I start my new walk in 36 hours!
Day -1
By the way…
December 30th, 2011
You may have missed the final post I wrote about my walk across the US. These are my thoughts one year after the completion of that trip. You know, just to keep you occupied before I start my New York walk.
4300 Amboy Road in Staten Island. Randomly selected starting point! Thanks to two friends with a car, I didn't know where I was until I took the blindfold off. This will also be the ending point of my walk in two years or however long it takes me.
And as a bonus, "New Dorp" is one of my favorite place names in all of NYC (although this address is not actually in New Dorp).
John walked a good chunk of Staten Island's streets as a Con Ed meter reader, and Brandon offered to throw a pizza party when I finish my walk.
How many 9/11 memorials will I see by the end of the walk?
Pratt breaks out this calliope, as well as some other individual steam whistles, every New Year's Eve. You can play a keyboard that is hooked up to the calliope if you want, but, as you have probably noticed, the whistles are a bit out of tune.
