It really is a touching story! While I do not know them personally, being from the same general area, I do know some people who do know them. Jonathan Avitia, the man who passed away, is one of my former classmate's cousin. I pray for their safe journey along the way and look forward to every new post. I also love the pics that they post as I feel it helps visualize their journey even more. I can not wait for the book.
On this forum, there are always people stating how fast or how far a person should travel in a day. Imagine going 3-6mph and only 20-24 miles per day on a 1000 mile journey. WOW!
