Wonder where he goes to take a shower/bath, and where is Roanoke, Louisiana?
DUH...!
I just love reality, especially when it smacks you back into it after you forgot your brain 3 years earlier in Tucson!
Gee whiz. I really don't see where all the hostility is coming from for this guy? I didn't read anything implying he thinks he is a victim.
He isn't hurting anyone and isn't asking for government handouts. I've seen a lot of posts supporting peoples' expression of faith; why is this guy thrown under the bus?
Probably McDonald's restrooms LOL!
It brings new meaning to the song "Walk a Mile in My Shoes"...
LOL!

"My doctor told me to walk 10 miles a day. Ten years later I call him. 'Doc, I'm 12,000 miles away!'"
Well i say, God bless him. Article is kinda misnamed. He plans to walk for 10 years and is finishing up his third. But he is not bothering anybody. And he is meeting people and going to over 1,000 Church of the Brethren's. So God Bless him.
This guy seems to be a little "wacky". I mean, I could see this trek if he was trying to visit all the Burger Kings in the country.
Miles to date: 12,974
Next stop: Falfurrias, Texas
Money picked up along road: $910.27

Run Forrest, Run!!!!
LOL
I've always pictured El Paso to Texarcana but:
Either El Paso to Orange or Dalhart to Brownsville would be a respectable strolls.
I guess not many folks are going to pick up on that one, but I will.
It is not for nothing that no other state has this bumper sticker which you see everywhere in Texas:
TEXAS! I wasn't born here, but I move here as fast as I could!"
That's not very fast.
It sounds like this man may not be quite in his right mind. What is the "Church of the Brethren" anyway?
