My wife and I saw you on Barr Trail on the way up Pikes Peak, we regret not stopping and talking and maybe lending a hand. Not that it's a big deal but Pikes Peak is not the tallest in the cont. US...it's Mt. Whitney in CA. Elbert is second in cont. US near Leadville, CO. At any rate, an amazing feat on any 14er and we really hope that you and Nice made it safe and sound!
i saw you on MO-50 on my way to the lake of the ozrks and just now passed you at 38th and main in KCMO (my dog ran after you at the intersection). best of luck!
Met you in Lees Summit, Mo. Glad to meet you, Erik and Nice. Good luck and Gods speed on your journey(s)
We met you briefly on HWY 50 in Lone Jack MO. The globe is a clever tool to catch attention. Hopefully your effort pays off big time!!!
:) i was part of the team that chatted with you by Holden, MO. I came on your blog and then joined this group. Your group goal is 2000 and i sent an invite to the rest of our team that supports you (15 girls). Keep on trecking and the Holden Eagles wish you the best of luck!
I am glad you enjoyed your sandwich and Nice enjoued the roast beef. I hoped that helped for an evening meal. God Bless and Peace Out!!!
Hello Erik- It was a pleasure meeting You and Nice, at Broadway and Harrison in Sedalia, Mo. It is a wonderful thing you are doing. I hope you are able to continue your journey to Pike's Peak. You guys be safe on the road. And may God Bless You and Yours for this journey of awareness and raising funds that you are doing.

I saw you when you were walking through Forest Park in St. Louis. You were quite a distance away from us - you were walking along side the basin near Art Hill and we were up on the hill by the World's Fair Pavillion. I would have ran down to check it out, but my toddler had other plans :)
I think it's fantastic what you are doing! I lost my mom to diabetes a little over 3 years ago...I am excited for what you are doing to raise awareness about diabetes :)
Erik,
I was traveling along Hwy 50 today and saw you. I thought to myself who is this guy and why the globe. Well then I found my answer in our local paper (Sedalia Democrat). What a wonderful way to bring awareness. May God bless you and give you a good journey on the remainder of your walk to KC and on your future walks. My prayers will be with you.
Hey World Guy,
You came through my town California MO yesterday, was unable to stop and chat. Tried to read your blog but was curious about what your overall goal was and if there was one other then awareness. Also curious if any of this is faith related? Seems to be a fun adventure. Good luck and God bless!!!
Erik, Nice,
My wife and I enjoyed meeting you on Hwy 94 in Augusta, MO on July 7th (my wife's birthday!) and we posted some pictures on our facebook pages. Here is a link to mine...

Erik, Nice,
Great to have met you both the other day! I'm the one that stopped you on Hwy 94 just before hwy 40. I mentioned that my mother had just been diagnosed and I was waiting on blood tests to come back. Still waiting on those results.. As promised I looked up the website and made a donation. Thank you for what your doing you are truly an inspiration. Stay safe! Pictures can be found on my facebook or on http://picasaweb.google.com/cpka... feel free to copy and re-use!
Thanks Again!
