next report       June 1 Hilly, dangerous, but smooth   Today¹s walk was a bit harrowing at the beginning. On Thursday, June 1, we got a 3.5-mile taste of what walking through inland curvy roads was going to be like. We walked over Harris Grade Road, which is a curvy, hilly and dangerous road that snakes its way over a mountain. We¹ve become professionals by now, so all went extremely smooth. The really cool thing about today¹s walk was that our housing was about 7 miles from our starting point, which made it the perfect lunch stop. We¹re so used to finding a patch of grass and some shade on the side of the road­it was nice to have a change. The even cooler thing that happened today was that we found out we¹d be staying at the Chumash Indian Reservation in Santa Ynez over the weekend, thanks to the tremendous assistance of the Novicks down in Malibu. They¹re also coordinating all of our housing and gigs in that area too ... they rock to say the least. We were happy to find out that we wouldn¹t have to camp. We have tents, but after walking, sleeping and cooking outside wouldn¹t be much fun. Later that evening we also found out that we¹d be moving the next day. We had originally thought we¹d stay at St. Mary¹s for one more night, but they had a funeral scheduled for early Saturday morning and thought it would be best if we could go down to the Methodist Church in town, where we¹d been offered housing. The Methodists have really stepped up for Tibet. They have taken a stand against the trade bill for China and they¹ll be housing us for the last two weeks of the walk. Thank you all so much.
