Bob-O, out of everything you wrote, in a way only you could write it, I have to question the following statement:

I know of few people,,,, wait, I can't think of anyone who would dream of spending 5 weeks with an insurance yo yo !
And hitting mostly southern states before heading north, including the swamps of Louisiana, I can imagine Fatih (and myself) will run into our fair share of rednecks!
Back in '08 a buddy and I were travelling through Nashville at the same time Vanderbuilt Univ. was having their graduation and we couldn't find a hotel under $200 a night. So, we found the most civil looking person at a gas station and asked if he knew where we could find a cheap hotel. The guy looked about as normal as you could find, but when we asked, he said "My cousin Bubba is right over there, go ask him, he should know"... .Yep, and there he was, one strap down on his overalls, with no T-shirt, waiting and willing to help!
Yet, even once we travel north, if there was a chance we could spot Sparkie, donning his fishing attire while fishing the banks of his pond in the rain, I'm sure Fatih would think at that point, that we had seen it all! (although, that would be PRIOR to meeting you, Bob-O )
There is so much on this trip that we're leaving to faith, hope and chance; that the weather will cooperate, we will both remain healthy and safe, that we can meet so many of you along the way,,,,, and that he can tolerate an insurance yo yo for over a month!
Fatih's adventure begins one week from today, and I hope you will all join me in praying and wishing for him a safe and successful 45 day journey in the great USA, and a safe return to his home land!
Keith (insurance yo yo )
(edit @ 3:15 PM) Bob-O and I have shared many PM's regarding this trip (all respectful, pleasant and in fun), and although we have not personally met, I was in no way offended by his remarks. I wanted to add this as others may perceive it differently.
