Riding in Washington

Its been a long time since I've posted. So many things have happened. I haven't felt lead to put the sign back up on my bicycle, but its not impossible it could happen again. I'm entertaining the thought of writing a book. Up till this point I just haven't felt lead to do it. An idea for a book came to me this morning and I'm going to run with it.
I'm currently in Bellingham WA. I'm riding a 1970 JC Penny bicycle that has only 1 gear working. God continues to take care of my needs. There are so many wonderful bicycle trails in this area. I've considered riding from the Canadian border to the Mexican border a long the coast. I just have not heard the call to do it.
I doubt if anyone is still checking the web site, but if you do, I thank you for your prayers and concerns. I pray God continues to show all of us mercy. Have a great day.My email adress is daniel.gibbs@yahoo.com

Trail Walk Ends?

I just can't seem to get my strength back. I've been eating a lot of power bars and taking a lot of vitamins, but I'm still real tired. I got a ride into Damascus early. I'm really considering to get off the trail. If any one reading this feels I shouldn't get off the trail, please pray and/or let me know. I prayed last night and I believe I got a clear answer. Have a great night, your friend Dan

Still Going

God is so faithful. When I've needed him the most he has provided love and support. I'm still fighting fatigue. Some days I feel strong and others In get real tired. It is improving every day.
We had 5 days of rain and clouds, then 5days(about) of sunny weather. Now a cold front has come thru and I've been staying down in Irwin in the lower elevation. This is a wonderful town with many nice people.
Thirty miles back I questioned if I was doing what God would have me do and I was tempted to leave the trail. He again re encouraged me to keep going. Unlike riding a bicycle, You don't see a ton of people to encourage you up on the trail. Please pray God continues to guide and lead me where he would choose. Thank you everyone for every thing you have done int he name of God.
I must go now, May God's will be done here as it is in heaven, and may he have mercy on all of us as he guides us closer to himself, Love Dan

Under the weather

I caught some type of bug a couple of days ago. I've been able to stay in Gatlinburg 2 nights now. Its Saturday, and I'm hoping to be able to spend 1 more night in the lower elevation here. This would allow me to attend a church service. It was raining for hours earlier this morning. They say the temperature will drop 4 degrees every 1000 feet. The 1st shelter is at 6000 feet plus. That would mean 35 instead of 51 and raining. I'm enjoying the festive atmosphere of Gatlinburg. A Catholic Monsignor bought a motel room for me last night. There are so many nice, and caring people still in the world. There are so many things to do in this town. Almost all of them involve money, but it is fun to watch others stroll the streets in this festive atmosphere. The aquarium here sounds kike it is a very special place. There are so many other attractions, to many to mention. I hope all who read this will have a great day, Love Dan

200 miles and counting

We had snow again. We were at Fontana Dam and it snowed at 1775 feet. I was going to go up to 6500 feet. It would of been in the single digits in temperature. God continues to meet my needs as I travel the trail. I'm able to get a motel in Gatlinburg with a man on the trail tonight. Its nice to shower and clean up at least once every 10 days. Its usually in the 20's at night. My sleeping bag is a 40 degree bag so it leads to problems. I've met many nice people, and some believers. I do daily devotionals, and witness of Gods faithfulness often. My trail name is Stake and shake. It has many personal meanings. Please pray God continues to bless me with opportunities to serve him and that he continues to keep me healthy, Love Dan

Witnessing on trail

I'm getting into the smokies. God is taking care of all of us here. I've been able to witness to many, many people including 19 college students yesterday. I love you all. Daniel

Now Walking

I've given up the bicycle to walk with the Lord on the Appliation trail. God is so good. I'm able to share of his goodness and mercy daily. I love all of you, I will post, but it won't be very often. Please continue to contact me at daniel.gibbs@yahoo.com.
