Christa Cooper Finds Isaiah Shields On His Walk Across America

This was just TOO cool! Have you been following Isaiah Shields? He has embarked on a journey to #WalkAmerica from the starting point where he lives in Utah, to the western most point of the United States to the Eastern most point. I started seeing quite a few posts where people were finding him here in Delaware and I thought, man that would be so cool to find him! I told my girls his story and how he's walking across America and my oldest, Bella's immediate question was "why?" followed by "I want to do that!" and my youngest Caroline asked "wait, is he real?" Once I showed his YouTube page to them and they started understanding more ... they joined my mission in finding him as they thought it would be so cool to meet a "youtuber!"

I found out he was headed close to us in Bear, Delaware today on his way to Newark. I sent him a Facebook message which he was so kind to respond and let me know his where abouts! Once we heard he was on Route 40 near Fox Run Shopping Center we happened to be right in that area and BAM, found him on the side of the road! He was kind to talk to us for a few minutes and take a couple pictures and even let us sign his cart!

On his 407th day walking ... and 11th pair of shoes ... he is on his way to Maine! Follow his journey on YouTube "YOU DO YOU" and find him on Facebook and Instagram

So inspirational and such a cool journey to follow along!

Safe travels, Isaiah!
