Just got home from the search. OH my goodness - is that ever hard work but so rewarding to put feet on the ground.
I now get why you wear long sleeves and pants! I brought the long sleeve shirt but didn't put it on - but should have! Our group was walking in brush up over our heads at times.
Very rewarding experience despite the somber nature of why you are there. I am really mad at how many people dump crap -- when you do a search like this, you see how little regard members of society have for the land we have been blessed to live on.
Since I can't tell you anymore - I will tell you that I spoke with Tim Miller to thank him for all he does and he gave me a big ole' Texas hug!!!!!!!!!! What a warm man, with eyes that show a soul that has seen pain, but is humble, warm, honest and just good people. (Yes, I 'read' eyes - they are truly the pathway to the soul!)
Everyone I met was truly amazing - even where I stopped for dinner on the way home. There were signs up everywhere and at this Skyline (where I took a mini bath! LOL) there were several fliers up and the gal who rang me out, her little sister knows Katelyn's little sis and the worry in her eyes will haunt me. She adores Katelyn and her baby sis and she said the family is protecting her as they are terrified and worried sick. It was humbling to speak to someone who knows the family and to see the heartbreak and worry. Very motivating to go back again as soon as I drench my body in Ben-Gay.
Anyway, did I mention Tim gave me a big ole' Texas hug?!?! :great:
