Beautiful pics, Ted – Long legs mean fewer steps, so keep walking with the sun behind you. Looks like great camaraderie along the way.
I like the bicycle idea! Is there a 500 mi bike trail next to weary walkers?
Bicycles pass us everyday, mostly on the same trail. It’s a thing.
Wow!! Thanks for sharing your adventure. Love the awesome photos! Love you!
