Out of Alaska.... on a lawn mower?

Yup! That's right... a fellow has been riding a law mower out from Barrow, Alaska to Mystic, Connecticut. This will give you an idea for how far that is....

Paul Woods had started out with his wife and his dog up in Barrow, Alaska, and headed for Mystic, Connecticut. His wife accompanied him on the roughly 6,000 mile journey until she had to go on ahead due to pregnancy, now (or at last as of news earlier this morning) Mr. Woods and his dog Yoda are trekking along en route to Mystic on the lawn mower where I hope the mower company meets him with, if not a advertising contract, at least a new mower. LOL
