DAKOTA 38+ 2 MEMORIAL RIDE - 2022

Hello, It is December 19th, 2022, and the final Dakota 38 + 2 Memorial Ride is in it's tenth day. This is the tenth webpage of the Ride.

I have added the different years Rides pages at the bottom of the webpages where the other links are, so that those of you who are new can see them.

The background of this page is of a young woman Rider in 2017, carrying the bag where the names of all those needing prayers during the Ride go into. Anyone can ask for prayers, for themselves, for someone else. Let Keith or Josette know and the name will go into the bag and be carried by different riders every day. The prayers the Riders make during each day go for these people in the bag. This bag was donated by one of our Riders, Sharlene, it is from South Africa, as she is.

As of Dec 16th, we have reached 9,000 members in the group. The most we have ever had.

Sadly less than 2% of that number are visiting the web site.

This section will stay here all along the Ride to enable people to get calendars no matter what day they come in first.

I am making some different calendars this year. The first one is of the horses through the years, the second one will be of unusual, beautiful, photos that have been taken through the years. They will be $5 each payable to the Go Fund Me page for the Ride expenses. The 3rd one I am working on is a Historic one, of the Dakota 38 and 1862. That Calendar will be FREE. Years ago I was given permission to use these photos from the MN Historical Society as long as I didn't charge anyone for them. So the Calendar with those photos will be free. Same proceedure.

I hope this URL works OK.

If you want a Calendar, please email me at dakota38@dragonflydezignz.50megs.com ASAP

Let me know which you want and I will email you a PDF file so that you can print them out yourself. As usual I will need an up to date email address from you, or it/they won't reach you, Thanks, Gloria

FYI: You get a PDF file in your email, you can then print your own calendar, I do not mail the actual calendar out to you. As I live in England that would be a bit expensive to do!! It does work as I made the calendars for a number of years a while back and as far as I know everyone managed to print one out.

For those of you who have ordered calendars, you are on my list and the PDF's will be sent out as soon as I have them tested. Keep an eye out in your email, also the junk mail just in case! Thanks - Gloria

Prayers for the day from

We are Canoe Nations where I come from. But a part of my heart travels with the Horse Nations on your Sacred Journey! Our Canoe Journey this year took us away from our family and home for over a month this past summer! And the same is true for those making that sacrifice with this ride! On the Paddle to Bella Bella, we were hosted by many Nations and I read of the generosity and hospitality that The Riders are receiving! Our People had treacherous times but we persevered as I know the Sacred Riders will! I follow you on Facebook and love all the pictures! My prayers and admiration travel with you every day!

Here are some good wishes for the Riders that came in since yesterday.
Once I have collected your post I will like it. If I haven't liked it I won't have got it on my file yet.
