amount of nice people we have met so far! We were barely out of Cape Henlopen State Park ( the start of the ADT) when a nice lady stopped and asked if we needed any help! We were blessed by a nice couple who payed for our lunch at the China Garden the day we started. The Conner Family has also been a huge blessing to us. Mrs. Serinda Conner is the state of Delaware coordinator for the American Discovery Trail. She has taken us to a really nice Bagel shop called Surf Bagel and had us over for dinner last night:) Surf Bagel sponsored us with a dozen fresh bagels for the road.
We plan on hiking again tomorow if the weather permits. Please continue to keep us in your prayers! Lord Bless

I can do this!

Hello everyone! We have around 16 days until we leave our comfortable life here in Alabama for a more Cross bearing life of hiking across the United States!! We will be hiking from Cape Henlopen State Park , Delaware to Point Reyes National Seashore , Ca. for a total of around 5,000 miles :-) What an adventure! We are hoping to spread the love of our Saviour Jesus Christ to ALL that we meet! Please keep us in your prayers daily as we strive to serve Him through this. May God Bless you! 
Happy Hiking Katy Did

Spring is coming!!

Hello Everyone! The weather is so beautiful today I just can't believe it!:) We woke up this morning and decided to walk to the place where we work, it is around 4 1/2 miles there... Then after a while we decided to walk to Subway for lunch ;) It is 1 1/2 miles there from work... then of course we had to walk home another 2 1/2 miles ( cause we took a different route) We ended up a total of 10 miles all together:) It was very enjoyable! I can't believe that in one month we will Lord Willing be in Delaware for our first step on the American discovery Trail!! Yay:) Can't wait to put all those miles under my" pack belt" Haha! May God be with you and please keep us in your prayers as we finish our plans for this hike!! Enjoy the lovely weather and God's marvelous creation!

Snow Day 2014

                                                            Hello Everyone! 
                   It has been a while since I have posted anything...
We have been really busy planning for our big hike coming up soon!!
                      It is exciting getting everything in order:)
           Here are some pictures of our first snow day this year,
                                              January 28th 2014
We got around 4 inches total... It was fun for people like us with
4x4 's but not for other unfortunate people, lots were stranded and unable to get to their school children that were stuck at the school building overnight! It was nice to be able to share Christian love with people such as pulling them up hills and helping people get rides home and such:)
                   I hope you enjoy these pictures and stay warm!!

snow day!!

Frozen Waterfalls!

We decided the other day that we were going to 
get up early and hike to see the waterfalls frozen.
It was 8 degrees and very cold! It was well worth facing the 
cold to see these beautiful works of God's
creation:)

Frozen Cheaha Falls
Simply Beautiful!
Mama and I...
Do we look cold?
Frozen High Falls!
Icicles.....:)
BEAUTIFUL! Isn't God Marvelous?
Mama
A frozen KatyDid!

                 I hope you enjoyed these pictures. May God Bless and stay warm.
