Day 151
I wasn’t the only one swimming today
August 24th, 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:
Just catching up again!! I am so happy for you and sad like everyone else. I am leaving to go overseas shortly so will miss your grand finale ending. Will try and find internet when I land!
Congratulations and thanks to all the Hobo people out there! Too much to say too little time.
Be well all
Bye
What a pretty sight! Looks like a gorgeous day. Hope you enjoyed your swim Matt.
Could I be first???
Looks like a swimming hole that should be enjoyed….wish there was one close to me.
Enjoy the foot and body soak.
You may not have been the ONLY one swimming today but I’ll bet you were the most famous one swimming today! How many of those people can say they have an entire nation following them?
:-) :-) Like that!
yea michael phelps can’t hold a timberline to you.
I hope you had a friendly host family tonight on your last night on your journey. I wish I could be there tomorrow to celebrate with the Hobo Nation.
I went swimming today too in a lake… this river is soooo inviting.. I sure hope you got in it and enjoyed!!
Man, what a spot! You sure can pick’em. Nice.
I count 18 people plu Matt, is that correct, and they are there before Dinner.
Should have proofread.
The partay is already swinging.
Beautiful shot and spot! Wow. Gorgeous place to go for a dip in the creek. Really pretty.
Great picture of a summer day in August on the Wilson River. Memories…..
Them not bears swimming, but they sure are enjoying themselves. Ah a tent, matts tent? that is why no posts…enjoying a day in the river – if so you derserve it.
Another great view of Americana at its best.
But if you will notgice above water, they have started clear cutting and ruining beautiful places, like they are in
Alabama. Imagine what it would look like with all tree’s still there.
I thought the Pacific would be much bigger. Guess the tide is out.
Damn! We stopped and asked those people yesterday if they had seen you…around 3 pm-ish…no one had. Judging by the tree shadows we missed you by no more than a couple of hours. That sucks! I guess I’ll ask my question here: How are you getting back to NY?
He’s flying back, Vanessa.
NASA is installing wings on the Mattmobile to fly back!
This photo reminds me of a place in Townsend, TN just as you enter the Great Smoky Mountains National Park-at a place called the Y. At this intersection you go R to go to Cades Cove or L to Gatlinburg. Swimmers and tubers are always packed in here in the summer.
This is not as good a photo as I wanted but will do-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goEozOAQ6yI
I’ve SEEN that spot in person! :)
Looks like you are having some beautiful weather for your winding down…Lovely picture!
