Can I sack out on your porch, on the sofa, or in your barn?
Posted by admin in History, tags: Ancestral Home, Hardin County, Maggie Valley, Porch, Red River Gorge KentuckyToday I have decided this trek, “Homecoming America 2006.” — decided on the evening of Odin’s Day, the nine and twentieth of Eleventh Month, 2006.
This will be my Homecoming, the first one since 2003 when I came back from Iraq.
I don’t think I even went back then. I think my mind was still in Iraq.
I will walk all the way from Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia, to Athens, then to Asheville, North Carolina; then to the Cherokee communities south of Maggie Valley, then to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee; then to Red River Gorge, Kentucky, then to my ancestral home in Elizabethton, Hardin County, then to the ferry that crosses the Ohio River, then to Springfield, then to Galesburg, once home of Carl Sandburg and Edgar Lee Masters.
I will take one small tent, one blanket, one spare pair of boots, extra socks, underwear, one change of jeans, one pair of sweats, a hat, some drinking water in a camelback, some fire, and a good knife, and a copy of the Koran.
