FORT WORTH, Texas: Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan will return to her protest site near President George W. Bush's Texas ranch this weekend to bid farewell to the peace movement.
Sheehan will sell some camping items, gather with friends from previous demonstrations and celebrate her 50th birthday in Crawford, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) south of Fort Worth. Then she will hand over the deed of her 5-acre (2-hectare) lot to its new owner, radio talk-show host Bree Walker.
"I'm feeling like it was the right decision for me. I feel like it was the best thing to do," Sheehan told The Associated Press on Tuesday by telephone en route to Texas.
She told the AP that she wanted to spend more time with her three children and that she wanted to change course.
Sheehan said Tuesday that she is asking people to join her in a 10-day walk from Atlanta to Washington, D.C., starting July 13 for a "people's accountability movement." On her blog, she said Bush's commuting the prison sentence of former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby was "the straw that broke my camel's back of exhausted ennui."
"I tried to remove myself from the political realm of the U.S., what BushCo is turning into an Evil Empire, but the blatant audacity of George commuting Scooter's sentence ... has dragged me kicking and screaming back in," she wrote.
Sheehan, who turns 50 next week, will sell camping equipment and other items from the site now known as "Camp Casey." Sheehan said she plans to keep some of the personal mementos, such as the large painting of her son.

Just when I thought I was out? They pull me back in.
yes. She did their bidding and was kicked to the curb when they no longer had use for her. But...she was warned. Now she ends up like a used up old sock. Sad indeed.
Who? Or who cares.
LOL!
Forgotten but not gone.
She'll probably do this like she did her hunger strike. She will have surrogates hiking for her in relays.
Will this be anything like her hunger strike?
Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan announced Wednesday that she plans to begin an "open-ended hunger strike" on July 4

Well, we’ve known this was coming for several years now. We would like to feel sympathy for this obviously terribly unhappy and possibly mentally ill woman, but she makes it extraordinarily difficult by her obnoxious behavior.
I know...that’s why I really feel pity for her.
Well, I hope the rain continues!!
Well, I hope the rain continues!!
LOL, maybe she’ll drown. Ooops, that was mean of me.....
