at the end of the day its your own personal journey and no others, so our comments should have zero impact on your passion. If this is truely your dream make it happen on your own, afterall its YOUR dream, and not anyone elses. Find a way to shift the focus on the adventure and the unique people and circumstances you will experience along the way rather than about money. You have found a way to pay for college, so if this is your larger dream find a way to pay for it too. Even if you dont, who cares, in the end these are just opinions and none of us will be making the difficult journey with you so its your cross alone to bare. Good luck and safe travels.

i applaud this freestyle sense of adventure that the majority of us will never experience. however asking for money for filming a documentary he is already likely going to make money on does seem low. Getting a free ride across America seems like a good deal in itself, why then ask for money on top of it? And a gazette article to help promote you getting free money for a trip you want to make anyway? what is the investment benefit to the public for donating? Shouldn’t you be asking for funds from a production company? rather than leeching from your own community? I myself am working on a similar project and although i could conceivably beg for rides across America and into the wilderness i could never imaging forcing my local community to pay for it and then to potentially make a profit from my adventure that would not be shared with that community. My critique is only on the donations, NOT on the adventure aspect which i find amazing.
I just read your explanation for the donations, in my opinion perhaps you should hold off on your adventure until you can afford the necessary supplies rather than burdening others with your own expenses for your odyssey/vacation. All of my adventures across America and into the wild are funding by myself alone.

wish something exciting like this would happen around here. I remember hearing stories about 8 years ago regarding sightings of the "Rock Ness Monster". Unsure if true, the source wasnt very credible.

On Wis. city's equipment fails to tape mystery booms

I spent the night there last night camped out in my rv. We were there from 11pm till 3am, then camped out on the street (epicenter) till 9am. I heard/felt nothing. However I did notice a profound smell of methane (possibly sulfur gas) at different times throughout the night. My theory and after speaking with several locals is that is it trapped gas being released underground and shelves collasping from the lack of pressure of the escaped gas.
On Vibration, booming sounds reported in Clintonville
Posted on March 19 at 11:01 a.m. ( Suggest removal )
Vibrations and underground noises are very common in the western desolate towns where supposed paranormal activity occurs. Interesting there have been alot of ufo sightings historically in this region of Wisconsin and this recent rash of noises fuels the notion that this may be a hotspot. My guess is the noises will continue for another month and then vanish.

Honestly it wasn't my point to take away from your article Ryan. Congradulations, and I'm sure your journey won't dissapoint! Any inspiration from the documentary "ThumbsUP America"? (one of my favorite movies)
