We have been busy running patrols, chopping wood for our cabin and tipi field camp at Horse Butte, cooking meals for all the volunteers who have come to help, keeping the web site up to date, writing articles, editing video footage, and completing the myriad other tasks necessary to keep the campaign running smoothly. Due to the lengthening days, our morning wake-up has been moved to 4am. This means 3am for the Seeds of Peace cooks who prepare our delicious meals. These folks work harder than any I've ever met, preparing two breakfasts, lunch, and dinner every day. Preparing meals for fifty hungry activists is no easy task, but our cooks pull it off on a daily basis.
Credit is also due to the maintenance coordinators.
These two people do more work than a whole herd of carpenters, mechanics, electricians, plumbers, masons, and engineers ever could. If something breaks, it's never broken long. Without their hard work, the campaign would come grinding to a screeching halt. A big thanks to the folks at the online magazine Grist, who ran our stories all last week, allowing us to inform thousands of people of the bison slaughter. If you joined our listserv after reading the entries in Grist, welcome.
