Day 2• Sept 4, 2016 • Celebration Park to Bruneau Dunes • 65 miles
Day Two of the tour dawned with the threat of a recurrence of last night’s rain and no small amount of apprehension. Rationalization was over: we were now committed to what was most likely a criminal act. While I stand by the convictions expressed earlier, in the grand scheme of things it’s difficult to make the case that this act of defiance rises to the level of, say, civil rights or women’s suffrage. We were a band of middle-class white people trespassing on the property of another band of middle-class white people. If anything, this act was embarrassingly trite.
