Again.
Day 117
Crossing the Missouri
July 21st, 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:
“Across the Wide Missouri”
Away I’m bound away
‘Cross the wide Missouri
The water is wide
But I can’t cross o’er
Give me a boat
To take me home
My true love waits on yonder shore
So far away so all alone
But love is gentle and love is kind
And love can soothe a lonely heart
The more we seek the more we find
Love keeps us strong though we’re apart
For it’s many long years since last I saw you
Away you rollin’ river
And still I know I have not lost you
Away I’m bound away ‘cross the wide Missouri.

Congratulation! You go, young! Here’s a video to go with the lyrics: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPSuJfLGKGQ

Very nice and fitting, keep it going!
I see you aren’t the only person crossing on foot!
LoL that is about a five minute walk from Alan’s house. Well, okay maybe ten minutes.
