This account is from the Crawford newspaper, The Lone Star Iconoclast:
CRAWFORD — After a long airplane ride from Los Angeles, Calif., coupled with the dusty drive from the airport, Cindy Sheehan arrived at Camp Casey I at approximately 5:30 p.m. Wednesday. She gently laid a bouquet of flowers at the foot of the cross bearing her son's name. Casey Sheehan's death in Iraq prompted his mother to seek a personal audience with President Bush.
Sheehan is insistent upon asking the President "for which noble cause" her son died. After a moment of silence, though surrounded by the media, Sheehan was loaded back into the van and departed for Camp Casey II.
When Sheehan arrived at Camp II she was greeted by applause and hugs from about 50 supporters. After saying her hellos, laughter turned to tears as she found Casey's cross and laid another bouquet of flowers before it.
More hugs, kisses, and greetings from mothers of other slain soldiers followed. After a brief rest in a cool trailer, Sheehan emerged and walked into the pavilion area. While hugging some children and saying more hellos, she spotted the giant mural of her son, Casey, hanging at one side of the tent. Immediately she began to weep. Her weeping soon turned to sobbing as she was joined and supported by friends and other soldiers' mothers.
There are some emotionally-wrenching photos at the Iconoclast.

Meanwhile Bush is still hiding out in Idaho. Democracy Now reports that he can run, but he can't hide:
Even though the tiny town of Donnelly only has a population of 130, some 200 protesters took to the streets Monday night. Protests were also held in Boise. There were reports protesters planned to issue a citizen's arrest warrant for the president. Laura McCarthy, whose son is in Iraq, said at a rally "President Bush probably breathed a sigh of relief when he landed in Idaho last night. But no matter where he goes, he's going to find a Cindy Sheehan in every community across the United States. The name is going to be different, but the message is going to be the same."
