This week, Lindsay has been spending a lot of time in Farmington, Georgia, talking to artists at the Farmington Depot Gallery, encountering the law, and exploring the area.
This episode features music clips from Jacob Haller's song 'I Wish That I Was Vegan' from his album 'Cabin Fever' and from the R.E.M. song 'Walk Unafraid' from their album 'Up'.
This week, Lindsay has a terrible day, sees an amazing sunset, stays with some artists at the Farmington Depot Gallery, and endorses Chelsea Handler for on-the-road listening.
Lindsay has walked across the entire state of South Carolina, and is now in Georgia! In getting to that, we talk about being stuck in a motel for a couple of days due to bad weather, plus a couple of great families who have helped her out this past week.
In addition to this week's developments, we talked a little about a couple of charities that Lindsay has come across during her journey. First, she talked to a veteran about the Saratoga WarHorse Foundation, which you can find more information about at http://www.saratogawarhorse.com/ .
We also talked about a partnership between Culley Carriers and Walking Tall: Free Haircuts for Homeless, who have teamed up to collect bagged lunches, gloves, hats, backpacks, and toiletries for the homeless; they want to get supplies for 100 people. For additional information, go to http://www.walkingtall.life/ . If you also want to help out the homeless people in your area, then that also would make us very happy!

In this episode, Lindsay celebrates Thanksgiving with some new friends, rides a camel for the first time, encounters a friendly drug dealer, and experiences some scares. You can keep up with her day to day adventures on facebook or on the lindsaywalks.com website.
As I write this, she's in Batesberg-Leesville, SC and will be heading west from there. If you, or someone you know, is in that general area, around Route 23, 378, or 1, in South Carolina out to the Georgia border, and are up for letting her crash on your lawn, or anything like that, then please get in touch with her or with her stepbrother Jake.
In this episode, Lindsay celebrates her 35th birthday at Gypsy's Village, meets some other helpful people on the road, makes Thanksgiving plans -- and walks a third of the way across South Carolina.
If you're going to be on her route, and might be able to offer her a place to pitch her tent, please get in touch with her on facebook! That's also a good place to go for day to day updates. She's also posting photos, and occasional blog entries, on lindsaywalks.com.
Lindsay has hit the road! She and Tim started driving down to South Carolina on Thursday September 10. This conversation was recorded a couple of days later, on her first day of walking, and she talks about dealing with rain, the pleasures of walking, and other things of note.
You can see pictures that Lindsay's taken if you click on 'Images' on the lindsaywalks.com web page. She's also been posting some things on facebook at and on Instagram.
