Today we were greeted by the river animals, right after we all started to get there a elderly man
showed up and started feeding the ducks, geese and mother and child ground hog. For the last
couple of years now we have been greeted by the ground hogs and now there are babies. This first
section of the run is really tough it has a lot of traffic, construction, strip malls on and on.
We started out with a reading from the
Leonard Peltier web site.
We finished up around 2:30 and headed for Delza and Cathy's as always we are greated by a
gang of Dogs and Cats the picture above is only about 1/2 of them. Delza and Cathy have been hosting
our first overnight on this run for the last four years now. They have both been my friends for a
long time Delza I have known for almost 30 years.They always take really good care of us. They both
know about Leonard Peltier and this is their way of supporting him. For the last couple of years
now Delza has been bicycleing so he asked me if he could ride a few miles this year for Leonard. And
I said yes so tomarrow we will have our first rider for freedom.
After a great rest we recieved a phone call from our friend Terry Stagman saying at the last
minute he had to work and wanted to wish us luck. Delza led us off and is going to cover 30 miles
that leaves the rest of us around 25 miles to cover. This section has a lot of hills but the
road is a little more quiet and the scenery is beautiful.
Towards the end of the day we got some really needed rain and I got the pleasure of running
through it. We ended the run at
Serpent Mound the largest and serpent effigy in the United States. Nearly a quarter of a mile
long, Serpent Mound apparently represents an uncoiling
serpent and was built buy the Adena (800 BC-AD 100). Burial Mounds also suround the serpent, a very
proper place to end this run. Our thoughts and prayers are with Leonard Peltier and all prisoners of conscience.
