The new day brings fogs and misty gusts. Heceta Lighthouse in a different mood compared to yesterdays serene sunset.

The women's team begins the day nonetheless.

Puroga and Attila - our indefatigable teammates from Hungary

Peace runners till the end!

In every town, people find us to share their own hope for peace, Peace Run is a living example of the oneness-home.

By "leapfrogging", multiple runners can cover ground simultaneously. That means two or more runners, carrying the torch for peace at the same time on a different stretch of the road.

A big thank you to Ken from Car and RV wash who kindly gave the women's team a free car wash.

The cars really needed it.

Good as new!

The team spends the night at the Salmon River Campground.

Harita is on the phone organizing future meetings. What an office!

The weather has cleared and the team spends a serene evening hour by the riverbank together with the whole team, ending the day in peace and harmony.
