Times Argus: Vermont News & Information

Times Argus: Vermont News & Information: "Travlndude's cross-country trip for charity – on a beefed-up lawnmower – might have been cut short Friday in Montpelier.

Louis Ransom, aka 'Travlndude,' of Fife Lake, Mich., has planned a year-long, 33,000-mile world-record ride around the United States to raise money for two charities, the Children's Miracle Network and Shriner's Hospitals For Children.

His vehicle of choice: A big, fancy lawnmower – with a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour — touted as the fasted lawnmower in the world.

But right now, his lawnmower is not going anywhere fast, or slow."
