Hitchin’ It Back to Sanderson

SANDERSON, TEXAS — It first looked like hitchhiking back to Sanderson from Roswell would be a nightmare. In the first 51-hour period, I’d traversed a mere 80 miles. Hitchhiking in today’s day and age, and especially a guy with a 125 lb. wagon, what should one expect? Things were looking mighty, mighty grim.   The mood slowly [...]

Saying Goodbye at Rivers of Life in Roswell

ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO — On the day I left Roswell after hitting the 1,000 mile walking mark, David, Eddie and Daniel were kind enough to pose for this candid moment outside one of the Rivers of Life homes. Thanks, you guys! for all your kindness and good spirit, and that “Good night, Jim Bob” type [...]

Back to the Future

ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO — This 2nd Leg from San Antonio, Texas “To Roswell & Beyond!” is basically complete. Altogether, so far with this leg plus the journey partway down the Mississippi valley area last fall, I’ve logged 1,000 miles walking — that’s right around 1,924,000 footsteps! — pulling the “friggin’” wagon.   For now I will be returning to [...]

Rivers of Life Ministry

ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO — Some half-a-dozen years ago Sister Stella (I’m still trying to get her pix!) received one profoundly simple but far-reaching spiritual message: Reach out to people in need.  One person, one vision. 

Artist-In-Residence @ Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art

ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO –Imagine…you’re born with the need to create…you’re an artist…you’ve done good work…and you’re wishing upon a star as most artists do for: If only I could have a window of TIME to really dive into what it is I need to create… 

A Visitors’ Welcome

ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO — I met up with Suzy and “Bob” and Emily (not pictured) for the inside scoop of the alien phenomenon in Roswell at the visitors’ center.  All (not surprisingly!) were true believers in the alien Roswell phenomenon. Emily said it was simple: “Hey, if we’re capable of being here, who’s to say [...]

Just for Fun: Quik Hippie Chicks Expose

ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO — Some of you “in the know” who know me will get a kick out of these photos, as I say now and again that once I do finally settle down, I hope it will be with a “Hippie Chick” sort of girl (of course my age) with the sunlight or moonlight [...]

“Tree of Knowledge” Right On!

ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO –Last night, my first night in Roswell, I slept nine hours straight through–unbelievable!–at the mens’ shelter, Rivers of Life. Breakfast was Rice Krispies and Kix cereals, at seven this morning. Devotions, required, was at nine. Afterward I went to the library where I found the “Knowledge Tree,” on the way in to update the blog.

Have Made Contact: Roswell, New Mexico

 ROSWELL, NEW MEXICO — Aliens abound, peering at you from within every nook and corner along Main Street. This should be an unconventional experience, just what I like…

On the Threshold of A Thousand Miles Walked

 The Final 40 Miles to Roswell: Since Septmember of 2010 when the “Train” departed from Madison, Wisconsin, I calculate the LRWT journey will reach just about 1,ooo miles walking, with an additional 165 miles in rides, when arriving in Roswell. ARTESIA TO ROSWELL, NM — 4/13-14 – After weathering the storms of the evening before, I packed up [...]
