Richard Martin of Crystal River carries a wooden cross equipped with a small wheel on its base along the southbound lanes of U.S. 19, south of State Road 52 in Port Richey on Wednesday. Martin has spent six years walking the Southeast as part of his visual street ministry. His journey Wednesday began in Hudson. "I consider the side of the highways my church.
