May1st, 2002 Rick, Pat and Jill stood at the Mexican/US border. With 13 years
of dreaming, 7 months of planning and 1100 meals prepared and packed into 30
food boxes, they began their 4300 Km walk back to Canada. Over the next 5
months they would walk through California, Oregon and Washington encountering
40-degree baron desert, 55 Km stretches with no water, attacking bears and
killer mosquitoes. They would climb the equivalent of Mount Everest while
venturing through the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. While crossing
Oregon they would walk around Crater Lake, Mount Thielsen and over Mount Hood.
With Washington State standing between them and home, it was a climb over the
Cascade Mountains passing through Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams and Mount
Rainier. After walking through spring, summer and then into fall, signs of
winter would welcome them to Manning Park and mark the end of "A Walk to
Remember".
