Outta Here

Compass Ash Grey T-Shirt
On this date in 1820 Captain Nathaniel Palmer becomes the first American to sight Antarctica.

Coincidentally, today is Take a Hike Day!

While we're on the topic of walking sticks, getting lost and compasses — of the moral variety — on this day in 1973, during the Watergate scandal, President Richard M. Nixon declares "I am not a crook."

Later, he took a hike.

To get your bearings, locate this T-shirt in the Strange and Unique section of the Yazooy CafePress.com shop.
