Eureka, Nevada
Interactiveness
I found myself in the midst of three
hundred or more motorcycles in Ely’s downtown in the morning.
“Was that you walking last night in the
dark? What were you doing?” asked one of
them, referring to the trekking I did out in the desert.
I told him about pilgrimage and the value
of it. Apparently thousands of bikers
are involved in a “Legacy” ride for raising money for charity. https://www.legion.org/riders/legacyrun I have, in fact, seen plenty of Harley
Davidsons making their way down Hwy 50, but it’s not all just bikers who I come
across.
A trucker halted his huge semi right on the
road. “Haribol,” said the trucker. “I
know Krishna. I'm from Poland. I’ll give you a ride.”
I had to refuse, but delightedly, he and I
both parted on good terms. Truly, he had
to move his vehicle. Then a ranger
stopped. “Mountain lions and elk—that’s
what you find out here.” Indeed, the
boys and I did see a majestic elk standing motionless next to the road.
I met a couple from Georgia. They read about this U.S. walk that I'm doing
in the Delta paper. A fellow from
Colorado offered water, and a couple from Utah also came to the shoulder of the
road to share what H2O they had.
Sally from the Bay area stopped to take a photograph and presented a
donation.
A lot of interaction. We are also now booked on Tuesday to speak at
the Seniors Centre in Eureka, and the Justice of the Peace, Judge Stephen
Bishop, has us up for a talk at the Lion’s Club in Ely for Wednesday.
This is all mercy!
May the Source be with you!
