the walk

This page will be updated constantly with information regarding my walk across America, which will begin on March 1, 2011.

What I’m doing – I’m walking from Cape Henlopen State Park in Delaware to Limantour Beach in Point Reyes, California. It will end up being between 3,000 – 4,000 miles total (depending on the final route choice) and will likely take me 8-9 months to complete.

The path – I’ll be following the American Discovery Trail to the Nebraska/Colorado border, and then will probably just go with Google Maps walking directions from there.

Why? – For many reasons. I want to see what America is really all about and see the country in the slowly and in the most mindful way possible. I am also craving some adventure and want to test my ability to handle tough and uncertain situations.

How can I follow your progress? – I will have a blog that you can follow. Updates will be in text, photo and video format. I’ll let y’all know when that’s up and running.

If you have any questions or comments at all, let me know below! I’ll answer them and add them to this page. You can send me an email as well if you would like at thewaythatyouwander@gmail.com or say hello on Twitter.
