Find contentment and making friends goal of walkers

Torin and Paige Rouse are walking 12,000 miles across all 50 states, setting the example that with the right perspective you can find contentment in nearly any circumstance and make friends with almost anybody.

They, with their dog Jak, have walked in 24 states. They are in the process of finishing their walk through South and North Dakota. They are planning to cover 400 miles in the Dakotas. Last week they were in Edmunds County.

They push carts, allowing Jak a spot for a ride at times.
