There have been many people who have asked me many things about being on my trip, and here are the top 10 questions, not in any order...
#10 ---> Question: When you are out on the road, where do you sleep?
Answer: I have a tent, a sleeping bag, and I pitch the tent wherever I can when the sun sets...
#9 ----> Question: How do you support yourself?
Answer: By donations and by working. I do not believe in getting handouts, and that is why I will always ask what there is to do to earn the money someone gave me, or for the food they are wanting to buy for me.
#8 ----> Question: Does anyone sponsor you?
Answer: No. I rely on working for everything I receive.
#7 ----> Question: Do you ever accept rides?
Answer: Yes. There was a pastor in Tatum, NM who asked me this question and I told him that I will only accept a ride to the next town. But the very next day, I accepted a 750 mile ride from Tatum to Conway, Arkansas. The reason was because I paid for the gas, and the person was going in that direction. (For the most part...lol)
#6 ----> Question: How do you do your laundry?
Answer: When I am in a town that has a laundromat, I wash my clothes.
#5 ----> Question: What was your worst/best experience(s)?
Answer: Worst experience was when I was walking in the freezing rain outside of Tatum, NM and there was nothing to get under to keep from getting wet.
Best experience was when I was walking in the freezing rain outside of Tatum, NM and the lady picked me up and drove a day and a half, all the while it was raining nonstop, to Conway, AR.
Best experience #2 was when I was about one mile from the major bridge outside Newport, AR and a lady stopped on the road and asked me if I had a baby in the cart I push. She gave me a ride all the way to Jonesboro, AR after I spent 2 nights in her travel trailer.
#4 ----> Question: Dont you get tired walking 17 to 20 miles every day?
Answer: Yes. But I dont mind doing it. I actually look forward to walking to another adventure...
#3 ----> Question: Wow! You are 40 years old?! (When I tell them how long I lived in Idaho, (37 years) and California, (2 years).
Answer: Yes. I will turn 40 in a few months.
#2 ----> Question: So you are like Forrest Gump?
Answer: No. He "felt like running", where I am doing this WALK to bring awareness to the churches and communities of believers. We need to come together and do more to get away from the government funded programs. We are not to be a part of this world.
#1 ----> Question: How many pairs of shoes have you gone through?
Answer: I am on my 4th pair total. I spent several months in El Paso, TX and went through a pair there, so five. But I do not count that pair because I was not walking the country then....
Those are the top ten questions I have been asked on this 8 month trekk. I am not supposing that the questions will change much, and I am going to more than likely add another pair of shoes, or two, to the list before it is all over.
Adieu!
