We are very grateful for the three sites we were offered to sleep comfortably in our tents.
Living and growing skyscapers are a sight to behold.
Some of the women's team spent the night at the Gualala Country Inn. They are grateful for such nice accommodations at a reduced rate.

Kaneenika enjoys the wide open spaces after having won a ten-day race in New York in April on a one-mile loop. She ran 727 miles in ten days!! Maybe we can let her carry the torch all the way up to Seattle.
Getting some sun and peace by the side of the road overlooking the Ocean waves.
Cheryl Zwarkowski and a friend happily share the torch. Cheryl is running from Oregon to Mexico as she met one of our women's teams on the road. It is always uplifting to meet people at the end of the day who wish to offer their goodwill and wishes for peace, especially long distance runners who happen to cross our path.
