Dennis Kinch, the spokesman for the National Pain Foundation who is walking the length of Route 66 as part of an awareness-raising campaign, has reached Vega, Texas, home of the Vega Motel and Dot’s Mini-Museum.
According to his Web site, Kinch has walked 1,124 miles. He should hit the halfway point of Route 66 in a day or so. Hope he stops for a slice of pie at the Midpoint Cafe while he’s out there.
