Even more fun fact - the taxpayer money that will likely eventually be used to rescue this person, potentially saving their life, is an infinitesimal waste compared to so very many other things. I’m not ever going to shame someone or expect them to be billed/prosecuted/etc for their rescue unless they criminally broke the law in order to arrive at that state. (and maybe not even then)
You’ve just triggered a memory. Something about vehicles zooming around Lego Island. Were you able to get out of them while they were moving so that they kept going?
Oh I have no idea, I remember very little of that game. Something about a helicopter crash and a race you had to use the skateboard for. It was the fastest vehicle.
I mean he should get to the East Coast around 70 days from now, what are the chances he’ll see snow before January 30th. Guess he can turn around and ride back through the Appalachian Mountains in February. No snow there right?
Fun fact: mountains are big.
What about small mountains tho
You keep your mouth shut
Aren’t those hills tho

Not-so-fun fact: He’ll have to be rescued with taxpayer money
Another fact: Society failed to educate him properly using taxpayer money.
Perhaps society deserves to face the consequences of its actions.
I agree with you and have even more to add -

You can only teach someone as much as they’re willing to learn.
He has a skateboard though
Probably will find a half pipe somewhere.
Mountain valleys are nature’s halfpipes writ large.
And the skateboard is the fastest way to get around Lego Island

I don’t believe so, no
Boring facts: The highest pass he’ll have to cross on his journey looks like this:
If he’ll have to be rescued, then because someone ran him over.
Meanwhile a normal mountain pass in the normal world:
What does this mean?
Do you see the picture? What’s confusing to you?
Probably that the US is No. 1 in paving straight over every available surface. And that they will move mountains to do it apparently.
That’s just the section of the map for drift challenges
Could also get snowed in somewhere or unable to get to shelter during a major storm.

For what its worth: He made it to NY today. No rescue required. The community helped him out along the way.

Awesome! I’m glad they made it. I’d never dare to set off like that without a huge backpack stuffed with a week’s worth of food
