Wednesday, May 12th

Today was a big day for the Coast to Coast Walk. After walking 2 miles, John delivered Carol out to marker 397 as she wanted to walk through downtown Elida. Before long were in Elida and there was John and Ruth cheering us on from the back of their pickup. We looked around for other folks wanting to join in the celebration, but didn't seem to see any. Maybe they only have parades on Friday.

This afternoon, we packed up again and moved to Portales, NM, our home for the next 6 days. They have a Sonic and a Wal-Mart, what more could a person ask for.

We walked to marker 405, found a coffee cup, a dime, a penny and a Mexican 10 centavo coin. Carol said this makes the Coast to Coast Walk a true multi-cultural event. Stay tuned ......
