The Lindsay Walks Podcast - Lindsay Walks Across America

This week, Lindsay goes on a road trip with a friend, sees the hotel from the Shining, and jumps off of a cliff.

This week, Lindsay stays with Heather, a fan of the podcast. Hi, Heather! Also this week, Lindsay encounters a couple of plainclothes police officers, has a close encounter with eels, demonstrates different types of car horn use, and ascends Mount Hood, while Cynthiana the dog hurts her ankle (she's OK now).

This week, we recorded on one of Lindsay's rest days, following a week in which she was mistaken (?) for a hippie, was given an unexpected tour of fossil country, battled a steep mountain, and put some money on Surfing at the Bar, Vernon the Cat, and Impulsive Kate. The question of what Hogwarts house a dog might belong to is also addressed.

We talked a bit about the Spoke'n Hostel in Mitchell, Oregon, which Lindsay recommends checking out and supporting if you find yourself in the area! https://www.spokenhostel.org/

This episode includes an audio clip from a Vox story about the 2016 standoff between the Bureau of Land Management and some Oregon ranchers.

This week, Lindsay channels Crocodile Dundee, is almost conquered by a hill, battles and/or welcomes bad cellphone service, and gets some well-deserved rest.

In this episode, there's some audio from a facebook video that Lindsay made. The original video is online at https://www.facebook.com/monroelindsay/videos/10200375284007179/

By the time you read this, Lindsay may already be in Oregon, the final state of her journey!

This week, Lindsay finds a friend's hat, gets a permanent reminder of her trip, goes to the movies, and hears some very interesting stories from Captain Harry of the Deadliest Catch.

One place Lindsay went to eat this week was Even Stevens, a chain of sandwich shops in Idaho, Arizona, and Utah that donates food to local non-profits. See if there's one near you!

This week, Lindsay has a hearty breakfast, organizes a search for a sports bra, and hears about a life-changing car breakdown. We also talk about the bonus episode with Barbara Lee (which I released last Friday and is at http://www.lindsaywalks.com/lindsay-walks-podcast/2017/6/14/meeting-lindsay-and-logan-bonus-episode-31a and on the podcast feed).

The whistle pig sounds in this episode were taken from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCibiJrk4_Q

In this bonus episode, I talk to Barbara Lee, who encountered Lindsay, Logan, and Cynthiana on a campground in Escalante, Utah last month.

If you think that America's national monuments are as important as Barbara and Lindsay do, then please consider taking action to protect them.  You can use this form to send a message to the Secretary of the Interior about it!

This week, Lindsay encounters friendly towns and less friendly towns, goes kayaking in the rain, and gets a little rest and relaxation in some hot springs, while Cynthiana the dog takes an unexpected swim. Lindsay's cell phone reception was kind of rough on this one -- sorry!

Look for a bonus episode in a few days, in which a special guest describes meeting Lindsay and Logan in Escalante, Utah last month.

Would you be interested in going to a live taping of Lindsay Walks in (probably) central Massachusetts in mid to late September, after Lindsay returns home? If so, let us know, so we can get an idea of how many people are interested in this!

You can reach Jake at podcast at jacobhaller.com, or Lindsay on facebook.

This week, Lindsay eases back into walking after her injury, eats an elkburger during a hurricane watch, and meets some horses, while Cynthiana takes a swim and tries to play with some chickens.

This excerpt includes an excerpt from Cheryl Wheeler's song 'Potato', which can be found on her album 'Sylvia Hotel'.
