Day 144
Underneath I-84
August 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:
Does look like enough water for the fall chinooks:(
Matt that’s creepy and scary looking. But alas, once again where else would a good hobo be but under a bridge.
Amen, Amen it looks like a hobo home for sure.
HO BO BE BUT…..sounds funny phonetically
Ha ha, charlie. Good, funny catch.
Did you walk down here just to take a pic for the hobo nation?? It doesn’t look very inviting… go back up top and keep walkin’ :-)
I agree Dorinda. I am creeped out under bridges, especially after seeing the earthquake during the World Series in ’89.
Was this your sleeping area for the night or just a rest stop?
In Austin, that would house about 100 homeless persons and 1,000,000 bats.
Hey!! Another hobo from Austin! Totally right about the homeless and panhandlers, they’re out of control down here. Sheesh!
Almost every bridge I’ve been under (usually canoeing or kayaking, not living) looks trashy. There’s just something about them.
Welcome to the Hobo Hilton
Complete with,
Running water
Grand columns
Lush garden
Nature trail to and from
River view
Occasional Clamato beer can
I’m surprised there is no graffiti. Must be high caliber walkers hitting this trail.
