This is the cart I'll be pushing across the country. It's a converted Runabout stroller made and generously donated by Roger Berg. Check out the whole photo album.
Photos by Jason Eppink, who also designed this site for me.
I'm walking across America.
That's the idea, at least. I'm walking westward from New York City for nine months or so. If everything goes according to plan, I'll be in Oregon when the clock runs out. If nothing goes according to plan, maybe I'll end up in Peru or Mongolia or Pennsylvania. You can read all about the details of my trip if you're so inclined.

Here's my progress so far:
If you’re going to do a glamour shot, at least wear a speedo.
the other hoboes are going to be soo jealous
Deer Mat,
You look like you should be naked in that picture. It’s very coy!
The before shot.
Matt,
The cart needs an orange safety flag (on a tall pole). You want to be highly visible to traffic…
-Emily
I have to second Emily with the safety-flag — what can I say, it’s my inner Jewish grandmother coming out (though I know you already have one of those). As to the rest of the photo, you look adorable. Oh, wait, sorry, that’s Bubbe-speak again… :)
Have a blast Matt!!
Hi Matt,
I’m a friend of Jason’s – have we met?
Totally thirding the safety flag. We all like safe Matt. Also seconding the speedo.
Hello Matt,
Hope that all is going well with you after meeting you today. I read you page and if I knew that you needed a hot meal, a shower, and a place to camp out I would have offered it to you. Matt you were only 3 minutes from my home. I wish I could do more. Wishing you all the best and success.
God Bless and be SAFE!!!!
Cynthia R. Griffin, MHS

Okay Matt, right now you’re somewhere in the Tillamook State Forest in Orgegon, and everyone is anxiously awaiting your next post. I just came back to the beginning of your journey to entertain myself until we see you again. And I see you already knew Roger Berg! I thought you just happened to meet him a few days ago. ;-)
You’re such a charming guy!
This is fantastic.
It was great to visit with you & Jeremy last night.
