Dave Stewart’s feet are beginning to feel the wear. The Gillette man is attempting to walk the 1,600 miles to Nashville, Tennessee to promote himself and the country-western songs he writes. He left on his cross-country journey on April 30, heading toward Wright and Douglas. On Thursday, Stewart reached Douglas, where he was the focus of a reception and the object of questions from television, radio and newspaper reporters.
