Mowing Across America

08/31/2021

4 years ago I made it home from Mowing Across America. I can’t believe how the time has gone by.

I am still in absolute awe at how all of you helped me all through the journey. So many people came together to make my hobo dreams come true, whether it was helping me find work, a safe place to rest, a good meal, travel recommendations, kind smiles and big laughs, or the encouragement I needed to keep me going. I think of you all every single day still. 🚜🇺🇸💕

And who knows, maybe I’m due for a another lap around 🤷🏼‍♀️☺️

My first week back was filled to the brim with hellos and goodbyes. I made it back just in time to see my little sister, Rachel, go off to college for the first time, attend Moriahs wedding, say goodbye to my ol pup Roxy, and send off my friends, Christine and Fletcher, on their amazing cross country adventure....I even mowed a few more lawns in between🚜

THE HOBO IS HOME WITH A VERY FULL HEART! Thanks for all the help ❤️

ITS DONE!!

One year and 65,000 miles later Mowing Across America has made it through all 48 of the continuous states, Mexico, and Canada! As I pulled into my driveway to see my family and friends waiting, I felt so many emotions. A year ago when I left I had no idea if this would work...but it was proven to me time and time again that you guys would make sure I was ok.
So many people stepped forward to give me a hand and Im grateful for every single one. I couldn't have made it without every ounce of support you guys sent my way.
I learned that for me home is about the people, not the place. I owe everyone who made me feel at home on this journey the biggest of thank yous. This year has been above and beyond what I could have ever hoped for and I am forever thankful for this beautiful adventure. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Thanks a million!!

Love,
Hobo Kelly
