Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums Chapter 31 in one sentence



Your assignment for today was to read Chapter 31 of The Dharma Bums and summarize it in one sentence. Below is my one-sentence summary -- post yours as a comment. I'd also love to see general comments about the chapter, or questions. Only 3 chapters to go!


The Dharma Bums Chapter 31 in one sentence:
Ray says goodbye to Christine and heads north on the morning of June 18, 1956, walking and hitchhiking his way through Eureka & Crescent City & Grants Pass & Portland & Vancouver & Olympia, he takes the ferry across the Puget Sound to Seattle, he is impressed by the unbelievable mountains of the Northwest, gets a room in a clean skid row hotel, shops at Goodwill stores after a good long sleep, keeps walking and hitchhiking north and starts to feel afraid as he is really in mountain country now, noting the torrent of the Skagit River and cliffs on either side,


Your next assignment is to read The Dharma Bums Chapter 32 and post a one-sentence summary.
