Day 152
Oh hello there
August 25th, 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:
Finally!!
Where is Don in Tennessee Today have not seen post by him have you.
For some reason, if you open imjustwalkin for Day 152 the pix stop a bit earlier in the day — where Don had a lot to say. If you go to imjustwalkin and select 25 on the calendar, about 6 more pix appear which seem to be most current.
Oh yeah, I forgot, CONGRATS MATT!!
Don posted something about having a prior commitment to drive a church bus somewhere.
Yes, that’s what he’s doing.

Sign says business license required, Matt you had better get one for your walking business,
I think you will be doing lot of REP work about walking. THANKS FOR ALL OF THE MEMORIES.
What a time we have had, 5 months now the first thing i done every morning was go to my favorites

Well done! and welcome

Holy mackerel. I’m envious, excited, proud, and so many other things! Congrats!!! I’ve been following you since Michigan and I’m kinda sad to see the trip end. Amazing!!!!!!
I think there is a “Snoopy dance” sequence that should show up here…it’s just in my mind…but I know it’s out there…Kudos Matt…
Matt you are almost there!
And guess what?
Once you arrive and here is a Tsunami.. you’ll be warned!!!

Congratulations Matt! And thank you to the hobo nation for entertaining me since Matt walked thru Minnesota! You gave a glimpse of America not often seen. And this website reminds us how alike we all really are.
Congrats on reaching your “destination.” It has been a pleasure to follow your trip since May! The pictures, tag lines and insight into America were fantastic. I went on vacation with you!!! Hope you relax, dip your feet in the ocean and enjoy whatever life brings to you next!
