A Fellow Adventurer!

Many people have contacted me about my 

1000-Mile Great Lakes Adventures 

and they've told me about what 

challenge they are going to undertake. 

Many have sought me out to ask questions about the logistics of hiking a thousand miles...twice!

Recently, a good friend of my son, Ben, contacted me for advice.

Josh DeLacy is a thoughtful young man 

and he is on a unique journey.

From his blog:

The Mission

I am hitchhiking across America in search of stories, and I have some guidelines for my trip:

• No money: no cash, no checks, no cards.
• No interstates: stick to small towns and back highways.

Really? No money? No credit cards?
Yikes!

If you've followed my adventures, you know that if it's going to be a cold night and there's a B&B nearby, I stay at the B&B. 
They are delightful! They even cook you breakfast!

Josh is undertaking an adventure mixed with a social experiment:

Who will pick him up and give him a ride?

Will he be met with kindness along the way, or with anger?

How is America doing along the byways and almost forgotten places?

It's a brave and bold experiment and 

I've enjoyed following his journey so far...from Seattle all the way to Michigan...
