Well, a year from now hopefully, I'll be somewhere east of the Pacific Ocean, walking along some highway, wondering what in the world possessed me to want to do what I'm doing. I'm sure Valda will have been wondering the same thing too. I can't really answer that question yet, but as of right now, it is just something I want to do. A month into the walk, I may not feel that way. Who knows? Right now, I'm getting a bit more psyched up for it, realizing that the next 12 months will probably bring ups and downs in my mood, thoughts about my sanity, and maybe questions about my ability to do it. All I can do right now though is prepare for the 3200 or so odd miles, and wonder just how I'm going to get through Pennsylvania.

Dear Rick,
You are one amazing DUDE!!!
Valda, you are pretty terrific too!
Love ya and hope you get to do everything you hope to!
Hey Rick! What a Goal! Will val be driving the Motorhome while you strut out in front?
Let's see, the way I figure it is that if you walk on average of 3.5 MPH, it will take you about 915 hours to walk 3200 miles. If you walk 5 hours a day - That's 183 days or 6.1 months +/- a couple days for bad weather and blisters!
Make sure you wear a pedometer! I can't wait to get the "Steps per Day" count on this blog!
So sorry to read about that terrible "Stump" taking a hunk out of you!! Sure hope you calf is healing well!!
Love your Blog and will certainly stay in touch with you as you go along!!!!
Love Ya,
P & R
