Where in the world is Gary?

Posted: Wednesday, September 02, 2009

In his latest adventure to raise funds for Kinship Partners, Gary Walters and his son, Jackson, are Rollerblading to Washington, D.C.

Check out his progress through Monday: The Walters last day in Ohio was cold but featured good in-line skating on bike trails and back roads.

Miles traveled: 51 miles.

Total miles traveled: 853 miles.

Total funds raised: $9,060.

Daily destination reached: Near the border of Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Mile musings: "Today's highlight was Jackson and a stick. He at some point in the early morning grabbed a low hanging branch. He kept this stick throughout almost the whole day and over 40 miles. After watching him with his stick, I realized Christmas will be a bit simpler and less expensive this year. I just need to get a stick from the woods before the hard winter sets in. And at the rate of cold in August, winter may be here before October."
