What are you doing?

To cut a long story short. I am riding my clapped out mountain bike from San Diego, California eastwards. I am crossing mountain ranges, deserts, swamps and forests and seeing the US for the first time. I have over 2 months freetime but very little money. I am what is known as a self contained cyclist that means I carry everything I need with me. Food, water, bed, house, kitchen clothes for all weathers, tools, spares, the works. It's a solo trip but I'm not on my own cos this country is full of people. :)
