Day 113
and this guy!
July 17th, 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:
Aww…how cute. He’s coming to greet you and welcome you to his place. Different to me to see a horse just out in the open like that. Beautiful place though.
Once again Matt you are being stared at by a four legged creature.
A noble quadrestrian
Yea looks like mother natures greeting Matt. I agree. But not so sure this was the Ped Xing we just read about.
IS it in the open or teatherd to a string.
Matt, now you have blown your secert to ALL of the women that you are a STUD!!!
Again; great photo and yes it is strange to see a horse in the wide open plains-but that is how it is in these parts.
Is that Black Beauty?
That is one horse that doesn’t have to worry about going hungry – from the size of those silos!
He looks like he is tethered, but to WHAT?
I used to do that to my horses I had when I was younger! I would tether them out with a braided rope made from hay bale string and a heavy duty dog corkscrew stake. I would tie them out to eat down the tall grass where we didn’t mow that often by the side of the road. You can see the homemade rope hanging from it’s halter.
Thanks. I thought it was just a piece of the grass around him sticking out like that. Had no idea it would be a rope he was tied to.
Brenda in OH,
Thanks for the information. That makes so much sense! I can see tall grasses near where the horse is tethered. As you can see, the horse is near the side of the road where it can eat the tall grasses. Thanks for your insight!
Thanks Brenda. What would I do without the ladys from Ohio. The real home of First Flight.
Ahh the ladies in Ohio, deep sigh perhaps you could relocate.
Brenda, I would like to ask you a question. I know you’re in Ohio but…….how long do you suppose they would leave that horse tethered out there? I don’t see any water buckets, or old water trough (not that there would be any water in it). But, I think that heat can get mighty hot for an animal without any shade.
Donna, that old barn to the left looks open and I bet he goes in there for shade and maybe even his water. Or at least I hope so.
It looks like he’s been working hard too, with lots of tall grass left to go!
A horse! OF COURSE!
Beautiful shot!
I wish to see rural America one day :)
Adis in Lithuania,
Welcome to the website! I saw your pictures on your website. You have some wonderful pictures of Lithuania posted. I’m glad you’re able to see rural America through Matt’s eyes now, and hope someday you can see it in person! His pictures are enlightening to all of us.
I checked out Adis’ site – but I can’t read it. I did see this beautiful image posted: http://helkathon.deviantart.com/#/d2tad4g
Dear Candice and all the others who are interested,
If you’re keen to understand what I’m writing about (and usually it about life in Lithuania or some shots from tourist routes in Lithuanian nature), you could try to read it via translate.google.com with option Lithuanian > English. But sadly, it won’t be very fluent, because I’m using live speech – informal words, unusual wxpressions etc. Just for shots, you are welcome to brows via http://adis.stent.lt/?cat=99
Thanks for a welcome :)
And yes, Matt’s pics are great and really interesting documentary ;) Keep going’, Matt!!!
Wow, Matt’s gone Global.
he’a been for a while
Been following Matt since Mid April when he walked past a gas station I was at. Have you seen any larger than deer wild life yet? Any wild horses?
I love this one. The deep blue sky is awesome.
I love that horses are lawnmowers….. now that’s going “green”!
