DON'T FORGET TO SUPPORT THE HOME OF THE INNOCENTS

Just a reminder to everyone that I am walking to raise funds for the Home of the Innocents. As of July 7th, I have walked more than 1,300 miles in 70 days! Nothing would make me happier than to learn that donations and/or pledges are double or triple the number of miles I've covered.

Several of the children at the Home have been following my progress. Some of them have asked about the wildlife that I have seen. It makes me feel good to know that they are reading the blog and enjoying the photos.

I am grateful to have the strength and health to walk this land so freely when others cannot. Your support of the Home will help me to make this journey a real mission for children. Visit the web site at the Home http://www.homeoftheinnocents.org/ and make your pledge today. If you have already given and/or pledged - thank you! Greybeard

DAY 71 - HALF WAY THERE - TOTAL 1335.8

Monday, July 7th: Spent last night here at Chester. This morning I chowed down on a "maximum" breakfast of pancakes, scrambled eggs and all the fixings; picked up and enjoyed mail from my youngest grandchildren who live in northern Kentucky; then hiked out on my way "north" - making sure I was headed the right way - ha! I called Shirley from atop North Stover Mountain at mile 1342 - Coordinates: N40 deg.18.452', W121deg.13.849'.

Enjoy the photos - I thought they were very unusual and wanted to share them with you.

Keep hiking,

Greybeard
