I just got to Marfa, Texas.
I lost my phone on the road, and that really sucks. That was the first time I tried to take a picture of a roadrunner and then the phone fell out of my hand, went down the hill and since it was a hill, I decided to make it a loss.
Now I will just buy a camera and shoot with that. The problem is that there are few things to photograph. But I will do my best. Since money is scarce I will buy a throw away camera, and later get another phone. I really do not use this phone for calling, except Skype.
Marfa is another small town like Van Horn, TX. There are maybe about 3,000 people here in town. They are somewhat friendly, so I am having a pretty good time.
later I will be leaving to a place where I can do some cleaning...
Until I get more pics, I hope that you all are going to have a good day.
The town is so small, the folks I talked to about the cryptocurrency do not get what it is. I did my best to explain it.
Adieu!

Van Horn, TX and beyond...
Here are a few pics from El Paso to here...
Me and my buddy of 15 years SGT. Parrett...and my new cart.
From my walk El Paso to Van Horn, TX about 155 miles, which took me 4 days total...
I also do have a few people to talk to about VirtaCoin so that they can start accepting it in their office/store front...
Until next time...

Two days remain, and then I am on my way...
Just because I have not posted in a while, doesnt mean that I have forgotten about you all, or that I have gotten lazy...lol
Last time I posted I was in Alamogordo, NM. Now I am getting ready to leave in two days. It has been a great time here with my friends and others.
With the days counting down to taking off for San Antonio, TX, I need to reflect a little on my trip so far...
The great people in El Centro, CA. The wonderful folks in Yuma, and Fortuna Hills, AZ. The folks in Quartzsite, AZ and the wonderful barber in Barbra, AZ.
Salome, and Wickenburg, AZ. In Salome, the great people at Mystic Wold Trading Post. If you are interested in Native Jewelry, just look up their Facebook Page, and send them a message.
I got to Phoenix and the people there were great. The bus ride to El Paso was nice too, and I was happy to sleep in a place other than the ground.

El Paso, and Alamogordo...
Fort Bliss is a major military base here in Texas. And since I have been here in El Paso, my good friend Francis, and his wife Gail gave me a tour of part of the base where he works.
I went to Alamogordo to see another friend of mine, Laura. We went to White Sands National Monument, and had a lot of fun with the youngsters. Her three children greeted me by jumping on me and taking me down to the ground. (LOL) I have not seen them in several years, and they have grown!
Laura, her children, Francis and Gail, and I went trick or treating with them. Their costumes were great.
I am building another CART, and Francis is going to help me with this one. He is military and has skills that I dont have. We will get a great cart back out on the road for sure.
My friends as Mystic Wolf Trading Post have some wonderful Native jewelry. If you like hand made authentic native jewelry, just check out their page, and let them know.
I still have 4 to 5 days here and I need to make sure that I can get the things I need before I leave. That means I will need to get supplies in the next few days.
Going to several places and working there to be able to get the things I need.
That is all for today.

My dilemma...
Dilemma...
I was talking to a guy here in Phoenix and he told me that if I could find someone to take the cart to El Paso, TX, someone who is moving and might be willing to pay me to help them, I would be doing better...
That is an awesome scenario and one that I hope comes true. How likely am I to find a person going to El Paso, and willing to pay me?
I dont know, but I guess I can start looking. I only have about 12 hours left, or I will have to get rid of the cart, which is something I didnt want to do.
If anyone here has a suggestion, or knows of someone moving from Phoenix, please let me know...

So what I feared has come.
Already I was told by the Arizona Highway Patrol that I am not able to walk on the freeways. No longer will I. Today, I made a call to the New Mexico Highway Patrol...
As they have stated to me, people are not allowed to walk on the freeway.
That is not good, and the reason, because from the Arizona/New Mexico border all the way to El Paso, TX, it is interstate the entire way.
That is the only way to get to El Paso, by the way. I looked, and I have no choice but to dump my cart at a recycle center and get on a greyhound heading to El Paso, TX.
I hate to do this, but I have to accept reality.
Plans have changed once again...
Will update in the next few days.

The change we want to see in the world...
What is waiting for me in Phoenix?
Since arriving here, at about 5 pm, the people have been inviting, and helpful. No real problems. This morning I was asked by a police officer to leave the side lot of Safeway. (I stayed there last night.) He noticed that the cart was full of cans, and asked me how I was transporting all of it.
I told him the reason I was traveling and what I was doing in Phoenix, and that the cart has wheels. I was picking up cans along the side of the road to turn in for cash. He thought that was a great idea. Seeing that I was on the side of the road almost all day and walking 25 miles (daily), it made sense.
Then he asked me if I needed to find a homeless shelter, and I told him that I didnt need one. My cart prevents me from going to certain places, and besides, about everything I own will more than likely be stolen. I am not going to be here for more than 4 days anyway. He then asked me if I needed anything, and I said no, and thanked him for his concern. A great guy. :)
So, I have opted to stay outside and as far away as I can from the public eye. I understand how annoying it is to have to see people like me on a daily basis. I get it, I look homeless, and I am an eyesore. I know that not all people who are homeless, I call myself "houseless", are just scavengers. Many would rather get things for free, rather than work for it.
I was raised with the mentality to work for my meals/housing/clothing. Even if I am not offered a meal AFTER I volunteer, I am not worried because I know that there are soup kitchens out there where I can volunteer, and eat after. This is where I get together with the people in the long lines and let them know that service to their fellow man is the best form of charity.
Leading by example is not easy, but it is rewarding. You start to see a change in yourself, and in the community.
I may not be in a certain place for a long time, but I know that the time I do spend with these people will forever be implanted in their minds. That is what I am looking for. Not that I, personally, want to be remembered, but the things people can do with their time in the community where they live.
Last year, I was watching a half hour YouTube video. I asked myself, after it ended, what I could have done instead of watching it. A half hour is not really a lot of time. Writing this blog, when I am able to, takes about half an hour due to picture uploads and editing.
What can WE do with a half hour? Well, I will end with a quote from our late president, John F. Kennedy.
"One person can make a difference, and everyone should try."
If everyone gave a half hour of their time every week, things would change quickly. We are the force that makes the change in our area. Dont wait for the other guy to start...

Hello to all VTA users and friends of my blog. :)
Well, I am now in Sun City, AZ. Just a few miles from Phoenix, and excited about the next week.
First, I want to thank the folks at Wells Country Store for the wonderful pizza, and the convo.
Stephanie was especially wonderful. We chatted outside, (rather I chatted her ear off) for about 15 minutes as I explained what my trip was about. She took a picture of me holding my sign.
Yes, I have been collecting aluminum cans from Yuma to here in Sun City. That is another way to make some money on the trip. (I dont like asking people for money, so since I go and volunteer my time in each city I arrive in, there is always a way to earn money.)
In Phoenix tomorrow, and will be there for 4 days. I wanted to spend a week, but my time is limited due to the cart breaking down.
Here are some more pics from Wickenburg, to Sun City...
The pedestrian walkway across the Hassayampa River, and some history of Wickenburg on a board next to the river. Hassayampa means “following the water as far as it goes.” It is also known as the river that runs upside down. This is because most of it runs underground.
I do not know what made this flowering plant so special, but when I passed by it, the ENTIRE thing was covered with bees, wasps, a few butterflies, and flies. It was the only plant as far as I could see, and I guess the bugs REALLY liked it...
The couple here gave me a huge bag of cans, and also helped me to get on my way again. :)
This is the site of Tiki Rick. He is listed in the book, "Weird Arizona". This is just outside Wickenburg.
My cart at the Wishing Well Park. This is about 2 hours before my cart got full of cans.
My new friend Josh. He was very nice to listen to my VirtaCoin speech. Thanks bro, and the sandwich was awesome! (y)
That was it. Wickenburg to Sun City is 40 miles.
Phoenix is just a few miles away, and finally I am here! :)

Second photo is the 439th Ave. before getting to Wickenburg. The first is the "Jail Tree" in the center of town.
Wickenburg, AZ. Will be heading south along highway 60 to Phoenix later today.
Will be working a little at the soup kitchen here, and will meet some real neat people. :)
Keep an eye in my blog for the latest updates.
Take care everyone!

Thanks to all those who view this blog. I am doing this for several reasons, and the most important is to give the people of the world a first hand view of how life is supposed to be lived.
I go into communities and volunteer my time. I give of myself, LEAD BY EXAMPLE, and show communities how to end hunger and homelessness.
If I didnt LEAD BY EXAMPLE, then I would just be another person doing nothing. We all can do something in our communities, and if you already are, then good for you. You are someone who cares about others, and gives to see the people you serve smile.
They in turn will do the same. It is a "pay it forward" sort of thing, and one that you do every day.
Here are some pics from the trip after Fortuna Hills.
Out by the Yuma Testing Site...
My friends Sasha, and Cosmo at McDonalds in Quartzsite, AZ.
Quartzsite camels...
The Mystic Wolf Trading Post, in Salome, AZ This place is also a restaurant and a place of great people! :)
The lone palm tree outside Wenden, AZ
I ran into Jim Tierney going across country from San Diego, to Florida. He is doing it for the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption. Here is his page.
There is more to come. Keep coming back and see where I will be next, what city I will be doing my service, and what people I meet.
Thanks to the VirtaCoin community for helping me, and believing in me, and for my faithful followers from long ago. :)

Hello all!
Me just getting one more photo before leaving Yuma
My cart broke and I had to take the wood frame off. I guess the desert was too much for the nails and screws. Jolting, rocking back and forth, and climbing hills, the thing just had enough.
The frame is still good and I have decided to make the best of it. Two old milk crates now hold my belongings, and I received a HUGE umbrella while I was in Fortuna Hills, AZ.
I made some wonderful friends, the guy helped me fix my cart, in Fortuna Hills...
I made more friends there who even took me out to dinner, and even gave me a night sleep at a motel! (A special thanks to the wonderful couple, I didnt get a picture of the couple, but I did get one of the husband, Chris. Just before this picture, we got into a fender-bender in the church parking lot. He was helping to transport my cart to the motel. (Sorry buddy for that... )
Here is the sign I made in Fortuna Hills, after the cart broke and my other signs fell down the side of the hill, (along with my clothes and other things) as I was walking at night! :(
Signs
Here I am going past a cotton mill in...Arizona? It is real!
Some cotton bales and pics of me too. :P
Military helos and other at the Yuma Proving Grounds 20 miles east of Yuma, AZ...
I passed the Gila River, that gave its name to the very poisonous lizard, the Gila Monster. I didnt run into any "monsters" while walking, because I was mostly on Highway 95.
Next was the border patrol checkpoint before getting to Quartzsite, AZ. (No pic)
And then Quartzsite. Here we are at the McDonald's and later I will be going to Dollar General to pick up some needed supplies.

Top pic is David and Cody, looking cool (because we both have the same first name...lol) with the frame of the cart...
Second pic is David and me.
Third pic is David by himself, and the last pic is me by Giss Parkway just about half mile inside Yuma.
And at the Yuma Armed Forces Memorial Park.
Tomorrow there will be more photos to come, and some with the "almost" finished cart, and the final look! :)

The "Walk to Help America and the World through VirtaCoin!"
Here we are in Yuma, Arizona! :)
Starting tomorrow, I will be out and about taking pictures and getting acquainted with the flora and fauna. Then I will take more pics of the city and people.
Here are a few I took as I was crossing the bridge from California to Arizona! :)
Pic of me... This is me standing in front of Giss Parkway, just about a half mile into Yuma.
Pic of the one car bridge... I walked over this bridge. Only one car at a time can cross the bridge, but there are two pedestrian walkways. There is also a train truss and I got a good pic of the train leaving Arizona and entering California.
While I am here I will be picking up my 500 Vistaprint business cards that were designed by John Moles, the creator of Mouse Trap Traffic. He is our main VirtaCoin developer.
You can check out who our Council members are HERE:)
Please check out our community HERE:)
Check out my website HERE:)
There are many more adventures to come on my trip, and I hope you all stick with me until the day I walk into New York City! :)
I am here in Yuma for the next 5 days getting the cards out to many people and doing what I can to help the community. I love to volunteer!
I will be heading on to Phoenix, Arizona and that is about 175 miles agian. Keep in touch with me @ codymacstewart@gmail.com or our Skype VTA Republic group. We need more people to come on in!
On to Phoenix and I will again give the photos, and the pic of the cart later once I get the pics right! :P

Why I am walking...
Hello to all who follow this blog!
Well, it has been a pretty good start to a hard trip. I trained for about 3 1/2 weeks going all through San Diego. Up hills, down hills. The last day I was in SD, I went 18 miles and didnt stop. That was the farthest I have walked in a long time.
But why walk? Because that way, instead of taking a bus, or another form of transport, you might miss someone who is in need. "But Cody, you are not rich enough to help everyone. What can you do?" I can show them how we all can become better off by leaving the fiat currency we use today, the USD, (U.S. dollar) and move onto another form of currency. Digital currency, also known as "cryptocurrency".
How did I get here? By trying to make a difference in the world. I know that my attempt is small compared to many who have a team of helpers, but I do what I can.
Promoting VirtaCoin is the #2 thing I do. The #1 thing I do is bring awareness to the condition of the world. It really does not matter if you are a christian, hindu, muslim, or pagan. We all live here on this planet and we all need to help one another. It does not mean that we are going to agree with each other on all things, but we all know what is going on around us.
Can we escape the rampant hunger, homelessness, chronic suffering? We can. And the way to end it all is to get up off our butts and get moving to do something in our community.
What can you do? Well, for most, it will be hard to give of themselves. It is because sacrifice is hard. Being humble is difficult as well, and so pride is a major hurdle. Once we get over our preconceived notions when it comes to homelessness, and world hunger, by just walking down any street where a homeless person is.
First, recognise that there is a problem. Second, find a solution. There are always people who can point out the obvious..."Hey Bill, look, the homelessness is getting worse in our town. I cant stand them, and wish they would just leave!" But where will they go? To another city to "burden" them? This is called "self centered thinking". It is obvious to anyone with a brain that these things are a "burden" on the community. But what about the people who face it every day?
We need to see with new eyes to be able to provide answers to the issues that we face on a daily basis.
Give some examples as to what we all can do to help. Just comment, and voice your opinion...

Today is the day!
Since this is my first long distance walk, and one that will be challenging and demanding, I will keep up with this blog every 3 to 4 days. If it takes longer please be patient. If you would like to join the VirtaCoin convo, please go to http://www.reddit.com/r/VirtaCoin/
If you have suggestions for me, please feel free to join our VTA Republic Skype chatroom. I am there and so is another of the VirtaCoin council members. His name is Aeon. As of now, there are 4 council members...John Moles, who is a programmer/developer; Grant, also a savvy individual when it comes to making sure our VTA sites are running correctly; Aeon, a cloud-fundraiser, also event organizer, and me, the guy who loves to get the word out for VirtaCoin.
Please take time to look at the Reddit and know that we are an active community there and would love to answer any question you may have.
Until next time!
Adieu :)
