  • Segway Riders Will Roll Into Michigan City (At 10 Mph)
    THE TM 911 Franklin Street Weekly Newspaper Michigan City, IN 46360 Volume 20, Number 38 Thursday, September 30, 2004 Segway Riders Will Roll into Michigan City (at 10 mph) by Paula McHugh Consider this imaginary letter and ask yourself if it reminds you of something vaguely familiar: “Hi folks. Just wanted to let you know that I’ve quit my cor- porate job. I couldn’t stand another day in the cubbyhole culture. I’m joining some other friends who feel the same way and we’re planning a cross-country trip to experience what the real America is like. We’ll be traveling very slowly down the back roads for the next few months, and we plan to meet up with folks from all walks of life. We will be documenting our travels as we go and our plan is to eventually produce a feature-length documentary of our adventure.” Sounds sorta like Kerouac or Kuralt, doesn’t it? But read on: “We’ll begin our trip from Seattle in August and end it in Boston sometime this fall. We’re financing this through our own savings and by plastic, but we are looking for sponsors, too. By the way, we will be traveling by Segway Human Transporter (HT).” The letter above may be imaginary but the trip across America that Hunter Weeks, Josh Caldwell, Pat Armstrong, Alon Waisman, and Gannon Weeks are making is very real.
