She Went On Walkabout, That's All

56-year-old Wilma Edwards of Fayetteville, NC, was declared a missing person in September has turned up in Richmond, Virginia.

Apparently she is an avid walker, and on a previous occasion walked all the way to New York. Her trademark is apparently a white bucket that she carries around with her and sits on when she is tired of walking.

No more details to the story than that. Did she ask people for assistance when it came time to sleep? Where did she eat? Did she work as she went along? Do odd jobs to pay for meals, etc.?

Is she related to Forrest Gump?

Well, at least she didn't climb into the wheel well of a jet liner flying to Boston.

@TOTWTYTR: I can't imagine climbing into the wheel well of an airliner. At least without lots of duct tape and rope.
