Day 46
Impact attenuators
May 11th, 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.

May not be so unusual.
They may be filled only partially, with what looks like a false bottom.
Usually the leading end is less filled than the trailing end.
Then again, the may just be empty, lol
Keep it going…….
ohhhhh i hope no one gets injured (or worse) because it’s not properly filled :((
