Day 150!!!!!!
Finally had a day with a good weather forecast. I slept in a little and didn’t start walking until 10. It was nice not to have to rush to beat heat or rain. I took my time and enjoyed walking as if I was just taking a stroll through my neighborhood.
I came into Monte Vista and stopped into the visitors center to say hello and announce my presence. Also to get the number of the newspaper and tips on places to eat and stay. The woman there was very helpful.
I called the paper and they said they would run the story. I’m making a big impact in the San Luis Valley in Colorado. Many people are affected substance abuse here. In some way or another.
I walked 3 miles outside of town to go to a drive-in movie theater to see if they would let me camp there. I got there and they didn’t let me camp overnight but they gave me a discount on the hotel. It’s really cool. They have a hotel with big windows so you can lay in bed and watch the movie. I’m very excited. I haven’t seen a movie yet since I’ve started the walk. They are showing Suicide Squad.
I talked to my friend Mikey from back home for a while on the phone and then I’ve been talking to some other people at the hotel about the walk and my cause. Also, watching USA dominate the Olympics.
Great day today. It’s my dad’s birthday too.
Day 150!!!
Happy big 150. It doesn’t you have been walking that long. I have been following your walk ever since you started.
