This just for the novelty of it: Dunja Lingwood, 56, of Anacortes, WA, is walking from the far, far west coast to New York on a cause for peace.
According to the article on GoAnacortes.com, "She said “Retirement should mean, not a cessation of activity, but a change of activity with a more complete giving of your life to service.”
"dunja plans to walk 12 miles a day, making her way down Whidbey Island first and eventually getting to the Pacific Coast and Highway 101.
By word of mouth, she has lined up people to stay with in Oak Harbor, Port Townsend, Seattle and other cities in the Northwest."
