Jul 5, 2011 at 8:08 pm #1756326Wow, 19 sponsors and you then added a Paypal Donation Button, dude, you do have "balls".
Jul 5, 2011 at 8:35 pm #1756334I have truly enjoyed following your story. It is an inspiration to me. Eric, you wrote "We were meant to be surrounded by the beauty and peace of creation and the ones we love, not have our souls crushed by a greedy, heartless boss." and I agree whole-heartedly. Is it any wonder that we all love and want to spend so much time in creation where we find peace and comfort when we realize that creation is the essence of God? You both are in my prayers and I can't wait to find out where you've been and what you've seen next. Balls and Sunshine, good walkin' to ya.
Thanks to all the sponsors that have made this trip possible. Really.
Jul 6, 2011 at 3:35 am #1756379Awesome! I missed the previous part, need to find it now.
Jul 6, 2011 at 6:00 am #1756400I somehow missed the first article so I went back and reread it. Wow Eric you are one cool dad. I appreciate how you want to pour into both your daughters. Having spent most of my adult life dealing with kids in one way or another I can tell you it makes a huge difference when adults make their kids a priority whether its backpacking trips or trips to Disney! I can spend a day or two around a fews kids at camp or wherever and tell you exactly which kids have parents who pour into their kids and which kids have parents who don't. Sounds like your getting yours off on the right track and having a blast doing it. Good luck on the trail!
Jul 6, 2011 at 7:28 am #1756416Absolutely Fantastic! I cannot wait to read the rest.
Jul 6, 2011 at 12:29 pm #1756502Picked up this thru-hiker Erin's journal from High Sierra where it was posted relative to current conditions. She seems to be hiking on the same schedule with Sunshine and has a few Sunshine stories and photos. Sunshine seems to be living up to her trail-name!
Jul 6, 2011 at 7:26 pm #1756637Jake Rabbit here! Wow I'm honored to have met both of you last year. Keep up the good work, I wish I was on the trail again this year.
Jul 7, 2011 at 7:54 am #1756771I loved reading this! So well written and so inspiring!!! Miss you guys and we all hope to see you when get a bit further north. Logan says hi to ya Sunshine and misses you.
Jul 7, 2011 at 5:12 pm #1756975For the link to Erins blog. I've been there and read up on her hike and got to see Balls and Sunshine (feels funny writing that!) and really enjoyed it. Thanks again for posting the link.
Jul 8, 2011 at 5:55 am #1757149Did you miss the part where he says, "in response to all the questions about donations?"
Jul 10, 2011 at 5:37 pm #1757869But cha' can't blame a guy for tryin'.
Jul 11, 2011 at 12:20 am #1757973Incredible, you are an inspiration and your daughter even more so.
Jul 11, 2011 at 9:38 am #1758044Thanks for the update.
I have avoided this thread because it had the word Disneyland in it; glad I finally got curious enough to find out it was about you guys…Such a nice read, such a nice adventure. Thanks!Jul 11, 2011 at 9:46 am #1758050"Wow, 19 sponsors and you then added a Paypal Donation Button, dude, you do have "balls"."
Wow, your very first post on these forums is to disparage someone doing something very cool. It's a rather different part of the body I'd associate with you dude, rhymes with "no class"……
Jul 11, 2011 at 9:57 am #1758054Yeah Doug. I was going to say something too, but wanted to leave a positive note instead….I am glad they are getting a lot of support and inspire so many people.
Thanks Balls and Sunshine and all your sponsors and supporters.Jul 15, 2011 at 4:55 pm #1759784This is inspirational. I have a dream of doing a thru-hike with my whole family one day…
