This is copied from my new tumblelog which will be documenting the trip mentioned below.
Welcome everyone to my new tumblelog. I’ll be using this to document my travels across the US, and possibly other parts of the world. Right now I’m still in the getting ready process.
Within the next week or two I(and my friend Scarab) will be departing on a trip around the US. There is a very good chance that we will be hitchhiking a majority of the trip. It’s also really possible that we will be hopping trains throughout the south.
The purpose of the trip is the all-important pursuit of the American Dream. We are young and terribly aware of the Fear. We need more experiences in order to become the people we want to be.
Everyone has been super helpful so far. Here’s a couple of examples.
Dark Gracie posted this. Which has lead to several donations already.
$36 donated thus far. First to donate – BrooklynBeast
Sorenj was kind enough to post a link on his blog to the original note from Gracie.
Epiphani has graciously donated a Sony Vaio laptop for the trip.
Things are looking good, but we can always use more.
You can help by linking to me in anyway, or by donating. Send all donations via PayPal to jackstravelfund at yahoo dot com.
Thanks for everything and much love!

You know I love reading your blogs, so I hope you know I’m really looking forward to all of your adventurous updates. I think that life’s adventures are too important to avoid seizing upon them when possible.
And life itself is too fragile to sit back and let it pass you by.
Kudos for your sense of adventure, your go-get-em gumption, and for having the forsight to plan on blogging the whole shebang. You know this has been my vote from the start (does “pick a place, and go” sound familiar?), and that I, in my own small way, have chosen to travel & see as well. I may not be able to go to this extent, but I look forward to seeing the adventure through your eyes.
Much love.
