The terrain was rolling hills. The walk was only 12 miles ending at the trail head for the Western Maryland Rail Trail. I completed it in less than three and a half hours.
I want to thank everyone for getting the word out to the media. It has been amazing. Tom said that when he was driving to meet me at the car drop off point this morning FM 104.7 WAYZ a clear channel station heard throughout the tri-state area (MD-WV-PA) had my walk as the second story after the new Pope. Must be a really slow news day. I have no idea how they got the story.
I was really glad to see that on WHAG-TV in Hagerstown last night they had a great shot of Anne Kat walking with the puppies. The interview has been posted to the media section of the blog. I was at the Mc Donald's in Indian Springs where a woman with a really cute young girl in a purplish pink dress recognized the fluorescent green hoodie and gave me coupons for future McDonald's visits.
Looks like you are making pretty good time.
ReplyDeleteI am celebrating my 18th year as stage one thyroid cancer survivor and will be doing walk for cancer research and awareness starting on April 14th, 2013 to April 30th, 2013. I will be walking on a rail trail.
How have you found walking US40 so far?
US 40 has been great. For the most part the shoulders have been wide. The people I've met along the way have been incredibly supportive
