Memorial at RR station

Burlington Northern Santa Fe RR

Taken at the train station in McCook, NE as we participated in a direct action memorial for 47 people killed in Quebec a year ago today when the train derailed and the highly explosive oil exploded. We sat in the lobby and named those killed and rang a bell for each person - men, women, and children. Very powerful. I'll post the video when it's ready. We are participating in the "North American week to stop transport of oil by rail." Feels like things are heating up - literally and figuratively. Glad to be here at this momentous time in history.
For the Earth,

Walked almost 20 mi today in temps up to 99 and very high humidity. Sleeping in a/c Barclay, NE Community
Center tonight. Over 100 tomorrow and another long march. Brutal!

Mayor of Culbertson NE

Ramona came to earn us of impending storm. Big scramble to protect vehicles from hail and move Marchers into church. Storm wasn't too bad, and Culbertson had their fireworks.

1941 John Deer tractor

My phone quit taking Px, but I did get this old tractor. Candy and water balloons flying around. Kids (old and young) loved it.

Parade - library float

4th of July Parade

Happy 4th! We are taking a stay day in Culbertson, NE, and participated in a great old-fashioned small town parade. Estimated 2,000 folks lining the streets with all kinds of floats and participants. A real hoot! Fireworks tonight and back on the March tomorrow. Staying at Methodist church, so I feel right at home. Time for a swim this afternoon. All good!

CO-NE border

Celebrating the border crossing and the 1/2 way point of the March. I have walked approx 3,500,000 steps!
