Check out http://www.imjustwalkin.com/ a very cool web site that highlights Matt's (see news story below) trek across America.
This dude is living my life! How cool!
hmmmmm.... could i??......
AVALON, Wis. – In these uncertain times, most of us cling to the things that make us feel secure. Those who have jobs give thanks. We hug our children a little tighter. We wait — and hope — for better times.
So when someone like Matt Green comes along, we shake our heads a little and wonder. Who is this young man, bearded and weather-worn, pushing a cart down a country road, mile after mile? And why would he abandon a solid career as a civil engineer — a roadway designer, ironically — to walk all the way across America?
"Good question," he concedes to those who frequently ask about his motives.

Unlike others who've made cross-country treks, Green is not looking to break a record of any kind. Nor does he want to draw attention to a particular cause. No, for Green, there's just something about the act of walking that makes him really happy, much more content than he ever would have been in his office cubicle in Manhattan, where he used to daydream about doing something epic like this.

Of course, in your dream Tod, you would be pushing Julie in the cart across country! Right?
On my dreams Julie would be walking beside me! Oh wow! I'm living my dream!
