I Made It

Well I have made it. I can’t believe it. I am estimating that I walked over 2,700 miles and rode about 225 miles. I went through 7 pairs of shoes and raised $1,100 for the Santa Monica Widow and Orphans Fund.

I am taking the train to Sacramento on Thursday so I can get there in time for my nieces wedding.

I can’t wait to take some time and go over my posts and reflect on this journey. Several times I questioned what I was doing. However, inevitably someone would write or text me, “You got this 📷 “. That has to been one of my favorite sayings.

I am staying in a hotel on the beachfront of Virginia Beach. The weather is very overcast and rained a little bit today. I had a nice burger and a dark stout beer.

My walk today was beautiful. I was on a sidewalk a majority of the way. There was a wave of emotions. But overall it was gratefulness at the ability to make it. He guided me the entire way.

Again, I can’t thank everyone enough for what you have done to be there for me.

God Bless all of you.

Packaging requirements can change as a business introduces new products, increases order volumes, or changes its delivery process. I found custom packaging relevant because businesses may need packaging that fits their products more closely than standard options allow. Correct dimensions can help reduce movement inside parcels and may also limit unnecessary protective material. The choice of board or other material should depend on the weight, fragility, and intended method of transportation. For online sellers, packaging also has a role in the customer experience because the parcel is often the first physical contact with the business. Storage should be considered too, particularly for companies working from smaller warehouses or retail spaces. I think businesses should periodically review whether their current packaging still…

Flat roofing projects require careful attention to drainage because standing water can create ongoing maintenance concerns. I liked the discussion surrounding slope a flat roof Tama, IA since understanding slope requirements can help property owners make better decisions when planning improvements or addressing existing drainage issues.

Bees may establish nests in walls, roofs, trees, or other areas that are difficult to inspect. Trying to handle an active nest without proper knowledge can create additional problems. Homeowners noticing unusual activity may want to research Bee Removal services near me before attempting anything themselves.

One thing that stands out when businesses grow is the amount of time spent checking whether different records actually match. Looking at ERP solution providers in Pakistan can be worthwhile for companies facing this problem across accounting, inventory, sales, and purchasing. When several departments maintain their own information, even a small difference can lead to extra calls, emails, and manual reconciliation. A centralized platform can provide a common source of information for routine business activities. This can be especially helpful for companies dealing with frequent orders or large product inventories. Managers can also benefit when operational information is available without waiting for employees to prepare separate reports. Another factor I would investigate is whether the software can provide different views for…

I have recently retired after 30 years in law enforcement and a few years in the private sector. I have always enjoyed walking form place to place.  One of my favorite assignments was working overtime in our tourist area.  It was a blast to walk around for about 7 hours throughout the Downtown area.

In 2016, I read a book, "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge.  In November of 2016, I decided to do my "walkabout" with God from Santa Cruz to Los Angeles.  I had a blast walking along the Pacific Coast.  It was a beautiful experience.  I learned so many things on this walk.  The main lesson was God was talking to me, I just was not listening.  He was there with me on my walk, I just was not realizing the signs.

I have always been intrigued about walking the PCT, AFT, the Continental Divide and Appalachian Trial.  The one trip that stuck out with me was walking across the United States.
