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.
This project is to introduce this new
design for an American History Museum
to the American public. The 3800+ mile
walk should also allow people to
understand that we do not
believe it will 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.

These are two calves along Hwy 40m leaving Hays, Kansas.
This giant Buffalo Sculpture rests in front of Historic Fort Hays.
I know, neither of these guys is smiling. Which one is a cardboard cutout?
I'm not really pretending to work. I'm just sitting down.
This small herd is located across Hwy 40, from the Fort Hays, Kansas.
The colors of the cut wheat shined gold in the evening sun. where are
the poets
when you need them?
I just love the orioles around this area!
Natt and I both tried to imagine how early pioneers felt walking into
this church,
after working all week behind a horse or ox drawn plow.
This plaque reflects the pride Russell shows in being able to call Bob
Dole one of
their own. Both he and Arlen Spector called Salina home as young boys,
and
later -- as men.

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.
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."

While I was in Russell, a
televison crew came to
film the museum that houses
Bob Dole's old office
furniture, from his days as
City Attorney.
The question was: What about
Bob Dole makes Salina so
very proud of him. I would offer this:
When I was young I could look up to becoming someone like Jim Bowie
or Audie Murphy, though some were pushing the idea we should become
Superman. My children had the Ninja Turtles and Power Rangers as role
models then came along
the Terminator and the
Transformers. None of them are going to grow up to be any of them!
They may, if we hold the
models up, grow up to be like Bob Dole.
