I tried to cover 50 to 60 miles a day with camping nearly every night. Carried only enough water and food to get me to the next point of supply.

I'm glad you decided to do this. Did you know that actor Robert Horton did the same thing when he signed up to make the TV show "Wagon Train". He then wrote a complete history of his character "Flint McCullough" who was the scout for the wagon train. He gave this to the writers. He felt this would help make the show more realistic. Keep up the great things you are doing. I am disabled and KZitem is my way of seeing the world.

I passed a strange party along the way, they were just hunkered down off the side of the road, eating something and growling. I didn't stop, it didn't exactly look like a Grey Poupon moment. Well, I'm off, I guess after this one I'll be headed someplace back towards the middle of the country.
