The express began last week in California, and organizers hope to be in Washington D.C. by Oct. 16. The Grass March Cowboy Express trip is a transcontinental cowboy express to deliver petitions in Washington, D.C., highlighting land mismanagement and abuse of power by the federal agencies, specifically the Bureau of Land Management.
The trip is a 2,800-mile journey and includes stops and rallies in many cities. The volunteers are riding in five-mile increments. Their journey can be followed on FaceBook and on their website.
