Rappahannock Neva Staff Writer
Hans Mullikin is spending the week touring Rappahannock but much of the county's lovely autumn scenery will be wasted on him. Mullikin spends most of his time on his hands and knees, crawling along Rappahannock’s roads as part of his effort to dramatize what he sees as the need for prayer and greater reliance on God on the part of this country.
Mullikin, a logger and lay minister in the Southern Baptist church, began his pilgrimage two years ago in Marshall, Texas. He started crawling in March, 1976, heading for Washington, D.C. He made it to Radford last November before abandoning the trek for the winter and didn’t resume his crawl over the mountains until August.
“I hope to make D.C. before the cold weather sets in." said Mullikin. If everything goes according to plan, he'll be met by his Congressional representative at the Capital in about six weeks. Mullikin said he'd also like the opportunity to shake hands with President Carter but added that he knew the President was a busy man and might not have the time.
During his crawl across country, Mullikin said he’d been subjected to only a little harassment. He had problems in Rappahannock—not with verbal taunts or sticks and stones
