Glad that you (hopefully) had a good time on the trip and that you came back alive.

Well if this is any indication of how it all went, I stand by what I said about how... there are things you and I would enjoy more than worrying about how you are running out of water in 104F degree heat....

The cool thing is you are most likely writing this yourself so you survived! Mad spoilerz

edit: if you truly came to NY then the ending should be you coming to my door, ringing the bell, and when I open it, saying "oh yea? take that bitch" but... I don't remember that happening unfortunately.

One of my good friends did something very similar, except he left from Oregon where we are from and took his Violin and played for money. It was a very amazing trip and the stories he had when he got back were very inspiring. Awesome that you did this!

This sounds great, and like something I would do too. You gotta give us more than this every week though. Even if the writing has to suffer in the interest of time, godamnit, give us more!

i am so effin pumped for the rest of this. I recall your post and those comments back when you mentioned this, tho i didnt pay much attention to it. The fact that you did it, and got to NY is astounding. I sure would do it. Hope it was worth it in the end! it sounds like it was.



I hope you kept up on pics ^_^

Well i hope you made a lot of interesting friends and met some people. The first thing i thought of when you were going cross country was...Bubble Boy, i don't know why but thats the only movie i can think of were some one is going cross country.

Also not everyone from NA is an asshole i'm sure there are plenty of people who will be willing to help someone.

Every Monday? That's a bit long if it's only 1 page every time.

Did you smell towards the end of your trip? I'm sure you didn't get to shower on a daily basis.

Yeah anyone who says he'd regret a trip like this is crazy. You won't regret it because either you'll have stories that will last a lifetime, that nobody can say they've had the same exact experience... or you're dead. Which isn't AS likely as you'd think.. Especially since he's Asian (yes, that does matter).

Your balls. They are large.

this dude's probably got a lifetime of one up stories for the bars now. This is badass.

however, my only comment is that the rules of the road are cash, grass or ass... seeing as you had no cash nor any grass........!!!

Awesome read You'll have no problem picking up girls with lines like "when I was backpacking alone from coast to coast....". That kinda trip builds lots of character, a good thing to have in life!
