Odyssey 2023 – Journal Entry 6

The latest from the Chisholm Trail

March 22, 2023

An update from Stripper:

Dearest friends of Nimblewill,

NImblewill has asked me to give all of you an update on his “new” journey. Today Bart reached

Bowie, TX.

Here is Barry displaying what the Bowie name is famous for.

While riding in a van being part of the support team was not Nimblewill’s idea of the

best hike; however, he is making the most of what he’s been dealt. As a long-distance hiker,

Nimblewill, of all people knows how to adjust to the conditions and just do what you gotta do to

keep moving forward. And, that’s exactly what he’s doing.

On Sunday Nimblewill was able to watch (while on his crutches) a reenactment of the old

longhorn ca+le drive at the stockyards in Fort Worth, TX. I think he had a fantastic time

watching that!

Tuesday Bart was heading up to Indian Territory in Oklahoma and Barry was busy setting up

camp while Nimblewill was chillin’ at the camp store drinking Shiner Bock.

Luckily, Nimblewill is actually doing what he is supposed to do and taking it easy, taking his pain

meds, and doing his best to keep off his feet. Y’all know just how hard that is for him! So please

continue to hold him up in your thoughts and prayers and continue to send some good healing

vibes his way. Despite the pain and disappointment, Nimblewill is really enjoying his new

journey and he knows how much he is loved, thought of and prayed for.
