Cap'n gets an early start out of Miles To Go Farm in lovely Vermont.

Baoyi making sure we get to the ceremony in good time.

Always time for a quick peace stop.

Isaac Evans-Frantz, Select Board Member for Brattleboro, arranged for community members to meet at Wells Fountain. We're grateful that he did!

Media reps were there and gave us a peace boost.

As well as other members of the local community. Thank you all!

Real life Vermonters offered Vermont soil for our eventual 50-state Peace Tree.

Ellen from Brattleboro kindly gave the girls' team a donation for drinks. That helps a lot by filling up the gratitude tank.

Later this afternoon we were blessed with a visit with Mayor Jay Kahn of Keene, NH.

Mayor Khan read aloud a very nice proclamation naming Aug. 9, 2026 Peace Run day in Keene.

Local peace lovers came our to offer their vision for peace, which is why we do this.

What a group. Thank you Keene for sending some of your very best to represent the city.

Danny only has a few days left with us, so he's turning on the jets.
