Here was the plan for Day Twelve

Thank you @hancockjason0702 for my first interview about walking to Niigata!

Starting April 13th 2021, I plan to walk from my house in Kawasaki to Niigata station, 300 kilometers away!

The trip should be doable: 300km over 3 weeks = less than 15km per day.

The start date is (still / only) a few months away and my brain has been swamped with ideas,plans,complications,fears,etc so in order to simplify all of that, I will just say

Hey! Come join me for any part of my journey walking to Niigata!

Share with your friends as I want to meet as many people as possible along the way!

I’ve found several neat places I want to visit; do you know of others along this route?

If you cannot join during the actual walk, thank you for supporting my GoFundMe campaign for this walk. (link coming soon!)

Visit my webpage https://www.robnugen.com/quests/ for the latest updates, including a map of the plan so far.

These are my planned rest stops along the way, so please forward to your friends who live in the route. Maybe we can meet along the way to enjoy a cup of tea!

No one knows what will happen while walking from Kawasaki to Niigata so the planned points certainly may change!

Thank you Jason and everyone for your support! I look forward to seeing you on the walk!
