WELCOME TO THE LONGEST WALK 2008 WEBSITE

This site is several week in the making so I would like to welcome you & thank you for visiting. This is the personal chronicling of the Longest Walk 2008 Northern Route by Chris Wintercount Teves. It has been hard to find the time to get this blog up and going but I hope that you will enjoy it. Many photographes and stories will be added in the coming weeks going as far back as Pueblo, Colorado. Please also visit the Offical Longest Walk Website and Brenda Norrell's Blogspot site for more information on the walk.
