The Quay County Sun of Tucumcari, N.M., has a story about Dennis Kinch, the man who’s walking Route 66 to raise awareness for the National Pain Foundation.
There’s this interesting excerpt about his recent trek from Amarillo to Tucumcari:
… Kinch said one enlightened moment happened just last week, when he realized he was at the midpoint of his walk on his 51st birthday. He said he actually forgot his birthday until he reached the Texas-New Mexico border — at 12:50 a.m.
“I looked at my watch and said ‘Oh no, I ain’t gonna make it’ because I thought I just missed having my birthday fall on the exact day I hit the midpoint of my walk.
