For more information visit: johnwaynetrailride.com Over the years the Cross State Ride has become a diverse group of Sojourners from around the world coming together to enjoy the trail, the beauty of Washington state, and the unique communities along the way. The group consists of horses & riders, wagons, cy- clists, and hikers. There are also some who come just for the time to stay in camp, visit, and welcome back the weary travelers. No matter the mode of travel everyone finishes the day with stories unique to their group. Horse and riders make up the largest group on the cross-state ride. Through rain, snow, sleet, and heat they keep traveling down the trail. This ride provides a unique opportunity for the horse and rid- er to build a bond that you don’t always get in other situations both with each other and those they see on the trail. Everyone is excited to see the wagons come on this ride. Well, with the exception of the horse that has never seen a wagon, but what an opportunity to learn about something new. Our teamsters are a great group of people. What a way to travel. Many times they open their empty seats to others. It is a great way to share sto- ries and see the countryside as you roll down the trail. Hiking the trail gives a unique perspective that you may not get when riding or on a wagon. It slows the pace down and allows you to see things you may miss otherwise. We have had a few hik- ers over the years but I think only one can claim hiking the trail 11 times. Think of the stories Rusty can share. Over the past years we have had a few cyclists on the ride. How- ever 2016 was our largest group with approximately a dozen par- ticipating. What a great group of people to share the trail and tales with. Hikers, bikers, riders and wagons all come together helping each other, learning, fellowshipping and working together as they trav- el across the state. Life time friendships are made on the Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail.

In 1915 the section from Othello to Seattle was electrified. The last train ran in 1972 and the route was abandoned in 1980. There was immediate contro- versy on how to use the right of way. Chic Hollenbeck, founder of the original JWPWR group, spearheaded the effort to convert the right of way to a trail. The Trail is now administrated and maintained by two state agencies. Washington State Parks supervises the western piece from Rattlesnake Lake to the Columbia River and the far eastern piece from Lind to Tekoa. The central piece from the Columbia River (Beverly) to Lind is supervised by the Department of Natural Re- sources (DNR). Route Following the route of the old Milwaukee Railroad the trail is open to all non- motorized uses the gentle gravel surface is popular with cyclists, hikers, birders, horseback riders, teamsters and cross country skiers. The western segment of the trail to the Columbia river has marked trailheads, a well maintained surface, con- trolled access and good signage. It is characterized by mountains, high trestles, irrigated farm land and high desert. Bisecting small ranching communities the eastern segment is more primitive crossing large pastures and open rangelands. Heading east from Rattlesnake Lake near Seattle, the trail climbs its way up the Cascade mountains, passes through a 2.3 mile long tunnel, and winds along the edge of Lake Keechelus. After passing through irrigated farmland and detouring thru Ellensburg around CWU it descends down a series of nine switchbacks to the Columbia River. The JWPT Continues from the Columbia River (Beverly) to Smyrna Crab Creek. Due to live rails in some places a detour is necessary from Smyrna to Warden. Other than a mile or so riding on the road near Lind the trail is continuous thru range land from Warden to Cow Creek, where a detour is neces- sary from Ralston through Ritzville to Marengo. Marengo to Ewan goes through the channel scab lands with a private land issue just west of Ewan. Permission to cross is possible with a phone call. Because of a missing trestle at Rock Lake Road and private land issue one must take a very pretty detour thru a Pine forest from Ewan to Hole in the Ground Road before rejoining the JWPT and then a con- tinuous trail to Tekoa on the Idaho border. 2 History Highlights of the Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail Dec. 1981: WA State purchases the Milwaukee Railroad (212.9 miles & 4.024 acres) for $1.9 million. June 1982: First organized ride JWPW&R, Easton to Thorp in 2 days. Oct. 1982: 19 riders & 3 wagons from Wanapum Dam to Ellensburg. Jack Price’s run-away ended his trek. April 1983: 206 riders & several wagons from Ralston to Othello encountered snow, wind, and rain. April 1983: WA St House of Reps approved bill for non-motorized trail April 1983: WA ST Senate approves legislation that preserves the right-of- way as a trail managed by the Department of Resources (DNR). March 1984: Equestrian groups worked to have WA ST Parks to manage the trail from Easton to Tunnel 47. May 1984: 150 riders and several wagons ride from Warden to Kittitas Jan. 1985: After much discussion a compromise was reached to name the Trail the John Wayne Pioneer Trail in the Iron Horse State Park. May 1985: “ First Cross State Trail Ride” from Easton to Tekoa in 2 weeks Everyone loved it and a ride each year ever since. 2006: WA ST Parks increases management to include Lind to Tekoa, but per- mit system still in place. 2015: Attempt to close trail and give Trail to adjacent land owners from the Columbia River to Malden. 2016:WA ST Parks hold hearings and works out a plan to save the JWPT 2018: WA ST Parks changes the name to Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail How Can You Help Save the Trail?

  • The Burial of the Urban Poor in Italy in the Late Republic and Early Empire
    Death, disposal and the destitute: The burial of the urban poor in Italy in the late Republic and early Empire Emma-Jayne Graham Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Archaeology University of Sheffield December 2004 IMAGING SERVICES NORTH Boston Spa, Wetherby West Yorkshire, LS23 7BQ www.bl.uk The following have been excluded from this digital copy at the request of the university: Fig 12 on page 24 Fig 16 on page 61 Fig 24 on page 162 Fig 25 on page 163 Fig 26 on page 164 Fig 28 on page 168 Fig 30on page 170 Fig 31 on page 173 Abstract Recent studies of Roman funerary practices have demonstrated that these activities were a vital component of urban social and religious processes. These investigations have, however, largely privileged the importance of these activities to the upper levels of society. Attempts to examine the responses of the lower classes to death, and its consequent demands for disposal and commemoration, have focused on the activities of freedmen and slaves anxious to establish or maintain their social position. The free poor, living on the edge of subsistence, are often disregarded and believed to have been unceremoniously discarded within anonymous mass graves (puticuli) such as those discovered at Rome by Lanciani in the late nineteenth century. This thesis re-examines the archaeological and historical evidence for the funerary practices of the urban poor in Italy within their appropriate social, legal and religious context. The thesis attempts to demonstrate that the desire for commemoration and the need to provide legitimate burial were strong at all social levels and linked to several factors common to all social strata.

  • Thesis for the Degree Of
    Reconfiguring the Universe: The Contest for Time and Space in the Roman Imperial Cults and 1 Peter Submitted by Wei Hsien Wan to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology and Religion February 2016 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ……………………………………………………………………………… Abstract Evaluations of the stance of 1 Peter toward the Roman Empire have for the most part concluded that its author adopted a submissive or conformist posture toward imperial authority and influence. Recently, however, David Horrell and Travis Williams have argued that the letter engages in a subtle, calculated (“polite”) form of resistance to Rome that has often gone undetected. Nevertheless, discussion of the matter has remained largely focused on the letter’s stance toward specific Roman institutions, such as the emperor, household structures, and the imperial cults. Taking the conversation beyond these confines, the present work examines 1 Peter’s critique of the Empire from a wider angle, looking instead to the letter’s ideology or worldview. Using James Scott’s work to think about ideological resistance against domination, I consider how the imperial cults of Anatolia and 1 Peter offered distinct constructions of time and space—that is, how they envisioned reality differently.

  • Genetic Differentiation of Populations of the Threatened Saproxylic Beetle

Rosalia longicorn (Rosalia alpina) is an endangered and strictly protected beetle. Despite a marked decline in part of its range, the beetle has recently expanded to the lowlands of Central Europe. To facilitate a better understanding of the species’ biology, recent expansion and more effective conservation measures, we investigated patterns of genetic structure among 32 populations across Central and South-east Europe. Eight microsatellite loci and a partial mitochondrial gene (cytochrome c oxidase subunit I) were used as markers. Both markers showed a significant decline in genetic diversity with latitude, suggesting a glacial refugium in north- western Greece.

  • I Introduction
    I INTRODUCTION Angelos Chaniotis - 9789047428275 Downloaded from Brill.com09/25/2021 09:44:43AM via free access THE DYNAMICS OF RITUALS IN THE ROMAN EMPIRE Angelos Chaniotis 1. Ritual Displacement The Roman envoys sent to settle affairs in the East after Rome‟s victory over Macedonia in 167 BC must have been shocked at the spectacle that awaited them in Nikomedeia, the capital of the kingdom of Bithynia.1 They expected to meet Prusias, king of Bithynia, a friend and ally of the Roman people. But the man who appeared in front of them had his head shaved and was wearing the attire of a Roman freedman: a white cap, toga, and boots. The king, in this „theatrical costume‟ (δηαζθεπή), stretched out his right hand to the envoys and greeted them with the words: “Behold your freedman, who is willing to endear himself to you and emulate all your customs.” Polybius, our source, describes another bizarre scene with the same protagonist, this time in Rome: When he came to the entrance that leads to the senate, he stood at the little door facing the council and, lowering both his hands to the ground, he prostrated himself in front of the threshold and those who were seated and exclaimed: „hail, you saviour gods!‟ In Nikomedeia, Prusias performed a Roman social ritual, in Rome a Greek religious one: lying entirely flat on the ground in front of a divinity, a practice known both from literary sources and from iconography.2 The ritual of πξνζθπλεῖλ or γνλππεηεῖλ, primarily attested in connection with saviour gods, was often associated with supplication and primarily performed by women.
