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:
Too bad there wasn’t a rain coming by at th same time. 4 modes of transportation:boat, car, train& footpower.
I meant to spell TRAIN
When I was a kid, just for the fun of it, I spent several nights in an abandoned barge anchored in the river at the levee’s edge.
Having lived in New Orleans for many years, I saw this sight more times than I can count. It never gets old to me, and thanks for the memories.
I have never been west before but seeing your trip makes me want to go. It’s amazing how many friendly people you meet that want to help you. (I know I am blessed with so many friends who are willing to lend a hand, even those I have never met in person)
good luck and stay safe. I love following you on the blog and seeing your pics
These tracks are the route of Amtrak’s Empire Builder — which runs between Chicago and Portland and Seattle! I rode this train last month — my timing was a bit off I guess, if I had gone now, I might have seen you just walkin! :) The eastbound train would run past where you are each day at midmorning. Anyway, looks like you are having a beautiful sunny day in Minnesota. Wish I could walk with you for a ways!
BRAVO to all the kind people who have helped Matt along the way!!!!
