Camino Training
As Msgr. Goering has posted, we have been training in the last several months to get prepared for this long peregrination! We have done many hikes with each other as well as various sojourns on our own. Among the recent solo trips, I walked along the Red River using river paths on both sides. I happily discovered a piece of local history when coming upon the Bergquist Cabin (built in 1872) in Homestead Park in Moorhead. It was a great reminder of the history of other "pilgrims" who came out to lands and settled to provide a good life for their families. On another longer trek, I explored Buffalo State Park in great weather and surrounded by the gift of God's creation. No better artist around! I am confident we will experience great vistas on the Camino. Finally, here is a map of where we will be walking. We start in Oviedo and end in Santiago de Compostela. It should be amazing!
