Day 28
A total rest day in this beautiful cabin. It snowed ALL day. I wish I would’ve gotten better pictures but I was too lazy. I ate a lot and watched Netflix all day. In between all of that excitement I got to know David and his mother, who was also here at the cabin. I’m so glad that we I was able to meet David.
He has had a remarkable life and understands that it is important to do what you want but to also help others along the way. I related to him on many levels. He showed me an article in people magazine that did a story on him because he gave away one million dollars. He told me stories about being the first openly gay man to ever run for President of the United States. His mother was also very wise and I gained a lot by listening to both of them tell stories.
Domino had a lot of fun as well. There were cats and birds for her to chase around in the snow all day. She couldn’t sit still. It was so funny to watch her go at it.
I will miss this place and hope to return someday after the I complete the walk and settle into whatever is next for me. Tomorrow the temperatures are supposed to increase but of course a lot of rain is coming. Rain I can handle though. I just don’t like to be cold haha. Georgia boys don’t do well in the cold.
Tomorrow I will set up and go as far as I want and set up camp for the first time in over a week. While it will rain on me at night and all day the next day I am still looking forward to being out there again. I really love it. Even when I’m miserable and in pain I love every second of this quest. I’m so glad I get to share it with you all through this blog. I hope that those of you that are seeking a quest of your own will be inspired by this to get started on a plan to do something extraordinary. Something that would help others while helping yourself out at the same time. I’d love to hear about it if it happens 🙂
Good luck tomorrow and stay safe.

You have no idea the inspiration you have become for so many of us TAM moms…the worst heartbreak is finding out that my son was doing heroin….I appreciate you sharing your sisters story and walking for her..it breaks my heart that we’ve created this big family of supporters of this disease but really glad you’re doing what you and Domino are doing. We love you Brett & Domino!!!! ❤
It was a great honor and pleasure to host Brett Bramble and Domino in my remote Log Cabin home. I highly recommend him as a courteous and kind guest if you are considering hosting him during his walk across America as he walks to promote awareness about drug addiction and overdose deaths.
Looked like real nice muddy day. Nice photos. How was the Central Station Tunnel, looked kind of wet.
Stay safe and dry as you continue your walk here in WV, i live in Stonewood, just outside of Clarksburg.
