The walk started at the Suspension Bridge
in Indian Springs Park, Waco, Texas.  We
had separate registration for the Habitat
Fund Raising Walkers and the Volksmarchers.

We had an abundance of fruit and
a tub of ice with cans of water.

The walk route looped around our checkpoint.
These walkers are on their way back in.

at our checkpoint.

These guys are not volksmarchers, but
I hope they enjoyed the walk so much they
come to other events.

Birthday Girl

The third lady from the left was celebrating
her 69th birthday by doing this walk.  She has
been on the Habitat Board of Directors for eight years.

Arlene talking to a group from Tarrant County
Walkers.  We got great support from the Mettoplex
due in part to the Tarrant County Walkers 20th
Anniversary Patch.  Thanks to everyone who came.

Mascots

Bull and Precious.  The Waco mascots went home with
Anna.  She will be taking them to Convention with her
where they will help greet visitors to the TVA booth.

Club Members

Two of our club members stopped to rest and chat awhile.
I was trying to convince them that one of them should run
for club secretary in June.

These are some more of our supporters from the Metroplex.
They were the last group to come through.

Soda

We didn't have many walkers partake of our soda water
offerings, but a lot of curious onlookers and tourists
visiting the suspension bridge took advange of it.  Thanks
to Big Red for this donation.

The Finish

The finish workers socializing.  All that is left to
do is pack it all up.
