Day 97

I left the hotel at midnight, knowing that I couldn’t go back, and walked into the night. Nothing really happened. Pretty boring. I was listening to the radio and I had to scare off a few possums and raccoons. Nothing out of the ordinary…

It want until daylight came that stuff started to happen. I was scheduled to be on the Jack Daniels morning show on power 97.7 FM this morning and I was listening to it on my radio. They would amp me up by talking about me before they called. All morning they would play songs for walking and would keep mentioning that they would be talking to me later.

Later finally came. They called and I talked on the air about the cause and about the walk. It went well. A few people honked after it to show that they had heard it. I got a few nice messages from people thanking me for taking a stand to raise awareness for this epidemic.

22 miles and 9 hours later I come up to a KOA campground. I’ve never stayed at one of these before. They are very nice! Also very expensive when it comes to camping. They were nice and upgraded me to a cabin with AC though. I have been taking advantage of the amenities here. I have some BBQ food coming soon and a root beer float. After that I’m going to sleep all day so that I can walk all night again!!!

I’ll be in Kansas City in 2 days I think. I want to take one day off there to do site-seeing and another day off to do NOTHING!
