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.
TRAVEL - Walking
Across America for
The American History Museum
This sculpture of a woman showing a little girl how to quilt is in front
of the Art
Center in Morehead.
I spent some time with these German Cyclist who were on their way to
Los Angeles. We compared a couple of travel stories and talked for a
few
minutes. I was off to the east and they were off to the west. Their
website
is: in80days.de
Today I walked along Forgotten Lane. I am not likely to forget. It was
a quiet
beautiful stretch of road between Morehead and Grayson, Kentucky.
The scatteed tall trees stood about a half mile from a wooded cover.
I missed seeing bees buzzing about the wildflowers on this trip. Finally,
bees.
This barn appears to be settling back into the earth. Quietly and Peacefully.
I like sharing people who own their own businesses. Radiator Shops,
Saddle
Makers, Farmers, Ranchers, Lawn Care, Art Galleries and such.
One of these girls is Janice. The other, Wanda. They are sisters.
There are a lot of women riding motorcycles today. Most are too fast
for me
to capture with my camera.
Denisha was nice enough to ride by and pose. Her friend, Danny, was
nice
enough to stand with her. They are from Hitchen, Kentucky.
The part of the road could easily be mistaken for a quiet hike and bike
trail.
What I find most common in the south is patriotism that comes from the
heart.
What I found at this VFW was also great food and some wonderful men
and
women who wore their heroism with great humility.
I stopped to photograph some sheep and the owner stopped to see if any
of them
had gotten out. He said he would look for his sheep online and here
one is!
I wonder if the wool will be a cap, a coat or end up being something
made
by hand on a porch or living room.
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."
