Have you ever heard of Thomas Nast? Neither had I, but after doing some cold-hearted negotiating with a DIFFERENT Thomas, this image from a distant century spoke to me across time. And, also, influenced the next location in my travels.

But first, my bank needs to let MY money flow freely, so that I may take a bite of that rotten, east coast fruit before checking out some important Pennsylvania locations. Ya hear me, Clearwater? Or are you too busy paying the Missoula Current advertising dollars?

I did midwest, southwest, westwest, then northwest with a car. The next phase will take a plane, a camper, and some nerve for an attitude I’m not too keen on, if my limited exposure to east coasters is any indication.

But don’t worry, east coasters, I’m leaving the Zombie Blade I packed on the streets of Portland at home.

Below are the links to the week’s posts. I’ll continue updating, as I’m able, during this next phase. Don’t stop scrolling after the links and customary request for donations because I have a song that will eventually have a video to accompany it at the very bottom. Now, links:
