Stay tuned: I have more to write and say about Stephanie Bearcomesout, one of the 11-year-old youths on the Fort Robinson Outbreak Spiritual Run that took place Jan, 8-14. I have more pictures, too! I completed one post but lost all my material, so, I will have to redo later. It’s too late on a Tuesday night to rewrite everything I had to say about the journaling Stephanie was doing on the trip. I will write it all over again. I promise!
