The Bighorn Mountain Wild and Scenic Trail Run

After leaving a successful event at the Home Depot and eating some great local food for lunch, we went to the Sheridan High School where people registered for a 100 mile run. The event attracted people from many parts of the continent, including Colorado and Alberta, Canada. We set up outside the registration area and talked with folks about renewable energy, recycling, and energy efficiency.

For the first hour, or so, not many people came up to the bus, but after a little while Chelsea went out and began to talk with people and us at the bus become more active in trying to talk with folks as they walked past. Many of the conversations revolved around bio-fuels, but other people liked the concept of the recycled glass used for the WORC and Northern Plains building (Home on the Range), in Billings. One couple from Casper traveled up for the run and showed a strong interest in the glass. The family was landscaping their home and showed a strong interest in using the pulverized glass instead of rock. The problem, however, comes with trying to find the stuff.

All-in-all the event went well, even though the parking the construction crew for the parking lot became loud at times. Kevin brought us sushi, including beef. We stayed at the event for around 4 hours and hopefully made some new contacts for the Powder River Basin Resource Council and collected 3 pages of names on our Call to Action.
