WALKER REQUIREMENTS

• We will be walking about 10-15 miles a day, sometimes on rough ground. We will start about 7:00 am each day and walk to lunch time. We will meet with schools and community groups and churches in the afternoons and evenings. We will be asking for hospitality in people’s homes. Sometimes we will be in hotels, and sometimes we will be camping. One day every couple of weeks we will rest, and every couple of months we will break for several days. This is a walking community in essence. We will be reaching out to communities along the way. We will also be connecting with the beauty of the plant and animal communities along the way. We will stop to work on specific restoration projects, plant trees, or visit places of beauty. People can join the walk for varying periods of time, from a day or so to several weeks.
• Valid Passport required. In the case of Mexico, a tourist visa will be issued at port of entry. Call us for details concerning visas for other countries.
• If you have questions, please call Rolene in Mexico at 011-52-1-646-192-1178 or Josh Harris at 415-509-7122.
