Meet 'Walk For Liberty' at the NH Border

[cynthia]

I keep telling as many people as I'm able about your walk.. We should have a parade assembled to accompany you by the time you get 2/3 through NH!  You don't mind, do you?

Stopped today in Seneca Falls, NY.

BTW, our RV broke down.  It's stuck in the repair shop for the weekend, but thanks to the generosity of a local Ron Paul-supporting couple, I'm going to continue walking.  We're still intending to get to NH by Dec 6.

That's great Will.  Hang in there and GO GO GO, You're almost home!

the walking must be brutal ... it is freezing out there

Once you get going you hardly notice. You may even get so warm you have to take off layers. When I was out hiking earlier this year I'd be down to my base layer (thin polypro shirt) as low as 35 degrees.

I just picked up a warm scarf at Wal-mart for $5. It's nice for protecting your face from wind and stuph. They also have long-sleeve t-shirts for like $8 that you can layer with other stuph or thermal shirts for $10. Fancier thermal shirts from from about $15 to $17. The $17 ones are like for skiing and crap in really cold weather. They're probably overkill for most people just in it for an hour or two at a time, but for walking all day long in New England weather, might be useful.

Met with Will yesterday, cool but just a little snow. Ended the day in Elbridge, NY. 6 degrees here last night.

Just an FYI on the 101 idea. What is currently 27 used to be 101. 27 parallels and criss-crosses 101 all the way from Manch to Hampton. I used to drive it all the time between Hampton and Raymond(/Deerfield) while building my house, because its a prettier drive.

So, he could walk all the way from Manch to Hampton on 27. He'd be passing probably less than a mile from the Travis place in Candia if he did.

Great idea!

I don't know if I'm too late to the Party but there's a great big house to have an "end of the road" party for Will on the Seacoast (Seabrook), 2 miles from the water that can be available if it could happen on a Fri. eve or better on Saturday (all day/night).

Not too late, sounds like a great idea!

Thanks Cynthia!  Awesome, the more people the better.   Looking forward to meeting you!

The main thing is my hands (especially my fingers)..they are very sensitive to the cold.  It doesn't help that I have to take them out of my mittens often to film...

and then there is 23 for the high

I have some bad news....our RV is worse than we first had thought.  It turns out that our transmission is completely shot (apparently due to a shoddy job by whomever had replaced the engine in it before we bought it).  So we need a new (rebuilt) one, but unfortunately it won't come in till this next Monday, Dec 1.

After much consideration, we've decided to push back our arrival date to Saturday, Dec 13.  All the other details to remain the same.

I'm really sorry about this.  I hope this doesn't screw up any plans for anyone.

I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone though, but am bummed that it's going to be a week later!

Will

[Mike Barskey]

That sucks, but mainly because of the expense. One more week won't kill you - the extra anticipation will just sweeten the reward!

I'm still in for walking with you the full distance on Dec 13. I'll see you at the border.

[dalebert]

I should still be able to be there.
