Certainly there were points when you wanted to give up, and clearly you didn't, but I'm curious what was your most pathetic moment? Were you ever down on your knees crying like, man fuck this, what was I thinking?

Did you ever have any stray dogs or cats start to follow you?

Did you ever stop walking for a few days because you found a place you enjoyed so much?

Oh man that sounds brutal, I'm glad you persevered. I've always wanted to try to hitch-hike across the country (inspired by a hitch-hiker I picked up outside of St. Louis this summer), but now that seems too easy. Maybe tracing the steps of Lewis and Clark would be a better challenge for me, and also be neat as I've lived both near the end of the trail and at the beginning.

Another question. Were you working prior to this, and if so did you quit your job or what? After I graduate this December I have a semester and summer off before I begin medical school (assuming I get accepted somewhere), maybe I will try to go on some sort of adventure like this.
