Crossbearer's Log:
Started walking at 7:17 A.M. and finished walking four hours and fifteen minutes later.
Today consisted of walking Highway 50...all day. Most of my thirteen miles was through the Fallon Naval Air Base, which meant jets flying overhead. There was a long climb at the beginning of the walk, but the rest of the way was downhill or flat. Tomorrow it looks like I will be starting with an uphill climb of about five miles.
When we got back to Fallon, we walked down Maine Street (Historic and Downtown). In one of the stores, a lady named Julie gave me a mug that reads, "I Survived Highway 50."I still have about twenty-three miles on Highway 50 before it's true, but I am optimistic.
Highway 50 was given its name by Life magazine in July of 1966 -- America's Loneliest Highway. I concur.Daily Distance: 13 miles
