There is some virtue in Ohio as Motivation for MicroShip.com guy to go
gonzo nomadic research labs/ Computing Across America
Sell book/ show gee whiz tech from bicycle, including swipe bank card, etc

Also nice Amish community as I recall passing through on way to
Sturgis, South Dakota.  More than one person(s) looking to send relatives
+/- selves out of there... Could be ag not city, but didn't stick around
long enough to find out, as had plans to be out further West...
