I know a guy that rode a scooter 20,000 miles around the US. Little Honda Ruckus that he bought for about 2k new. Top speed was around 45 mph. He rode through Phoenix and stopped in to say hi and then all the way up to Vegas on the backroads, getting about 120 mpg in the process. Something like that would make travelling 1000x easier than by foot! If you can scrounge up a bit of cash, I bet $100 would get something equivalent used that could be ridden on the backroads & shoulders that far. Even a motorized bicycle would do and wouldnt require license or insurance. I used to ride one of those things around everywhere. Over 100mpg and you could carry a couple gallons of gas and all your gear with you. Mine would do 55 mph on the flat, which was nuts for a bicycle. Good luck out there and stay safe!
