Beautiful Morning in County X (Alyssa’s Blog)
This morning I was greeted by a green field and sun streaming through the trees - what a pleasant contrast to the truck stops. As I sit here typing at a picnic table, I realize how much I’ve grown to delight in, and respect, the men I am walking with. They have great minds and hearts, and I am going to miss them.
Yesterday’s highlights include Jim’s “Itten ditten little kitten …” skat, and our attempts to learn it; beautiful views, a bull scrimmage, talking about favorite books, walking upon a bustling bar of bikers, and finding Dave and Karen at Latigo and Lace. Our message is solid and it resonates with the people in county X. The citizens here have encouraged us with their political activism and involvement; we met two individuals who ran for the senate. Hopefully we’ve encouraged them as well.
All is well; walking with men of truth and conviction blesses me deeply.

Nice to hear from “the girl” !
I wish you had gone into a bit more detail on the bull and kitten thing, but it sounds like you are having fun, so that is important! I do not know if you are promoting the C4L, and it may be hard with so much RP stuff in there, but somehow it may be good to find a way to let these people know that there is a place we can be together and HELP with some of those political dreams, maybe.
Anyway, prepare for blisters and continue to enjoy!
