To finish this trip by the end of next year, I calculated that I will have to take 273,500 steps per month for the next 20+ months. A little math will tell you that is less than 10,000 steps per day average, but a couple of things are getting in the way of keeping a good pace. First, I am getting older every year, and I do not think that all of this walking is as easy as it was when I started toward Miami back in 2001. Second, I have other things to do, especially bridge, and those things get in the way. Looking forward just a short time, I have three days of bridge coming up next weekend, and I am getting the house ready for sale, and moving will involve days when walking will not be convenient, and I do not have the energy to try to make up for all of those days when my steps will come up short.
Before last month, I went seven straight months without managing 273,000 steps, so even that is a lofty goal.
I am approaching a place called Doniphan, Nebraska, population 809. For today's pictures, I just looked up images of Nebraska, so I do not know if these places are near the American Discovery Trail or not.
We talked to our realtors on Tuesday and yesterday, and we are working toward putting the house on the market, maybe in May. There is much to do.
The famous Chimney Rock, a landmark for travelers on their way to the West in the 1800s. I do know that I will not pass near this place on my journey.
Jailhouse and Courthouse rocks. Not sure which is which.
