June 2019 • Nebraskaland 25 [The purpose of the trip was] to take people on a journey with us. Not everybody can do what we did. But, if we can take you with, and give you a sense of what it was like, and either show you some things that you haven't seen before, or show you something in a way that you haven't seen it before, then that's a success, I think. The longer-term goal and hopefully the success of this project is to continue to build community and voice around this watershed, and then other watersheds. When I give a talk about Platte Basin Timelapse to other places that aren't here, I'll always start with my story from my home country, from my home watershed, but as I do that, I want you to think about your own. Where does your water come from, and what does that mean, and how are you intimately connected to it? Q: What are your future plans? I hope this project can continue for a long time. We'd like to make it through a decade – it's good statistically, and it sounds good from a story perspective – but in a lot of ways, I'd like to see it continue, and I'd like to continue to explore my home, as a storyteller. Being able to stay in one place may not sound as sexy to some as traveling the world, but getting to know a place really well is like getting to know a friend your entire life.
