Gronk happy!

He sent this self portrait on May 31. It was titled, "Having fun so far today!"

I heard from him for about one minute on Monday, as he had one bubble for a signal but only 40% battery left on his phone. He hopes to charge the phone on Wednesday at a store where he plans to resupply with food, and then keep hiking for Pearisburg VA, where he will then take a room and wash up and rest.

I am pretty sure by now, he has completed 500 miles, even taking into account the 75 that he missed. With that in mind:

      That's odd - I thought things were only blocked in Canada! It's just the Proclaimers' song "I would Walk 500 Miles." Just for fun.
