Day 147
Scotty welcomes Matt
August 20th, 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:
It looks like Scotty was fairly confident about your route down this sidewalk. Thank you, Scotty!
Now that’s the kind of welcome all of us would like after 3000 miles or so…and they gave it to you Matt…great…and IN COLOR too…that’s great…
Great job Scotty, I love your chalk art.
Way to go Scotty! Thank you for the colorful welcome!
Does the long line above the sign end with an arrow pointing to their house?
What a colorful welcome matt, or is it mat? Great job Scotty and hope you enjoyed meeting the head of the Matt Green Hobo Planet.
Way to go Matt… …About 100 more miles left! Then are you turning around and walking back????
Hi, Pedro. Matt will be laying his 3rd pair of boots to rest and hopping a plane home.
Great job Scotty!!! I love the artwork!!
Thank you Scotty for the cool welcome sign
I think somebody was excited to see you?! This was his way of making sure you didn’t pass by their place and miss them. Great welcome there to Portland.
WOW. Scotty, you poured your soul out on the sidewalk. What a great thing to do! Great job!
Good work Scotty, great sign you could show those people on division blvd how its done!
Is anybody else having problems getting the videos to come up? So far there are two of them that I saw like little black boxes and comments made on the page but the video pages won’t play.
The video is entitled “This gloom on my soul” But it isn’t complete yet I guess. There was another one to that said that Becky and Mark played music for Matt. What’s up?
(sorry- it’s Betsy)
hehehe good work! I’m sure Matt was smilin’ ear to ear.
now that’s a ” WELCOME- Matt ” – that is awesome!!!
Too cute for words. Sometimes, kids say it best.
That welcome “matt” is E-P-I-C!!! :)
I can’t believe you’re almost THERE!!! Congratulations!! What an amazing journey.
Scotty rocks! This needs to be framed, along with Emma’s paper towel art.
Adorable, and how thoughtful.
How about the “portLAND”…I thought that was great…wonderful Scotty…and in color…wonderful…
I love the way the peach-colored line takes a turn up the sidewalk to Scotty’s front door. I bet he met you with a big smile and hearty laugh!
What a nice welcoming sign. Glad you found the right place! :)
Its nice to see that the things Matt is doing appeals to young people also, what a heart this kid has. You can tell by this that his parents do things with him as a family, when so many families do not do this anymore. NICE Job Scotty, THANKS Raymond
Whooo, you’ve made it!
excellent!
i wonder how many people will be waiting for Matt at Rockaway Beach? Jeff would you happen to know?
Thanks, Scotty. Your art work reminds me of some chalk art by Matthew in our driveway a while back!
What a nice surprise to have a sign made especially for you!! Remember the first carboard sign for Matt?
