Walkers in RL New Hampshire.

Walking RL New Hampshire

The New Hampshire Rebellion is walking the length of the state in an effort to change the way campaigns are funded, politicians are elected, and governance is performed. They’ll walk 190 miles from 11 January to 24 January. On Monday 20 January, Merriam Galaxy, Vanessa Blaylock, and perhaps you, will virtually join them.

Mon, 20 Jan: Day 10: Canterbury to Concord

Starting Point: The Eggshell Restaurant, 563 Rte. 106, Louden NH

7:30 AM: BREAKFAST at Eggshell Restaurant
8:45 AM: DEPART/WALK
LUNCH: On the road!
2:00 PM: ARRIVE at Fairfield Inn, Concord.

Walking Virtual New Hampshire

• Virtual World: Second Life
• Mon 20 Jan: 8:45am – 2pm SLT / PST

Like the RL walkers Merriam & Vanessa will walk from 8:45am to 2pm. The RL walkers will be on EST, and the virtual walkers will be on SLT / PST. Merriam & Vanessa will be walking on treadmills in both RL & SL, doing 10.2 miles this day. The 2 mile / hour pace will be a lot easier in our cozy studios than the frozen roads the RL walkers will be on, but it’s a small way to offer some solidarity with the walkers and their cause.

YOU are invited to join us. Walk on a virtual treadmill for 5 minutes, or for the whole 5 hours. If you have a treadmill at your RL workstation you can walk there too. If not, your walking avatar will be great.

You can visit Merriam & Vanessa’s pages at NH Rebellion.org, you can sign up yourself to walk a day, or you could sponsor Merriam or Vanessa:
