Dakota 38 + 2 Memorial Ride 2017

December 18th - Day 9

After breakfasting in Pipestone, the Ride has recently left heading the 29 miles to Russell. (See Marge DeRuyter's video below). Tonight the horses will be housed at a Farm Corral in Russell and the Riders and support people will be staying at the Russell Community Center. Lunch will be with the Chuck wagon and Dinner will be at the Russell Community Center.

On a personal note many thanks to my Dakota Family in Pipestone for another year's cooking and support. I miss you all.

Thanks to Russell for all they are doing today for the Ride. again it is much appreciated. The photo is of Russell in the 1920's.

Each moment of our lives holds so many different feelings and teachings. May we be reminded that our moments of darkness, anger,sadness,or hurt can always be met with light,love,happiness,and healing.
May today be filled with an abundance of all that is loving for each and every rider,supporter,volunteer,and four legged.
May we all honor this journey; see this healing is for our ancestors,for ourselves,and for our future.
May Creator protect you all as make this journey, today. May your voices be heard,pieces of your hearts be mended,and souls freed!
Blessings to all

Journey on warriors!
Love,honor,respect,and gratitude.

Prayers for all,and many thanks to everyone providing shelter,food,and love to the riders and horses

Thank you to those who shared your hearts with us tonight in Marshall. Blessings to all of you. I especially liked hearing from the 17 year old young man - I feel like he could be my grandson, and I am carrying him in my heart as such.
