Across the Prairie

Starting on May 5, 1983, Vicky Foth and I walked for the next eighty days across Kansas and eastern Colorado, from the mouth of the Kansas River in Kansas City to the foothills of the Rocky Mountains south of Denver. We walked 690 miles, averaging about 10 miles a day, traveling parallel to the Santa Fe and Smoky Hills trails by following county roads that were usually unpaved, or going cross-country through areas of rangeland.”
