Listening Across America
Bill and Shari Burke are taking a cross-country journey from Klamath Falls to Burlington, Vermont. They plan to take 2-3 months to make this trip, collecting stories from ordinary Americans along the way. They will be trying to discover some of the ways in which the current economic situation has changed people’s lives and thinking, both in positive and difficult ways. They are very interested in how communities and individuals of faith are responding and how that response impacts their faith. They are calling this project "Listening Across America," and will send us pictures of their journey

Here arethe first tidbits from their trip. To really know what it is like, read Shari's blog Listening Across America
and Bill's blog: The Way I See It - Also check out Bill' pictures of thier trip: Pictures on the Journey
You can really get a feel for the towns from Bill's pictures and Shari's descriptions make you feel you are on the journey with them.

Bill has a wonderful eye for "God Sightings"

.
This one spoke to him in Vancouver, WA


Another "God Sighting" with added humor

 

Next stop Ellensburg, WA. Then on to Spokane WA, where they had a miserable camping experience

notice the train in their backyard. Not much sleep for them

.July 8th - 13th, they are in Coeur d’Alene, ID. They love it there. You will just have to check Bill's pictures: Coeur d’Alene
and read about it on Shari's and Bill's blogs.

A better campsite in Coeur d'Alene.

Bill and Shari started on their journey June 25th.

Here is their truck - all loaded with (hopefully) everything they will need for the trip.

First stop The Dalles, staying with friends
and then on to Vancouver, WA.
where they visted with more friends.
Side trip to Salem Sunday for meeting.

Meeting at Freedom Friends in Salem, OR on June 28th
