-July 13th-
Walking in Nebraska heat and Humidity puts a heavy tax on my footsteps. A hot sun, high humidity, and no air movement leaves me thoroughly drained at days end. I am usually soaked in sweat by 10 am The southwest deserts and the dry high country of New Mexico and Colorado are but a memory. In Nebraska sweat refuses to give me up. I didn’t realize my body could sweat like it is … what a machine! My drenched body will make chafing, blisters, and heat rash new concerns for my attention.I cant have anything take me off the road. I am on a tight schedule if I have any chance of making it to the Peoples climate march in New York on September 21st.
The distance between this lone marcher and his Climate march compadres continues to grow. I guesstimate we are now 150 miles apart.
