A couple of days earlier than expected. More on that later.
Day 62
Starting across the Mighty Mississip
May 27th, 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:
Grew up in La Crosse! Beautiful area. Enjoy your walking thru the river valley!
Hey, I cross these bridges all the time! Good luck on your adventure! Sounds amazing!!
I love this big blue bridge! Just moved out of La Crosse. Such a beautiful area! Good luck on your awesome journey!
I absolutely fell in love with the area once I saw how beautiful it was! I still love the blue bridges that carry you to and from WI & MN. Hope La Crescent (MN) was a great experience for you. I know these people will bend over backwards for anyone including outsiders! Have a great trip and can’t wait to see more pictures along the way.
Saw your story on Yahoo and I’ve been looking at your blog for 4 hours straight now! The places you’ve been and the people you’ve met are all so interesting to see. Good luck on your journey and I can’t wait to see more pictures! Best wishes from California!
You are in beautiful country right now I grew up on the Mississippi. You should have stopped in Dubuque if you want to see a beautiful town on the river
Such a beautiful bridge.
Ha! Still no traffic, but that’s good for you, Matt, while on a bridge.
Beautiful bridges, good cloud cover for a long walk; hope it didn’t rain on you that day.
This one should be “Art #3.” The lines, the movement, the scale, the monotone color. Stunning!!
I’ve crossed that bridge a few times going back and forth between home and school when I was in college. Its an absolutely gorgeous place to drive through. Thanks for the pictures and the memories they brought back.
Love this bridge!
Ah, the old mogul and half-pipe, or at least that’s what i call these bridges.
