Day 150
Footstand!
August 23rd, 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:
Take a break – re-tie your shoes!
Is it for scraping your boots off? That’s handy.
I’m guessing it’s a step to reach the hooks to hang whatever sign goes below Snow Zone.
I guess so John. The sign lets motorists know if they need to use chains or traction tires .. http://www.oregon.gov/ODOT/HWY/REGION4/snowzonechains.pdf?ga=t
Thanks for the link Gigi, that’s pretty interesting. I had no idea there would be requirements like that.
Gigi I think I need your email… so when I’m reading something I don’t know about you can link me up with the information! You’re always on the spot with the ” current need to know”… Thanks!
You’re welcome Roxanne. You can get my email from Jeff at mattwalkingpool@yahoo.com
It looks like such a short sign though…
is this what scientists mean by the ‘snowzone’ layer?
it’s a steppin’ grate “take a load off ya feet/butt scratcher” combo.
It’s a bare butt scratcher. I mean bear!
LOL ! Good one Karin I like that.
Just luckily you didn’t have to chain up:-)
Okay, I don’t get it. Is it for the elves that live in the woods to put up the signs or what? Or is it if the snow is over that thing you need to chain up? Scrap the snow off? Maybe that’s it, scrap the snow off your boots in the snow zone!
The town put it there for Matt in case it realy took 9 months? What – No….oh I tried.
“Snow Zone, please wipe your feet before entering.”
