Day 1, March 13, 2021: Walkers and runners departed from Yomba Shoshone on their 273 mile journey to Thacker Pass this morning. Canadian company Lithium Nevada plans a lithium mine, destructive to the land and water in this pristine region. Today, Saturday evening, walkers and runners made it to 20 miles before Austin, Nevada. Join them on Sunday morning as they begin again. The stay places will be Austin and Battle Mountain, Nevada.
