TRAVEL - Walking
Across America for
The American History Museum
This train depot in Ashland is one of the few Amtrak stops at a station
downtown.
Junk in the Trunk smells wonderful! The cashier was enjoying a lolipop
with gum
in the center. Pictured here are: Shaun, Susan, Carter, and we call
baby girl Madison Presley
This sign reminded me of so many I have seen along the way: a patch
work of
metal suggesting they must have a limited number of metal posts available.
The Iron horse Inn has great atmosphere inside, live music and a patio
that allows
guests to sit, eat (or drink) and watch the trains go by.
When trains aren't going by, they provide an opportunity to learn about
balance.
Thanks to everyone who responded to my note: This is a Chinese Dogwood
Tree.
This sculpture has one of the most pleasant faces I have seen. I loved
this face!
I thought the comic was funny. Really funny. He still never cracked
a smile.
This hand painted quilt is one of many of the artifacts at a store that
sells civil war
relics.
This replica war bonnet was inside owner's office at the Civil War Shop.
I thought
it was a great job -- made in New York City. Who would know? Sgt. Riker's Civil War Shop
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."
