The Walk, 2022
Carson City, Nevada to Terre Haute, Indiana, on foot, for freedom.
The story
On July 2, 2022, Ron “Grey Wolf” Coleman stood on the steps of the Nevada State Capitol in Carson City and started walking east.
He walked for one reason: to end the COVID emergency and to push Congress to amend the National Emergencies Act, so that no emergency declaration could ever again run on without limits over the freedoms of the American people.
His route followed the old Pony Express trail along US-50, the “Loneliest Road in America,” across Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Nebraska, Missouri, and Illinois. He was never alone. Tom, known to everyone as “Mr. T,” drove support. Abby the dog kept watch. Home every night was a 1967 Beechwood RV the crew called “Beechy.”
Mile by mile, town by town, Americans came out to walk alongside him, share a meal, wave a flag, or simply say thank you.
In November 2022, at Terre Haute, Indiana, the walk came to an end. Ron needed surgery, and the body that had carried him across seven states had to rest. But the walk did what it set out to do: it carried a message of liberty across the heart of the country, one step at a time.
This site is the archive of that journey. Thank you to everyone who walked, prayed, gave, and believed.

Where Ron is now
The walk ended, but the mission didn’t. Ron keeps carrying the message of liberty, now with a pen.
Since the walk, he has written two books. An American Patriot’s Journey tells his story, and its whole second half is about the Grey Wolf Walk itself. His second, Liberty & the Ink Well, is a conversation-style history of the Declaration, Constitution and Bill of Rights for anyone who wants to brush up on civics, and a great fit for teens and homeschoolers too.
