Day 28
Two new Rs!
April 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.

I always thought that “Repair” should be in there somewhere. (E.g., repair your shoes instead of throwing them out.) It should at least get more emphasis than such abstract non-action concepts as “Rethink” and “Respect.”
Hey! I just got hooked up with your journey yesterday via a friend on facebook. Looks like you went though my street about a week ago and my hometown Lake City. I am on day April 23rd ( I don’t remember what day, I have it minimized) . I just had to let you know that I think this is totally cool. I love your take on things. I have a similar mind. I’ve shared this to a few similar thinking friends who I know would appreciate your journey! Got to get back to the journey man!! Enjoy your time in northern Minnesota!!
