New stroller!

My stroller's front wheel stopped spinning yesterday which slowed me down terribly. I had to get a new one yesterday and I elected to get a new model. Its pretty much the same but this one matches my backpack! I'll post a picture soon.

Sorry for the absence

Very little has happened in the last 4 days so I haven't really had anything to post lately. Sorry. I'm on my way to Kansas City

Google maps stinks

Usually I just walk until I'm tired. Sometimes though, I'll have a destination in mind. I use Google maps to figure out if there's a nearby campground or hotel. The problem is that sometimes the places I want to go aren't where the application says it is. For the past 3 nights, I've had to walk at least 3 extra miles to get to my destination or to backtrack to a different campground.

I'm more than a little annoyed so this is a bit of warning. Be very cautious about using maps to navigate if you're walking

Leaving Sikeston

I didn't make much forward progress yesterday because I had a hard time navigating Sikeston but I'll make up for it today

I was in the paper!

Reelfoot lake state park

A nice view for one of my last days in Tennessee. This lake is huge.

Good bye Jackson!

I had a wonderful time spending the 4th in Jackson. I met a lot of great people and even got interviewed by the newspaper but sadly I must be off. Next stop reel foot lake
