Today was a day of first. Starting at the Circle K, where we stopped yesterday, John and I walked about an hour and celebrated our first 100 miles. We clanked our water bottles together as a toast. Then after climbing a really steep hill and reaching the top, we were greeted by a reporter from the Hi-Desert Star. Our first interview. She asked a few questions and snapped our photo and then left to interview Carol and Ruth back at the RV park. She was still there when John and I arrived. John showered and cleaned up as he was to attend the local Rotary Club meeting. The reporter was Rebecca Unger, and she was a sweet as can be. She was genuinely interested in our walk and in Habitat. She took a photo of Ruth, Carol and Jolie Blonde and of our highway junk. Our article should be in tomorrows paper.

I put 16.2 miles on my New Balance 882. Stay tuned …
