We'd only run 15 seconds when Stark stopped, eagerly pointing out ... He also started
running barefoot and in sandals, like the ones he wore on ...
Stark took this photo of his friends during a “persistence hunt” in the Red Desert of Wyoming in 2011. Left to right, back row: “Barefoot Ted” McDonald, Dennis Shaver, Scott Smuin, “Caveman” John Durant, Patrick Sweeney, Bookis Smuin. Front: Ulrich Honighausen.

My Posterity Footprint
I leave my footprint for you to see
the damage that shoes did to me.
My foot is no longer nice and wide
but narrow and cramped in shoes they hide.
No longer are my feet healthy and free
but diseased and sick, they bother me.
Take this as a lesson, so you may too
not be fooled into thinking shoes rule.
This is what society did to me.
I leave my footprint for the world to see. ~me
