Me and my three pups found possibly the best over pass to call home. Literally in the middle of no where the only near by places is McDonald's , Casey's , and pilot's has station. Has water , shelter and rocks along with mud and clay. What y'all think ? Apparently they also grow corn in the field next to us . I'm getting slme Fallout vibes from this place

If you manage to find a few planks you can span the gap between the bridge girders and have a pretty sweet little loft. Looks like a nice quiet spot to me.

Will set up a bedding area with all are sleeping bags and woobies as well as a cardboard layer on the concrete. I'll move the giant rocks around to make some kinda wall and cake it with mud to keep the wind out. Will make a little fire pit outside of the walls for cooking and collect stuff for water purification. Also with McDonald's, Casey's and pilot's about a mile up the road that gives me access to more water , wifi , showers and dumpsters to dive. The nearest town is about 5 miles up and 15 miles south. Got a aldis and hy vees and some Avance homeless camps to rumage threw

If you have a bicycle, 5 miles and 15 miles are relatively trivial. I love the location. Stay warm.

Oh besides the corn fields I'm sure there may be some black berry bushes in the area too given this part of the country.

I think the nickname roadrunner the hermit will now fit .


As far as I'm concerned the world above me and my pups can go on with out us. I'll be perfectly fine with out it.

Shelter is coming along good. There's signs that some one camped under here before but seems like it's been a while.

That stream should supply a good source of crawdads. Turn the big rocks over slowly and pick them up for a crawdad tail meal.

There are crawdads at least as far north as St. Louis, but the ones here live in creeks polluted with radioactive isotopes that are the byproduct from the manufacture of nuclear weapons, and are thus unfit for human consumption.

You can catch crawdads anytime the water is flowing. And yes they are in the northern states too. Turn over a few rocks and take a look
