JOURNAL ENTRY
Walking beyond the trail that leads
to Vail we saw a
Police car with its lights flashing. I'm always curious
about what is going on - everywhere, all the time.
(perhaps a fatal flaw in my character)
As we approached we saw the officers trying to coax a doe and fawn across
the road to safety. What a wonderful way to enter Vail.We
wandered through Vail, admiring not only the array of sculptures they
have on display, but where they chose to place them.
That evening I had a chat with
Erik Stahl, a French/Mexican/American film-maker who enjoys creating
documentaries about the men and women who work toward various causes.
It is always interesting to listen to the perspectives of those who
speak multiple languages, while I am
still engaged in learning one.
The Walk for THE WALK Tour is a walk
across America from Malibu, California
to Washington, D.C. taking the design for
a liner museum of American History
called: THE WALK to the public.
Steven wears a uniform shirt and tie to
prevent some from believing this is some
kind of a protest. The tour is more about
introducing The Walk than fund-raising.
This 3800 mile walk should also allow
people to understand that it is not
believed to be an easy project, but
that it is possible to do difficult things
when the desire is there, and like the
history of this continent and this nation,
The Walk has been filled with bright
moments, exhillerating adventures
and some set backs. Each of these
has added to what we are as a nation
and who we are as a people.
This ballon rose above the mountains as
Natt and I left Eagle on our way to Vail.
This mare and her young foal were among a small herd in the same
state of being. It was fun to watch the young ones stand and wabble
into clumbsy energetic runs.
Maggpies, like Ravens are camera shy and I was happy to finally be able
to share a picture of one of them with you.
These Police Officers were busy trying to get this doe and her fawn
to safety,
as we entered Vail.
There were so many sculptures in Vail, it was difficult to pick one
to share,
this one can balance the one with Steven and Smokey the Bear.
This was another day of watching people dance and bounce down the
rivers that move through Colorado. These looked like they were
having a great time!

Feel
free to order shirts or
hats here: from the same
company here in America
we buy from.
Members and Posts of
these organizations have
given us support along
our journey. I hope
this projects serves them
as well as they have served
this nation --
and us while we walk.
The links below can take
you to personal myspace
pages. I hope you will
keep up with what
we are doing, and add
to the project: drop us
a note, suggestions or
comments.
Natt's Myspace
This site follows us as we make our way along America's roads and highways, but this project is about raising awareness for a linear museum of American History called: The Walk.
The project is about one individual and then another: not one
more important than the next, but each a link in the chain we call "America."
Millions of stories that should never be forgotten, perhaps preventing
some future American from making their mistakes, or leading the next
generation to a brighter future.
Our future is not written in stone. It never was. This nation was not left to us as a gift. It was left to us as a challenge. We can do no more. We should do no less.
I hope you enjoy looking
at these pages. Maybe
return to our beginning
and walk with us,
enjoy the things we saw
and maybe laugh at some
of the things we did.
Some suggest we have
lost our minds. Maybe.
May just ask if they
can help us. When I hear
that question, I am forced
to admit, "Many people hope you can."
