WOW - November Miles

What an amazing journey this has been and we aren't even halfway done!!!  When we started this program, I was told that we would probably only make it about halfway to Afghanistan...however I am so proud to tell you that after collecting miles for the month of December we have traveled 16,327 miles!!!!!

Because of that amazing miles collected since we've begun, we have not only made it to Afghanistan, but we have made it BACK to 29 Palms.  With all the miles we have logged, we are back on our way back to Afghanistan, so let's keep moving!!

Here are some interesting facts as to where we are now in Richfield, Utah

  • Richfield, Utah falls almost halfway between Los Angeles, CA and Denver, CO and is often a stopping point for travelers along the way.  While not large it is the largest city in southern-central Utah.
  • The state tree: blue spruce.  The state flower: sego lily. The state bird: California gull.
  • Prehistoric people occupied the area of Richfield area for more than 7,000 years ago.
Remember it is never to late to join!  We will be collecting miles until the entire Battalion returns!  For more information, please email walkingtoandfromafghanistan@gmail.com
