For the first time this year, the sun was so far south it was beaming directly onto me.

Happiest day, beloved Joy Train Rider! I love you! Bless you.

I call for the Light of God to touch every heart appearing now on this Earth, and remind us that we are Divine Beings. I visualize us acting together in peace and love to end every transgression against our fellow men and women and the entire planet.

“You may say that I’m a dreamer, but I’m not the only one,” John Lennon affirmed. A thought of impending danger can alarm and paralyze you before any physical contact. So it’s easy to see that our thoughts affect/create things. I will always hold out for the highest possibility.

Beloved Rider I learned an incredibly chilling detail over the weekend that simultaneously pulls all the distortions we’ve been subjected to, back to one inhuman cause. Reading my deeply admired Joyce Strong’s Substack, Trump’s Fetish for the Wrong, she related an incident in which Donald Trump was asked why he slept with the wives of his “friends.”

“Because it is so wrong,” he is said to have responded.

So he could savage our public lands for the satisfaction that public outrage would bring him?! Multiply that by a thousand cuts that bring a wail from us and deliver him ‘pleasure.’

It seems to me that this statement combined with the grave discrepancies being uncovered in the 2024 elections, The Whistleblower and the 2024 Elections require the conversation to be reframed. If we are dealing with an illegitimate regime, we have to raise that issue long and loud and require the accounting that cyber security experts are clamoring for.

I believe that a minimum of 200 million Americans would choose the American way of life we know over what we have now, so it shouldn’t be hard for us to thwart the regime’s advance. If each person takes up the issue they care most about, join with a group addressing that issue or support them with a donation, we can and must make the difference. On Joyce’s page you can find many other articles with instructions such as Ten Things you can do today to #Startthestop

The National Parks will always be my proving ground because they’re what I know best and I feel most passionately that defending them is fundamental to protect our country and our legacy. I’m so grateful for the Pattiz brothers, Jim and Will at More than Just Parks, for the diligent work they are doing to provide us winning strategies. They actually drew up a bill covering all the bases, Protecting Our Public Use Lands, Access and Recreation (POPULAR) Act, and all we have to do is support it.

Beloved Rider today I just want to take you on a sampler tour, sharing some of the incredible experiences we’ve had in National Parks that are waiting for you and your family and friends.

Fort Jefferson straddling Garden Key in Dry Tortugas National Park was built principally with the labor of enslaved Africans.
