    It's been a scorching hot day. Not very much shade on the road and a really rough asphalt has made travel slow. Still got 50+ miles to go today.

    Posted: 3 Nov 2010 by TheBikingBrewer

  • Why don't you have it sent general delivery to a town down there? Then just go to the Post Office show an ID and get it. I used to do that all the time when I was hitchhiking about the country. Safer than what you're contemplating.

  • I'm good, was just taking a rest for about a week in Austin, TX. I'm on the road now, pushing southward, with a new twist - I lost my debit card! So I got at least a week with no cash. Gonna have my bank send my new debit card to a random person's address near the border... hope it works out!

  • Hey Amigo,
    They gave you free beer? Why don't I ever have that kind of luck? Walking about 12 miles a day now. The MacTavish doesn't want to go with me anymore, so I may have to find him a temporary home next summer. Found a Big Agnes tent on eBay and got it for 29$!! Got 3 new batches of wine fermenting. Life is good in the Glorious Buckeye State.

    Posted: 20 Oct 2010 by Nik

  • That doesn't look good!! How far from town were you when this happened? and what exactly did happen?

    Posted: 24 Sep 2010 by nik

  • @Nik - the serpent was amazing. It was simple yet so impressive. There is even a natural spring nearby where I filled up all my water bottles. Sleeping under the power lines was fine, but a bit confusing when I woke up because I thought it was raining! Cheers, thanks so much.

    Posted: 16 Sep 2010 by TheBikingBrewer

  • I was wondering if you would divert to see that or not. Glad you made it over there! Walked 7 miles today, the MacTavish was pretty worn out though

    Posted: 13 Sep 2010 by Nik

  • Forgot to ask; Was it any more or less comfortable under the electric wires?
