Okay, back to the newspaper article.
The ragtag group arrived at Ruidoso, New Mexico and then left the next day on their walk across the United States. They started on February 25 at the Cubs spring training base at Mesa, Arizona.
The goal is to arrive at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Memorial Day weekend to complete their 1,900 mile hike. Hopefully, their goat will be allowed inside.
They are in their 20s and 30s, except for a 5-month old goat they purchased in Phoenix and they have a two-fold purpose.
One is to reverse the Curse of the Billy Goat, a plague that had kept the Cubs out of the World Series for 60 years (every Cub fan knows that). The other reason is to raise money for the Fred Hutchinson Cancer research Center in Seattle.
Let the Goat In. --RoadGoat
