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
The City Museum makes every superlative seem inadequate. Somehow each
corner
you step around, each room you walk into and each step you take up or
down,
makes you shake your head in disbelief and make you wish you were ten
again...
or just do what I do and climb through the tunnels and stuff anyway.
Just in case the inside of City Museum weren't enough to astound one,
the roof is
designed to make you stand in awe.
This might be to scale of the legendary Moby Dick. I looked down its
throat: no
Captain Ahab. I looked on his back... not there either.
We grabbed a helicopter ride as our Pilot took us over the river and
across some
of the bridges.
Natt snapped this great view of THE ARCH from the front seat of the
chopper.
Natt reached the park ahead of me and caught the sun filtering down
through
the trees along the Missouri River.
As many times as I tried to capture these guys along the road, here
they were,
resting along the concrete near a bridge in St. Louis.
I painted this River Boat on a trip some years back and thought of my
travel
companions. I hope this brings back memories for them, as well.
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 helicopter as we
flew over the Missouri
River.
The Pilot was in full
control the whole flight!
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."
