From Stuttgart, Germany to Chattanooga, Scaughdt, the Numinous Nomad, embarked on his 6th Peace Pilgrimage - leaving Tennessee in the last days of August "to potentially get more folks to Go Vegan". Walking along America's state highways, never asking anyone for food or shelter, carrying neither personal ID, phone, computer, rain-gear, sleeping bag, money (neither accepting any money), and fasting until offered (vegan) food, this trek demonstrates his faith in consistent compassion & radical kindness.
