49-Foot Bunyans

From hipster to hardened road warrior -- Mike Gallagher's trek across America ends in self-discovery.

I've got some serious dateline envy.

I'm reading Mike Gallagher's blog, TheWalk2010.com, and his latest entry was posted from Land of the Giants, California. Four months after leaving Philadelphia on foot he's living the dream.

A few things have changed for the former IT guy from St. Joe's U. since he walked up Second Street, hung a left on Washington Avenue and headed west, searching for something or other.

For one, he's on two wheels now – been that way since the Mississippi. He's lightened his load, picked up a few friends, learned something about character.
