Country Rush Hour, the Rhythm of the Roads.

This morning we took our time getting started both for the traffic and the rain. When we rolled-out, the little traffic on the road went the speed limit and for the most part we were able to dip and dodge on and off the narrow way with little problem. When we made the few miles to town we had lunch, and Nice (the dog) was right at home on the porch of the country store with folks stepping over him as he slept. After walking awhile further it is now time for the busy city folk to go blasting by the picturesque scenery. So, I have taken a seat on a large stone at the end of a drive to wait. I can tolerate the noise of the cars blasting homeward much more than they can if they were to have to take their foot off the gas pedal or --god forbid-- use the brake pedal. Dinner may get cold!!!

My son and I were driving down Rt. 30 and we passed you!!! You are amazing!!! I so much wanted to stop and talk to you and meet Nice, but my son was sick and I was taking him to the doctor. I'm so glad I found you on the internet so I could see who you are. :)
Have a wonderful walk!!!

I saw you on your way to Hampstead, MD! I was on my way home from work, on my cell talking to my sister and spotted you and Nice. I wasn't quite sure at first what to make of you and was trying to tell my sister what I was seeing and she finished my sentence; she had seen you earlier in Westminster. You are amazing! I will apologize for the cops; I read about your contact with Carroll County's finest and let's just say IT'S A SMALL COUNTY!! Glad you didn't listen to them about not traveling the road or I wouldn't have seen you! Best of luck to you and Nice!

May 5th - Bel Air, MD. Saw you as I was on my way to my Bible study in Bel Air. I had no idea who you were so I went online when I got home. - I'm sending a donation and wish I'd been able to stop . . traffic was heavy and you were on the other side of the road. I hope you have a good place to sleep. . . I'm praying you do!
God bless you and 'Nice' the dog . . I am in awe of your journey.

My daughter and I saw you on Route 152 in Fallston at Savory Market. Thanks so much for taking the time to chat with us and letting us take pictures! It is quite an amazing feet! This quote from Dr. Seuss suits you and Nice perfectly: "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." from The Lorax. Thanks for CARING! Leigh Ann
