The Facebook page is in the works. Thanks for the support. If You have something You want to add check in there or through the communications channels here.

This blog will still be updated so keep checking in here, but hopefully the Facebook page will be helpful in connecting with people who are interested in this too.

the page is "each along (a walk for awareness)"

positive feedback, good.

So, I'm getting more friendly waves on the road.

Individuals are beginning to voice some promising things too. There's someone interested in escorting in Colorado and a possible co-walker there (thanks R). There are individuals in Arkansas that have expressed interest in gathering group, cause and individual support for the walk.

We'd like to thank everyone that has done anything so far. If it was only to mention the site to someone else, it is having an effect.

Keep posting and contacting and I'll keep walking. :)

(I'm planning on posting some more detailed maps and descriptions of parts of the route soon. If You are interested in more details about a particular section let Me know. thanks D)

training (did I just say that) has begun

I began walking (intentionally training) recently. Approximately six hours is the longest yet. It's really amazing scenery here. I've been to diverse regions: Colorado, New Zealand, Antarctica -right here in Putnam County is quite beautiful also.


I sometimes walk roads that I'm not familiar with. Other than keeping track of the general direction that I need to be working back toward I have little to navigate by. My six hour walk was one of these. After walking to Algood and then back up along 111 to the edge of Putnam county, I began to trek through the mountain roads. I was concerned that some of these rural roads don't always connect with others, but the roads came out in general directions similar to where I was heading, and after going up a mountain and coming down what seemed a different peak that was connected by a road, I found myself in the area of a road that I knew went into Cookeville, the town I was heading to.

So, if You find yourself in Putnam County or specifically Cookeville keep an eye out for Me. The sides of some of the roads are narrow, so if You want to honk or shout be careful that You don't startle Me too bad. :)




I'm posting some pics that were taken while training.



A sufficient flow of materials, etc. is developing that a Facebook page is in discussion. If anyone is interested in being the Administrator let Us know. Thanks
