Hell, and we think truckers sleeping in a truck stop are a target for ner-do-wells.
This guy doing something like that these days would really be asking for it.

I wonder if he could lock the door from the indiside.
I also wonder if he locked up the bike wherever he happened to park at night.
Rode 1,200 miles to Boston...from where?

I think if he'd been anything but an 18 year old he would not have found that very comfortable! I wonder where he kept the postcards he was selling to finance the venture?

From the sounds of it, from HERE! https://www.mapquest.com/directions/m...&2s=ma&2z=&r=f

Pretty darn close to advertised miles. & depending on when this add is from, the MIGHTY Mackinaw Bridge may not have been built yet, so he either went by way of Chicago, or took the ferry across the Straights of Mackinaw!

Folks do this today... e.g. there is a man who has traveled all over in his bike-rv, he's been in Portland for a bit now...
