SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — Walter Masters, a resident of San Angelo, Texas, has been carrying a cross across the United States for the past 25 years.
Thursday morning, a reporter from Concho Valley Homepage saw Masters walking the streets on the south side of San Angelo.

According to Masters, he's walked across the country in 46 states while counting some serious mileage along the way.
'I've walked about 25,000 miles sharing the love of Christ everywhere we go,' said Masters.
Masters said he's walked into the San Angelo Rodeo Parade and that God had called him to stay and focus on San Angelo and the surrounding cities.

Masters makes the crosses he carries. When it comes to the cross he carries, he said it weighs about 35 pounds, but it is nowhere near the level Jesus had to carry; however, his cross serves as a reminder.
'I pray if they don't stop, that they are reminded of Christ because that's all that matters, not me,' said Masters.
Masters noted that his journey with the cross was taking him through San Angelo as he made his way to Bronte, Texas, nearly 34 miles from San Angelo.

Foley National Guard members to deploy to Egypt

FOLEY, Ala. (WKRG) — Several members of a National Guard unit based out of Foley are preparing to deploy to the Middle East. Approximately 200 soldiers will deploy under the 1st Battalion of the 173rd Infantry Regiment. In Foley, about 85 members of C company prepared their gear and packed their bags on Saturday. They're heading to Egypt in a month. During the year-long deployment, an Alabama National Guard spokesperson says members of the 1-173rd will support 'Multinational Force and Observers – Task Force Sinai.' Their job is to help maintain the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. Some family members came to support their relatives headed to a long deployment. 'Nervous but happy at the same time, I feel he's doing something good for his country,' one Foley Guardsman's parent, Justin Thicklin said. A spokesperson says these soldiers leave behind their civilian lives and careers for a time to help support the U.S. mission overseas. A farewell ceremony is planned for the unit in Enterprise, Alabama at the high school at 2 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 3. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Carlsbad Caverns officials uncover historic cave trash

CARLSBAD, N.M. (KRQE) – Carlsbad Caverns say they keep finding trash from decades ago, when they first opened to the public in 1923. Cavern officials say even though they find more and more modern-day trash, sometimes they stumble across historic trash like a Coca-Cola bottle that made it to the top of a rock far off the main corridor trail. What is guano and why was it a hot commodity in Carlsbad? Officials say the shape of this type of bottle is called a 'hobble-skirt,' which Coca-Cola started using in the year 1915. The bottle has the word 'Carlsbad' embossed at the bottom of the bottle, meaning this bottle was fabricated near the cave. This is not the first run-in with trash cavern staff have come across. In September 2024, an empty bag of Cheetos caused an uproar. Cavern officials say this small piece of trash has a big impact on the cavern; it can become a host for algae and mold.
