Illustration Description
The ghost of Peter Bruegel appeared to me last night and asked if he could be involved in the 700 Hoboes Project. He recommended this detail from the Fall of Icarus. I told him I would need to photoshop out the sheep.

Good Evening. This site is inspired by the writings of author John Hodgman and his book Areas of My Expertise. It is meant as an homage to the
wandering men and women who chose to ride the rails during and before The Great Depression, and not the contemporary urban (or rural) poor.
