I was in the grocery store in Sedalia and got in line behind a mom with 3 young kids. She was purchasing a lot of groceries. She saw that I was purchasing a banana and a milk and told the cashier to add my two items onto her bill. Her kindness stunned me for a second and she told me to pay it forward. I took their picture as they exited the store, such nice people

These 3 stores were side by side in the strip mall with the grocery store 

I pawned some items from my bike and bought me a gun

People ask me where I stay at night. It is a combination of hostels, hotels, and campgrounds. The Transamerica is a popular enough route that there are a bunch of bike only hostels and campgrounds 

My Zpacks tent

Steve ClarkLooks tornado and lightning proof. Hope the tennis ball-sized hail bounces off.
