Date Posted: 13:38:03 11/06/07 Tue In reply to: L. 's message, "The Longest Walk-2" on 02:26:54 11/04/07 Sun Well, that ought to keep a bunch of activists busy for awhile. Did anybody clue these guys in to the fact that it is a tough crossing of the Sierra's in February. Maybe they will get snowed in at Donner Pass. If you happen to buy the $250 ticket and get to meet some of these people you might pass this info along from me: they need to bring along an extra semi load of garbage bags when they hit the indian reservation just west of my house. That place is a dump along the roads. Also, they could probably make a few million off the glass pint bottles littering the roadsides.
