Accepting the great honor of an invitation from the Lakota, December 18th 2006, Laurie and Leslie embarked with Flying Nosferatu aka Jet, Flying Masquerade, and Flying Bandalore to join the 20th Anniversary Chief Big Foot Memorial Ride from Bridger, Cheyenne River Reservation to Pine Ridge Reservation ending at a ceremonial gathering Wounded Knee, South Dakota.

Leslie & Jet, Steve of AVI Television Productions (filming for a German documentary), and Lakota friends leave Badlands rim camp towards Chief Big Foot Pass--a two-foot-wide precarious path with dangerous drops off on each side.

Big Foot Pass, Badlands, SD Jet took a bit of walk talk quieting prior to the descent. He'd been rearing up impatiently on the rim eager to join up with the leaders.
