August 31st marks the return of Jane Sullivan from her American Walk of Life. A parade and party has been organized to celebrate her homecoming. There will be many stories to tell of her adventures of crossing 12 states in three months. There was heat, there was flooding, there were RV repairs, there were bugs... Not only will Jane have accomplished this journey, but so will the many people who supported her, including her husband Tim, family members, and twenty or more friends and community members who planned or accompanied her on this trip.
The parade will begin at approx. 11:15am on Saturday, August 31st at the top of Sears Ranch Rd. above the school. Costumes, banners, instruments and noise makers are encouraged! Since parking is limited at the Open Space parking lot, it's recommended that you park somewhere in La Honda and walk to the site. It's only about a half mile, but uphill - should take less than fifteen or twenty minutes. We will walk back down Sears Ranch Rd. when Jane and company arrive to Playbowl for a short party and reception. There will be beverages and ice cream, but please feel free to bring finger food or snacks to share. For those who wish to hike more, you can walk in Harrington Creek Trail a mile on the flat, or continue left down the trail to Harrington Creek bridge. Jane will be coming in from the north on the other side of the bridge.
The party will continue at the San Gregorio Store after 2pm where Bundy Browne will be playing with his band and special guests. Guests may include Neil Panton, Rob Christian, and quite likely an appearance by the La Hondettes! This should be a fun day for all.
For anyone interested in walking across the Golden Gate Bridge the day before, Jane will be leaving Sausalito Friday, August 30th to cross the bridge and walk to the Great Highway to dip her toes in the Pacific. Specific times have not been set, but word can get out through the La Honda Group online. Walking usually begins fairly early in the morning. You'll need to figure your own transportation, but may be able to leave your car in SF and utilize Uber or Lyft, or maybe the ferry.
Hope to see you there!!
