Day 147
That’s a new one to me
August 20th, 2010
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:
Hmmm….that is very interesting…seems like something typical in Portland. :)
It’s certainly not rare! We don’t get big ones that often, but once every couple of years we’ll have a house or two fall down a hill.
I’m thinking if you’re standing too close and reading that sign, the landslide could be happening. Clear out, Matt!
run matt run………
Yes interesting indeed. But by all the mountains that are around there I can believe this. But this was posted at the beginning of June, isn’t it safe yet? That’s a long time to be on the look out for a land slide isn’t it?
Or, you can take this a different way and ask is this anything like a water slide? Matt-did you bring your bathing suit?
Maybe it should be bigger and fenced in, if a landslide is eminent…but since a landslide can come at any moment from a mountain side…maybe this sign is mundane…a mute point…a understood idea…etc…

NC has land and rockslides on I-40 over in the mountains. the latest slide shut down that highway for months!
Matt does not have months….he has a wedding in 4 weeks…(not his) ..get moving
Does “possible” landslide mean it could be happening??? and the sign is still up???
Better safe than 6 feet under mud, I always say.
P.S. Has Oregon any Kudzu – with their rainfall – whew – they’d be overtaken in minutes, if Kudzu ever gets a root-hold.
Jeff freaked me out with his “he’s got a wedding” comment. Man! Don’t scare me like that, I still think I have a chance, heehee. Several of us have temporary Matt crushes, and the fantasy will soon come to an end. ;-(
