Rachel Walks with the Knights of Knee

Rachel has been walking with our Knights of Knee walking team for about 10 years. She is wearing standard night gear for the Portland to Coast Walk. A reflective vest and flashlight or headlamp is required between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. Our reflective vests were custom made of sequined fabric to mimic chain mail, with reflective tape. On the back, the tape spells out "Ni," the taunt of the Knights Who Say Ni in the movie, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
