A distant inlaw of mine did this:
https://www.peteregger.ch/weltumrundung https://www.peteregger.ch/weltumrundung
He had some crazy stories, especially about walking across Siberia.
He's a bit of a character to say the least. He decided to cross the U.S. by walking down I-80 from SF to New York. On that leg, his most positive stories were about going through Utah. A church group heard about what he was doing, and would leave him little packages along the highway every couple of miles with a bottle of water and some food. I know he stayed a lot of the time in people's houses. Once people heard his story, they'd just invite him over.

- TimedToasts 4y ago> be the wrong race What race is that?
- Smoosh 4y agoPresumably, other than theirs.

- viridian 4y agoBad as that is, most people alive in the US weren't even born in 1978. Much as I don't gel at all with Mormons, I never really got the feeling they had any explicit racial beliefs. They definitely have a general air of discomfort when heathens talk about heathen things though, and you can tell they are never 100% at ease around the non-believers and they have to put on their public mormon face.
