Desert Walk #4: Day Three -- It Snows in the Desert

Rested from our walk thru Las Vegas, the day before, the Sacred Peace Walkers headed out of the Nevada Desert Experience compound for the walk in the desert -- north of the city. I went with Darcy Ike -- who I had spoken with the day before at the MLK statue in Las Vegas -- in his weather-beaten, gear shift sedan to the starting point at Kyle Canyon on Highway 157 several miles north of Las Vegas.

We followed the Porto Potty trailer for a while -- but then Darcy said he knew better way --

When we arrived, at Kyle Canyon -- Western Shoshone Tribal leader Johnny Bobb and his wife – Mary Lou -- had just started the morning circle. Just before we started to walk -- we learned that Darcy was ill – heart issues -- and had gone to a hospital. He would return to the walk on Wednesday. 

I could sense the excitement as we started the first leg of our walk to Mercury – the entrance to the Nevada Nuclear Test site – 50 miles in front of us,  The wind was a bit brisk and the skies were getting muddy. That day we were to walk 15 miles to Lee Canyon.   We never made it.

This episode features a conversation with Area one of the Priestess at the Sekhmet Goddess Temple.
