He’s done with the seventh leg of his journey.
He left Holland behind, walked along the Lake Michigan Coast to Grand Haven and has crossed the Bridge over Spring Lake on US-31. For much of his walk today he was on a bike path and also crossed some nature reserves and paused to enjoy wetlands.
From my own experience, crossing the bridge in Grand Haven means I’m almost at Owasippe, that my journey is coming to an end. The same is true for G-Dawg’s Trek, he’s followed a similar path to the familiar one which so many have followed from Chicago to Twin Lake, but his experience is unlike any other. In the history of Owasippe, Scouts have come from the Chicago in nearly every way possible(boat, train, bus and car), but as far as we know this is the only time someone has made the trip on foot. It has taken much much longer than the four or five hours most of us take as we make the drive, yet in some ways it has passed very quickly. He still has another day of walking before he makes the final approach to Owasippe, I can only imagine the anticipation he’s feeling along with the sense of accomplishment of coming so far.
His cumulative total is 161 miles.
