Adventures on the road to Canada- Marty Pique


On our way to Vancouver from Mexico, in the Mojave Desert, Dan and I stopped in a convenience store on the corner of nowhere and nowhere - well, it seems that way in such a huge desert. Dan noticed on the wall a photo of a man with a small bicycle and a HUGE load of bags of bottles and cans. He asked the proprietor if that was a real photo, and she said, "Well, here is, just coming in the door" and yes, there was Marty, coming in for a coffee. He took us over to show us his setup, and then I suggested I could promote his initiative, which is to clean up this part of the desert...so here is a link to an article all about Marty Pigue (he said it is pronounced "pig" but he is not Canadian!- shouldn't that be "peeg"?) - anyway, Marty's another great guy doing his best to clean up our world. At the end of the article are details of how you can send him a donation to help his initiative.
