Periodically, there are those who walk the full length of Route 66 for a cause or to challenge themselves.
The latest is Joe Zeno, who is walking from San Diego to New York City to raise money for the American Cancer Society. His mother has fought breast cancer for a decade.
The Tulsa World caught up with him as he was strolling through town Wednesday, which reportedly was the midpoint of his journey. His path follows Route 66 from Amarillo to St. Louis.
It’s worth reading, especially about his close call with a mountain lion near Oklahoma City.
