Reply #29: I'm hoping to meet some DUers soon during "Mule Days" in Bishop, CA

[pinboy3niner]

Our vets' group in the Antelope Valley has one of the traveling Walls--replicas of the VN Veterans' Memorial--and we're taking it to Bishop for display May 27-June 2, over the Memorial Day period.

Our Wall Team is staying in Bishop for the duration, so I'll be around the entire time, beginning this Friday around noon. (We'll be accompanied by a large motorcycle escort as we roll into town.) Anyone mentioning my username will be directed to me (and I'll be easy to spot, wearing a jungle shirt with Screaming Eagle patches on the shoulders).

The Wall will be set up in a ballfield adjacent to Bishop's park (across from the bakery). I'll post more details in the CA and Vets' forums early in the week about the event and the opening ceremonies to be held this Saturday, but anyone can drop by even this Friday during setup--and we can always use more volunteers to help set up the panels.

The annual Mule Days celebration in Bishop during that time draws upwards of 35,000 people, so there are bound to be some fellow and sister members in that crowd.

I'm pretty jazzed about the prospect of having a linkup in Bishop. The only DUer I've met before was kerrygoddess, some years ago--and we wound up doing anti-Iraq War demos together.
