You guys have a big fan base that's constantly growing. This thing is getting pretty big. I've shown it to multiple (deserving) individuals and they're all perplexed with The Mississippi Project. I check the blog periodically and try not to miss your stories. Just wanted to wish you guys the best and truly hope you get to New Orleans. <BR/><BR/>¡Que les vaya bien!<BR/><BR/>-FernandoFernbashkethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16396923680332149289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802797022065757550.post-34673067832381359822007-06-18T22:19:00.000-05:002007-06-18T22:19:00.000-05:00Hey Gabe and guys,I showed your blog to an 11th gr...Hey Gabe and guys,<BR/>I showed your blog to an 11th grade girl planning, once having graduated high school next year, to get her license as a cosmetlologist so she can make lots of money.<BR/><BR/>I let her read your last post here, while surfing on TacoBell's free wifi. She began to get absorbed in your introverting, and her reading showed much greater depth than I got from reading the same entry. I encouraged her to compare with an earlier blog entry, but she made me read that to her.<BR/><BR/>I now chuckle at my reading your writing how each miss whasername 2007 - 2006 - 2005 threw a ball in a baseball game, now wondering what cosmetologist made what big money for their makeup and nails, for that 0ne big beautiful event of their lives...which barely got an honorable mention in the blog...<BR/><BR/>When the cosmotologist wannabe here at TacoBell got absorbed in the depth of your writing, so much that her fascination with her outer 1/8" paled in comparison, that during her reading outloud to friendly, critical, adult, 51YO stranger, her stammering became clear, unbroken and as emtionally deep as the murky waters you were stirring...<BR/><BR/>I have to laugh, and maybe she'll find a better future than preying on the vanity of others!<BR/><BR/>Suffer much and drink deep now, and just remember - you could have gotton blisters handling a pair of scissors for the rest of your lives!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03086221624701841397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802797022065757550.post-63981700427111422422007-06-18T18:49:00.000-05:002007-06-18T18:49:00.000-05:00Bravo for continuing on your odyssey!I am glad you...Bravo for continuing on your odyssey!<BR/>I am glad you got tips on girls, glad that Ryan got a cowboy hat ( after all he was born in Houston, Texas) and superglad you will soon take a shower!<BR/>I would like a map also!<BR/>Are we demanding or what?<BR/>Have a good evening on the Mighty One.famille stoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607288887428309314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802797022065757550.post-12305369664047361992007-06-18T18:18:00.000-05:002007-06-18T18:18:00.000-05:00I second Peter's motion.I second Peter's motion.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336885618702109729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802797022065757550.post-85729844695155233792007-06-18T15:25:00.000-05:002007-06-18T15:25:00.000-05:00Gabe and MP,First of all great to hear you guys bo...Gabe and MP,<BR/><BR/>First of all great to hear you guys bouncing back, not that I didn't know you would but still. <BR/><BR/>Secondly this may be too much trouble but I think it would be really cool for your growing fanbase to be able to track your progress with a map you update somewhere on the website. Maybe its just me and my public school geography education but I think it would be neat.<BR/><BR/>Oh and Gabe I sent you an YAKL email to your gmail.

Oh yes, the adventure you are living is one that triggers imagination and that helps us plan our own life-learning experiences. <BR/><BR/>Keep enjoying the trip! I might not follow it as closely anymore: I'll start my own adventure in 12 hours, but will sure be thinking of you!<BR/><BR/>Peace!<BR/>Gabie<BR/>P.S.

Same two in same canoe or do you mix it up? One big tent? You often speak of getting rides "50 miles away", etc. Does that mean canoes and all? those rides would be hard to comeby. Gabe, you said it and you were right. You've got us all planning an adventure, even us old ones. thanks!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08336885618702109729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802797022065757550.post-11706749870213071892007-06-18T13:28:00.000-05:002007-06-18T13:28:00.000-05:00So glad you're all back.

Just wanted to let you guys know that my whole office is following you guys, as well as my family. You're right, it is an inherently American act, and I think we all wish we could do it ourselves. I'm sure the sights are something to behold, but the humidity is something else. Hang in there, and remember that sometimes the hardest acts are the most worthwhile.NorthStar12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02292919510407010150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802797022065757550.post-10851661570265381692007-06-18T12:13:00.000-05:002007-06-18T12:13:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.NorthStar12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02292919510407010150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802797022065757550.post-25898798925508217462007-06-18T11:11:00.000-05:002007-06-18T11:11:00.000-05:00From Paul Hendrickson: Dear Gabe.

I just wanted to throw in my support in as admiring a way as possible --and to say, at the sametime, that<BR/>you guys have already succeeded in ways that most of us never could. Please remember that. I think the terrible ups of this trip can only be matched by its horrible downs, and if the latter outweigh the former, well, you'll come to that<BR/>decision and recognition on your own, with your mates. I had an old Jesuit teacher who used to say, "If anything's worth doing, it's worth doing badly." Get it? I think You do. I say again, Gabe: I think you've already succeeded brilliantly, heroically, and for me, at least, part of the victory and heroism resides in how honest you're being currently about your emotions. You're just putting it out there, and that is beautiful. So many nights in my life I have<BR/>wondered if I'd ever get out alive of the book I was (read "am") currently bogged down on and with--and then, in the morning, some new and unexplained ray of strength would come, and I would find that I could go on. But not always. I think you know I completely gave up on a book once, only to re-find it a half dozen years later, after another one in between. Please go forward on this trip for all the right reasons, none of the wrong ones. You have not the least thing to prove to any of us. As I say, you and your pals have already accomplished something of large imagination. I, for one, am prouder of you than I am able to<BR/>say, so I can only imagine the feelings of love and admiration and pride that your parents--all your parents'--must feel.<BR/><BR/>Best to you, man.<BR/><BR/>Prof Hendricksonjamie-leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326574183554179387noreply@blogger.com
