Pulaski County was visited Thursday by a 33-year-old man from Los Angeles who is walking across America to benefit mental health. We spoke to Jessi Larios Thursday afternoon as he passed in front of KJPW-KFBD Studios in St. Robert. He said his visit to Waynesville and St. Robert was very pleasant.

Larios will continue his journey eastward today through Pulaski County and should be in Phelps County by nightfall. By the way…Larios is dressed as a Bear.
