Day 137
This is!
August 10th, 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:
what a find…. oh I get it… a sign actually…ha ha…
That’s our clever Matt….here he is at the end of his day and walking 20+ miles and he is still creative and witty! What a guy…
take the box for souvenier tshirts at rockaway beach…..leave the rocks for the next walker.
Did you go to where the arrow pointed?
Yeah really Matt, did you go to the yard sale? Never know what you might’ve found there.
Kinda funny… looks like they were digging that crap outta my jeep.
Powerade mine, “bug juice” my daughters and the cokes the ol’lady’s.
Strange….
It really is clever…both sign and trash receptacle. They are advertising and doing a civic duty at the same time (provided they actually go pick up their boxes when the yard sale is done.)
Well at least the trash isn’t on the street, I guess.
This Rock-in-a-Box method of advertising yard sales is quite popular in areas of the country where trees are sparse. Never saw this used on the east coast.
This idea seems to be popular all over the country, though I also found a couple of links about them being banned now, too, unless they are on private property.
