Well here we are a bit disorganized but ready to walk. David and Dalton have discussed and planned the second leg as an event that will be flexible and some periodic "winging it". We are excited and ready to get started. We are hearing weather forecast as some possibility of rain as we are starting our walk on Saturday afternoon in Evergreen where First Leg ended. It may be raining but our spirits are not dampened at all!
We may be "winging this segment" but we have defined our main purpose now for the walk. David has written a Letter with the full definition and how you can help. Please read that post very carefully.
You will now begin to hear us talk about "Grace Place". David and I were both blessed with Wonderful, Christian Parents. Therefore our walk is now in Memory of David and Lena Mae Campbell, Morris Bass, and in Honor of Pat Bass. "Grace Place" is an orphanage in Mexico that gives children a chance as if they had Parents such as mine and David's. Your financial support can help with the ongoing operation of the orphanage.
If I can remember how there will be some pictures posted here and as another post.
