So I am in love with being on the open road, although I loathe flat tires, just as much as I love the road. It's a love hate relationship.Everything is all good until one of those tires goes flat.. but isn't that with everything in this world. Nothing can be 100 percent great all the time, there has to be some downfalls to even things out. The yin and the yang. Tomorrow will be day 16, which to me is insane. Where did the last half month go? I will be embarking into a new state and I can say I'm more than excited. Tomorrow I'll land in Utah! My fourth state overall. I started in Washington, went down to Oregon, headed East to Idaho, and now south to Utah. I think I'll take Utah by storm. It'll be a quick ride south until I hit Zion National Park!! Then onto the Grand Canyon! I could be okay if the project had to end after that, but I really hope the support last until I get to see Zion National Park. I've met a few people on the road, mostly all older people.. they share their wise words and I listen. I take in everything everyone tells me. New knowledge to me is a fortune, I always love to learn new things, and hear people's opinions and ideas.. maybe that's why I love Steemit so much, because that's what this site is, it is a place where people share their knowledge, opinions, and ideas. I am thankful for all the support I've been getting.. it truly means everything. The comments I receive, I read all of them. And I try to reply to all of them, but sometimes I don't have Wifi or service, or my phone battery is about to die. I do my best. If you ever need to get in touch with me, you could always message me on discord!
I've been having trouble recently finding reliable wifi, to upload my vlogs. I may have to start combining the days and do a compilation vlog of the trip that covers 2-3 days, but I'd still have to upload around 3 posts a day to keep the support sustainable for the project, which is tough as well. I will be hopefully uploading a q&a vlog tomorrow as well as today's day 15 daily vlog. I'll have to find a mcdonalds somewhere haha, god bless free mcdonalds wifi! 🙏🏻..
Some quick shout outs from last week (in no particular order!)
@beanz & @sirlunchthehost for having me on the podcast!

This project is more than just riding a bicycle 🚴🏻 across the USA while paying everything in Steem. This project lasts as long as I can afford it with just my Steemit Posts payouts. I want to get Steem and Steemit in the hands of as many people as I can in that time. I know for a fact, I have enough support incoming for atleast this next week, and that's all I can know for sure is a week out every week. If my posts don't generate enough this week, the following week may be a little hectic. So just in case, I'm going to be upping the miles on a daily basis, so I can go as far as I can! I'm so thankful for everyone's love and support, I've gotten more love than I thought I'd get, and more support than I'd thought I get. On day one I was afraid it may fail after that first week, in my head I thought, what if people don't get it? Or people just don't upvote? And I get stuck in the middle of Oregon. Well, tomorrow I'm about to cross into Utah, my fourth state and support seems to still be strong! My legs feel great, my mind is in good shape, and I'm very confident in this project! I just want to keep on riding until the wheels fall off!
It's crazy, I don't think I have ever slept so much. I sleep about 10-11 hours every day. I guess my body needs that rest with as much calories as it's burning everyday. Way more than its taking in!
I'll be honest I am missing my family, but I know it's all temporary. I'll see them very soon in due time. Now is my time, and time to achieve my goals, I love you guys, each and every person reading this. Yes , even you! Ha.
Peace be with you all. ✌🏻
The world isn't out there for you to just wonder about... so go and wander about..
If I could give you $100 worth of SteemPower per post I would dude. You are sooo freekin inspiring to me and I admire your hustle day in and day out for the #steemit journey. Most people couldn't do that solo like how you are! You are a badass for real! #100 @lukinsawyer #forpresident (:

Dude you got my respect! I learned about this wild ride from @karencarrens, a dear new friend I've met here on Steemit. She's put up a post and dedicated a portion of it to help keep you in water on the road...you can see it here if you haven't already >>> Hydrate Hydrate & Re-Hydrate
I read that wall of text...all of it. You're right about balance. I'm wondering how you carry all your gear. Heading into the Grand Canyon...looking forward to seeing what you have to show us while there.
How much water do you carry with you when you head out for a long stretch through no-one-around-ville? Do you ever drink from streams and such and if you do do you use something to filter the water?
I ask because it's likely you could become a paid sponsor for one of the companies that sell such things. I just woke up from a long 10 hour sleep because I obviously needed it. Being a new Steemian is a lot of work. Hahaha look who I'm talking to.
Just a few thoughts and tonnage of support. Ride safe!
