Day 8, Apr 6th, 2008 - Pennsylvania






























Rainy, that is how we can describe today. We took off from where we left off yesterday, Independence Blvd on Route 1 and headed towards the Maryland border. We walked about 10 miles before being stopped by a state trooper. He told us we could not walk on Route 1 on the strip of it that we were on. He said that we would have to pass through the town of Avondale and than get back on Route 1. We did this and than were pulled over by another state trooper. He told us the same thing, we explained to him the situation and he gave us an alternate route to Baltimore. The route turned out to be wrong so we headed back to Barry's studio in Willmington at about 4:00. From Barry's we figured out that we will be taking Route 40 all the way to Baltimore. Dinner time came and we were treated to a great meal paid for by Mr. Tenzin Kunkhen and Ms. Yu Liaoya. Thank you both so much for the excellent dinner and your support. Again we would like to give a huge thank you to Barry for letting us use his studio for shelter, computers, everything without question. He also made some calls to the State Police for us to help us out on our walk. Thanks again Barry for the help.

Mikell,
I am happy to see that you are all healthy and look well fed. I was indeed unhappy to hear of the state troopers pulling you over and telling you that a new walking route was necessary.I'm sure you are all pretty weary by now.Hopefully your new walking path will take you smoothly to Washington. Keep up the good work. Love to all.
