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 :)
