Day 17
An eagle tree
April 12th, 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:
In my experience, this is a common midwestern medium called “chainsaw art”. I spent a summer working at a camp in northern Indiana, and the guy who ran the grounds owned an assortment of these specialty chainsaws. I got to see a lot of his handiwork, as well as one of the best guys in the area working on a piece. I love the medium’s authenticity and lack of presumptuousness.
Yeah, chainsaw art is always at the Wisconsin State Fair!
