I have *DUMDUMDUM* finally after I don't know and won't admit how many times of getting stuck in Wyoming for the winter (hmmm... you don't suppose there's a subconscious dealie going on here? ;) made it ALL THE WAY to Oregon City!
Yes! I have indeed walked, verified by my little yellow pedometer, from Independence, MO to Oregon City, OR! Visit www.americaonthemove.org to see the trail for yourself!
Cheers and confetti and all that.
Of course, it's not /quite/ so impressive as it might be... I mean, I /could/ have actually made an effort to walk more each day, instead of simply choosing the 4 weeks during which I would be walking the most and counting them... but I don't care! It counts!

Good job! I got really confused before I finished reading your post. I thought you had "really" gone to Oregon City and was scratching my noggin over that one since you were at one time thinking of coming here. Anyhoo, now that I know it is the America on the Move walk, I unnerstan'.
Congratulations on some fine walking. Sorry I never saw you to say "Hi" at Manhattan. Looking forward to moving (eventually), and being in your field this year. Wanda L.
L - Hello from Texas! Glad I found your site - through the Rosehills! Wow - that is some walking :) Way to go :)
Leilani,
You don't know us...at least you don't know us personally...but may know some of our family. My in-laws (some of them) live in HI. My sister-in-law, Ruthie Samuel, was visiting in WA recently. She was with Lyle and Jill McDonald at meeting at Sticklands where she met your parents! I've been perusing your blog since finding it from another friend's blog and thought it's about time that we introduce ourselves. I am married to Ruthie oldest brother, Andy. We live in Houston, Texas not far from Jeff and Marissa. We are originally from California where we knew Jeff's family and also the Sticklands. Sara was in our field just before we moved here. I enjoy your blog. If you'd like to see more about our family and our life our blog is parose.blogspot.com. Just wanted to say "hi".

One more thing, Leilani, we'd love to hear more about your family. We understand your parents were in Hawaii for a period of time in the late 60s. Don't know if Andy was still there or not...he might have already left home via the Navy. Look forward to hearing from you.
