New York State and Massachusetts are divided by a line of low hills running roughly north-south, the Taconic Range. U.S. Route 20 traverses a gap in them and the actual NYS-MA border at US20 runs close to the ridge on the west slope. On Monday, May 14, Mark and I walked up and over the gap to the state line, thus completing the trans-Massachusetts 9/11 Truth Walk.

True to form, on the final leg we were stopped twice by curious motorists: first by young Brady Hanford who lives hard by Hancock Shaker Village right on US20; later by videographer Jason Velazquez, who interviewed us with his smartphone for a blog post or a podcast on The Greylock Glass. Before Velazquez we were passed by two friends,Christopher Gruener and Al Magaletta from Boston 9/11 Truth, who wanted to witness the end of the walk and were driving ahead to the border. My wife Ellen Gillespie and Velazquez also met us there.

Ample photographs and videos were recorded on smart phones. An agreeable surprise was a bottle of Brut (like Champagne) brought by Al and Chris, duly quaffed at the state line.

Walk completed, documented (endpoint), and celebrated, and Al and Chisneeding to get back to eastern Mass, a Honda Civic and a Toyota Prius Cwith a total of five people headed a few miles east. Velazguez headed elsewhere.

The party stopped for a hearty lunch at Hancock Shaker Village then split in the HSV parking lot; Al and Chris bound for Boston and north; Mark, Bruce, and Ellen to Pittsfield and home, agreeing to meet anon to discuss how to follow up The Walk.
