Colona, IL. There was a major snow storm that recently hit the area and I of course was wiskfully walking through it without a second thought. During that walk (from Geneseo, IL to Davenport, IA about 30 miles) I managed to get an interview with the lovely Johnna Klossing of the local KWQC news station during the actual storm.

She was kind enough to bring me hot cocoa and snacks to keep me going. I'm honored to be Johnna's last story before she switches her profession to education. I wish her much luck! The link to the video is below, skip to 18:54 to see my segment.

Mt. Gilead, OH. Along my journey I got the pleasure of meeting with and hanging out with a very charming reporter/traveler/motorcyclist/everything woman, Taylor.

She interviewed me for an article that will appear in the Morrow County newspaper, I believe this week. After telling her I was going to camp out in the state park, she later found someone that would put me up for the night -- how cool is that!

After spending time with Taylor, her plans for the future make me so excited for her! She has a lot to offer the world and I believe the world has a lot of positive, fun, and uplifting experiences to offer her.

Mansfield, OH.  As I entered the city of Mansfield a gentleman starting walking alongside of me with a huge camera.  I curiously asked him what are you photographing, he said... you!  I agreed and that gentleman, Dave Polcyn, took some photos while walking to the center of town to be published in the local paper.  

That later lead to a very sweet newspaper's reporter, Lou Whitmire, wanting to do an interview over coffee at the local cafe.  The article was good overall, there are inaccuracies that may have been possibly my fault -- but the overall message was clear: I'm walking to raise money for the American Diabetes Association.
