forts, badlands and wounded knee mt rushmore and crazy horse yellowstone and tetons
someday i will attempt to capture my feelingsabout criss-crossing this beautiful countryduring this time of intense political division
but my thoughts are not yet forged
the country drips with history, pride, love, confusion and blood documented by architectural separation, monuments and memorials
in the west we lack the architectural reminders
or maybe in the busyness of daily life I just forget

With two weeks to go, the tour is wrapping up, and “real life” is barreling towards me.
Yesterday, a camp host asked where we have been this summer.
“Everywhere,” I responded.
As she left, I looked towards the sky. It was true. My heart was full, eyes wet: “We did it. We actually did it.”
The striving, trying, and flood of tour-tasks are almost over. I’m beginning to feel the celebration, relief and appreciation for a summer full of memories.

We’ve started reaching out to distribution partners and are strategizing next steps.
I’ll share our plans in the coming weeks as they are solidified as well as summarize learnings and the final numbers.
