Wikipedia says that Pomona was the Roman goddess of fruit trees, that they used to grow apples around this area, and that the local post office has been operating since 1895. Google Maps shows a dollar store and a Baptist church.
That's about it for Pomona, MO, population 440.
The map I posted is kind of small, but the US is a big place, and I have walked a long way (the blue line), and I have a long way to go. I am almost two-thirds of the way, but not quite. That will happen at 4,666,667 steps, in seven or eight days.
After a shaky October, my walking has gotten back on track in November - over 10,000 steps every day, over 11,000 average. Arlo and I have a new morning route that puts me in good shape to hit my goals each day.
Pomona will be my last stop in Missouri, which I entered back in week 49. From here, I will cruise through Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi in the next two months. I like it when I pass through states quickly - it feels like progress. Also, trying to say something about a place like Alabama for eight weeks in a row can be a challenge, but I will persevere.
