Our event was dedicated to 19th century environmentalist, activist and visionary, Henry David Thoreau.
He walked this beach (although due to coastal erosion, the strand he actually walked on is quite a bit out to sea now!)His words still resonate for us...

Hard rain and 80-mile-an-hour winds kept most of us off the beach till Sunday. Although power and phones were out, Cape and Islands NPR was off the air and roads were closed by fallen trees--- a few of us got the word and were able to get to the beach on this gorgeous day after the storm, to take a stand --and a walk--for 1 sky and 1 earth--for our climate and our future. We had da THoreauvian walk, spreading out and enjoying the day, the beach and eachother's company at our own pace---and spreading the word for StepItUp and Cape Cool. Henry was here!
