Falling on my butt in the Sierra Nevada | Travelin' Bones
https://travelinbones.wordpress.com/2010/03/15/falling-on-my-butt-in-the-sierra-nevada

Following the Final Footsteps of Gandhi | Travelin' Bones
https://travelinbones.wordpress.com/2009/10/06/following-the-final-footsteps-of-gandhi
Got them ol' travelin' bones, got that ol' travelin' smile. Following the Final Footsteps of Gandhi. In honor of his birthday this week I reflect on that moment:. Bapu, the father of their nation. I too want to somehow understand the man better. Continuing forward, the footprints stop abruptly in the middle of the yard. A marble stone column inscribed in Hindi marks the exact spot.
