Chris West is on a journey to Oregon, and stopped in Pineville. In an article to WYMT he refers to this voyage as “the odyssey.” He is walking from his hometown in Newport, North Carolina to Newport, Oregon, the only possessions he’s carrying are a jogging stroller. He says the trip is part of his recovery from anxiety and depression issues he had struggled with in the previous year. He says he plans to donate his proceeds to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America.
