Taking A Walk

by Dwayne Phillips

People ask me the title question. This is short for

Have you done any more walking?

Similar question I am asked are

Are you still walking?

When you going walking again?

The answer is always the same,

No (with a smile)

Walking from Reston, Virginia down to Louisiana was fun – a lot of fun. I would like to walk US route 51 from New Orleans to Chicago. I would like to walk US route 50 from the coast of Maryland to California (3,000 miles). The 3,000-mile walk would take about six months and cost some $20,000. I suppose I could do that. But, I’ve done a long walk, so maybe I should try to do something else instead.
