........... and WE DID IT!!!!

After 69 total walks, nearly 332 miles in just shy of 90 total hours - we can officially say WE WALKED EVERY STREET IN YUCAIPA.

What seemed like an almost unattainable challenge on October 1st, when we stepped out onto our first official walk (on 2nd Street in Chapman Heights) turned into quite the adventure and something we looked forward to with each walk.

Through rain and shine, on asphalt and dirt, in mobile home parks and along pot-holed streets - WE DID IT!!!

Today we wrapped up this journey with a beautiful morning walk down Yucaipa Blvd. from Flag Hill Park.  We got to hear piped in music along the Historic District and we passed many of our citizens out for their morning strolls.  We walked the sidewalks until 14th Street and then had to deal with the infamous lack of sidewalks in town, for the bottom half of the blvd.

Follow our last journey, through the our eyes, in the pictures below.  We hope you've enjoyed our blog and maybe our walks have opened your eyes to things in our community that you might not have know existed.  I think, if nothing else, Jill and I hope that our journey might encourage others to get off their couches and out of their cars and see our town at street level - because it truly is a beautiful place to live!!!
