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.

WALK ACROSS AMERICA: PHOTO ALBUM PAGES
This morning began with Richard Gwin taking pictures of me and me taking
pics
of him.
The road today was lined with trees for much of my journey. The rain
moved
around me. I remained dry.
The refer to this as Teepee Junction. Makes sense.
The planes flew above my head and about me for several hours as they
sprayed
the fields with something or another.
I would have to say, this is an upscale farm.
This little town rests between Lawrence and Kansas City. I walked about
the town,
mainly because I liked the name. (named after a Native American Chieftain:
Tonagnoxi.
The sweet corn was ready for harvest.
Four generations of farming. The pictures to the left are from his little
stand, that
is located near the farm.
This water park was constructed on the site of the town's original swimming
hole.
When I was young I used to dread picture puzzels like this. I don't
attempt them
very often, now.

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."
Sharing the road with
butterflies.
This sheriff shared a few
moments with me in
Tonganoxie.
