They can be upwards of 240 miles inland in four days

Not walking. Now if they can catch rides, etc. that’s another
thing. A military march step will get you about four miles in
an hour. Breaks, water, poop, pee, eat, sleep......

Me, when I was young.

We had an event in Edmonton, called “Miles for Millions.” It was a 30km walk and my father took me out to get pledges. People were pledging $1/km, because they thought I would only walk 5km or something and then quit.

My father had to warn them to not do that because I would walk the whole thing with ease and still had a lot of energy to spare.

In my job as security, there are sites where I routinely have walked 30 miles and it’s never been a problem for me.

A lot of people stay because they don’t want to leave their pets behind.

“I hope he is doing well. We really need people like this they are few and far to find.”

You said it. He stepped up to the plate when most people wouldn’t have.

Have a great weekend, FRiend! :)

Even if they just paced themselves, walk for an hour and rest for an hour. One guy I read about walked 1,000 miles in 40 days on a bet, back at the turn of the century.

Hope you have lots of fun and laughter, where you can find it, this weekend, FRiend!

DeSantis is only two states over, and Abbott is next door to Louisiana so those are the two logical choices.

I’m one of those guys that can just keep walking. If you’ve ever seen a movie of somebody who is absolutely frightened that he is being followed, but he can’t see what it is but it has been following him for days and he’s freaking.

I’m the reason for the freak-out. :D

Thanks. Florida was a childhood stomping ground. We know lots of people there including a number of FReepers.

Did he go to prison for something related to Katrina? In a weird sense, I hope so. Otherwise, that’s not good.

Sorry to hear about Mrs. Blanco. Cancer is a terrible disease; I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.

Thank you for the information!

Have a good weekend, FRiend. :)

You as well.

These days, you don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

30 miles in one day is not 60 miles a day for four days in a row.

That's what I like, a man who has his priorities straight.
