It had us crossing another state line. Since it was a short day, breakfast wasn’t scheduled until 8:30am. In the apartment we woke up at 7:30am. I packed up some of my bedding, got it down to the Church. The route was rolling. I didn’t have to walk any hills but I went very slowly up the hills. The March didn’t leave the Church until 10am. The schedule of events had the March crossing the PA/MD border at noon. I didn’t want to spend that kind of time. I crossed the border all by myself. The sign said Mason-Dixon line. I got to the U. U. Church about 11:30 am. When I arrived there were a number of cars in the parking lot. Once the cars left I went inside and introduced myself. Bill was the host and the chef. As we visited he showed me around. The Church had acquired the 8-acre property that had a 2 story house and a 4-car garage. The house had been turned into the nursery, the adult study room, and the office. They re-modeled the garage into the meeting hall/sanctuary. </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#1A1A1A'>I spent some time journaling during the afternoon. They provided a potluck dinner. Bill was in charge. His helpers were Senior Citizens. Tables were set up which transformed the sanctuary into a dining hall. Very few, if any, locals joined us at the dinner table. Many of the Marchers set up their tents out in the yard. I prefer the indoor environment when it’s available. I set my sleeping pad under the table that serves as an altar. There were no meetings. Some folks stayed up until after 10pm.</span> <o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i>It has been difficult for David to send his journaling so we are missing some dates. The final decision about the ending of the March was that a local truck was rented to store the belongings of those staying in WDC for a week. The stay days of Oct. 30-31 in Bethesda, MD were used to empty the gear truck, sort the belongings and the Lost and Found box. Then the food truck was cleaned and the refrigerator moved to the gear truck for return to Des Moines. The U-Haul will be turned in later in WDC. It was a big job, but a good team effort.</i><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i>On Nov. 1st, the March into WDC was 6 miles and met by people along the way, then a rally with many presenters. In the evening, the marchers gathered for their last evening all together and had a big send out for each one. Izzy returned and played his guitar so they could sing their songs. It was a very festive evening.</i><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><i>David and Judy will have a home stay in Bethesda tonight and get on the road with the gear truck and solar panel trailer on Monday morning. They estimate 1050 miles to Des Moines. I am leaving Sunday morning in our van to meet David there mid-week (estimated 1650 miles for me). We are eagerly awaiting our reunion!
