We have just finished our first 66 miles, over the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Our start day was delayed at Mt. Washington, due to a biker holiday, when no vehicles are allowed up the mountain except motorcycles. So we started on Tuesday morning, when the weather was sunny and beautiful. We had great weather all 5 days. We climbed a lot of big uphills and steep downhills for our first few days out and now we are feeling pretty wiped out. We were above treeline for the last time and will miss the amazing views of the Appalachain Mountains. But we are thankful to be moving on to some smoother ground, as well as having legs and feet that are used to all the walking. We will miss the moose and wildlife of Maine and NH - we've already seen 2 moose, 3 snowshoe rabbits, a partridge, lots of frogs and little harmless snakes and a beautiful woodpecker. We have posted a few pictures of the fantastic scenery we pass by each day and a few other things. We are in Glencliff, NH for the night to shower, eat and restock! Thanks for your prayers. By the way, we have a new niece, Annabelle Good Dahlstrom, born on Sunday morning, one week ago. Praise God!!

YEA! Sounds like its going beautifully all around! SO glad you are keeping us updated through the blog. I am praying for your safety and health daily. I look forward to more updates! Love you......
It's good you are recording this for yourself and others. Thirty years from now - after you've scaled other mountains - it will bring you great joy to read this. I send my love to you there in N.H. I love that state and Vermont and Main and New York and Massachusetts and Delaware - camped in all those places with family or friends. Enjoy your youth and health!
Love's Prayers...Dottie

Rebecca and Heath,
I'm so very happy to read about your wonderful adventure and to know that you are both doing well. I think of you often and keep you in my prayers. People are so amazed when I tell them what you are doing for "vacation", but then you are both amazing people. Stay safe!
Sounds like you guys are having a blast already. You got away from us too soon to tell you by phone, but God's got us on a brand new excursion too, Sara's pregnant!!! We'd love to hear from you when you get a chance. Miss you both!
