every day to keep sane:a walk to remember...

i remember some places that actually have no name,but these places have various great memories for me... i have walked over this country,just being a hobo,and doing things that really seem impossible... walking in rural Arizona,Nevada,Colorado,Utah,New Mexico,Texas,Idaho,Wyoming,Kansas,Missouri,and Nebraska,along with Oregon,and Washington would fill my mind with gorgeous images... i just made a partial list of places,and it was at least fifteen places,and that was just in the Western United States... i have seen Hoover Dam,Grand Canyon(south rim,in a blizzard),Lake Mead,Lake Powell,Page,Arizona,and Zion Canyon... i have traveled to 28 states(23 of them,while "on the road")... i have seen every major ocean,in the U.S.,and i was to tell you about nearly every place that i am now remembering,i would be writing until hell freezes over(laughing)... in the Eastern United States,walking in rural Ohio,West Virginia,Virginia,Pennsylvania,New Jersey,New York,and Connecticut was also memorable,because i remember walking one night down U.S. 1(Boston Post Road),west of New Haven,in May-June,1998,stopping to watch a midnight showing of Star Wars I,then trying to find a place to sleep on cement,but it was very,very cold,so i started to walk in the dark,down U.S. 1,and as the sun was coming up,stopping at a Dunkin' Donuts,in a stretch of car lots(down the road motors,as you would say)... i stopped short of Stratford,parked myself on a park bench,and fell asleep... i got awakened by a softball team practicing,after about a hour of sleep... i then shagged flies for the team,had fun,and got home,to Sacramento,with help from an "angel",who was a member of that team... i told you that story earlier on this blog... i remember time "on the road" quite fondly,in many ways,because i traveled a great deal,and did things that seemed to be impossible,but were very memorable,and fun... 50,000 miles on my thumb,well who knows??? every day to keep sane...
