Hi Welcome GypsyJoe! Glad you found us. Your flea market site is excellent, growing up my friends and I would trek the hour to the Raynham Flea Market in Massachuetts. I checked and it's listed on your site. This was 20 years ago, I went last year for nostalgia and it was still good but not as good as I remembered. I still like checking out flea markets when I see one, I stop in.
Id love to see some links of your lawnmower adventure, that sounds like a ton of fun! Trips like that, it's always the people you meet that make it truly magical. Matt
I didn't do it!

You are fine here!! We probably all did things we could go to jail for just most of us didn’t get caught.
Now exactly how far did you get and what an awesome mower 17 mph!!!! I don’t know how fast my mower goes but it takes a whole day to mow here.

The record is 14,594.5 by Gary Hatter in 2001. Dixie Chopper the mower I was on claims to have the worlds fastest mowers. I wish I were in better shape as I have a company that wants me to go for it again with their mower. But alas I walk with a walker now and wouldn't be able to sleep out on the ground like I did in 2007. And would most definitely not be able to withstand -40 degree weather. If I could though I would definitely go for it again. https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/wor...mower-ride

People would come up to me and invite me for dinner or want to donate to me while I was on the mower or have their picture taken with me. Went to church one morning and after church was going down the road a car pulls up next to me honking its horn, a hand came out the window holding some money and passed it to me, no big deal except that was the first of about 50 cars in a row. One night in New Hampshire I had went to bed and woke up to something nudging me, opened my mummy bag it was a cop making sure I was all right, about 3am woke to something nudging me again and figured it was the cop again. Nope tore open my mummy bag and it was a moose pushing my bag with its snout. Another night woke up to something in my camp in Indiana sounded big, so opened my buck knife and jumped out of my bag. It was 3 youngsters I had seen earlier fishing in the river, leaving me a thermos of coffee, a bag of groceries and a tent since it was raining out. Even had a cop in Connecticut sign my book and want her picture taken with me on the mower. Yeah the people!!!!
