Episode #405 - Clark L Ward (Wild Coyote)

Clark L Ward is our guest this week. Clark is a Native American and, while his hike was important to him, it was the story he was sharing with hikers along the way that made his hike so meaningful for him. Clark carried an orange flag that he got people to pose with at every opportunity along the way. Naturally, it accompanied him to Katahdin. His cause was Every Child Matters and all parents will feel empathy for the children involved. Clark sent me several links–below–that will amplify the message.

This week, we talk just 40 miles north of her ultimate destination–her Katahdin–at Harpers Ferry. She's ready to be done and get her reward for the grit and determination she's showed. Can't wait to hear from her at the end. If you'd like to find out more about "Then The Hail Came," check out George's website at https://georgesteffanos.webador.com/ .
