Walking a mile, or more, each morning was a recent resolve. Curiosity prompted me to check how many steps equal one mile. For me, three thousand, two hundred steps. So how many miles have I walked since we started the Walk Across America project twenty-two weeks ago? To my extreme disappointment, I’ve only walked one hundred fourteen miles.

Last May, our Nurse Practitioner initiated a walking program for CARE residents and interested others in the adjacent Rainbow’s End Escapee RV Park. In total, the group has walked across the United States and up the West coast into the state of Oregon. Pretty impressive, IMHO, but sad to realize how small my contribution.
