Day 151
And here’s your standard plus-size model
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:
I like this one better!
A holding cell?
LOL !!
For prisoners with vertigo?
As someone suffering from vertigo.. that kinda sucks..
.. but the I’m not suffering side of it like 8 weeks ago and it’s improving and should be gone in a few weeks, says: hehehehe
No this is where you put Matt – after you remove him from the Matt Trap.
It looks like it keeps debris away from a culvert???? Beaver guard for a culvert???
That’s what I thought when seeing the sticks piled up like that.
That makes so much sense! Especially since we’re so close to Beaverton!! (that my current place of residence ;)
Hi Matt… I must say I have enjoyed your journey from the start. I am sure you are glad to see the Pacific Ocean but I am sure there are many of us who will greatly miss seeing the country through your eyes. I just turned 60 in June and I have a mortgage, kids in college and all the other responsibilities that come with the territory but I fully admit envying you and walking with you and your wonderful sense of adventure vicariously these past many months. Oh…there were many days I would have traded anything for your unencumbered freedom and individual sense of spirit and curiosity. Rock on my adventurous friend…enjoy your life!
Hey Frank it’s never too late. You can still see it all. Just have your kids push you cross-country on a Runabout for paying their college tuition.
frank thanks for the Vicariously! we all join you!!! amen brother.
And the winner is Cheesehead, uh i mean genius head, Norval. Them pesky Oregon beaver engineers eh?
Yahoo!!!!!!!! Hey Chris…Wait till the 18th of September. I’ll meet you in Portland for all the drinks you can consume! And, I’ll buy!!!!!!!!!! Minneapolis to Seattle to Portland to Albany in one fell swoop. How about it! Norv in Lacrosse, Wisc.
My guess is a repeat…..”oh, it’s another one of those.” heehee
A BIG one of those!
Toy Slayer….trap. but the beaver thing is probably right. Not alot of beavers around here..but there is one living in The bronx river, NYC by the zoo. Really!!
All,
This is a cage to capture debris from entering the storm drain. It’s fairly common in locations where there are a lot of branches, rocks, etc. that will be washed down during rainstorms and high flows. You can see from the picture where branches, etc. are against the face. Periodically, someone will come by to remove the debris.
