Yeah Mang, I took the advice of those I asked (including you!) and hopped out of Boston Bar to Kamloops, the got pulled off by the cops riding from Kamloops to Revelstoke, no ticket or anything so it was alright.
First time I was alone and a unit pulled up right in front of me, fucking luxury!
Second time was on a 53, my dog was sketchy about it so I'm not sure how many more times I'll be trainhopping, depends if the pooch gets more comfortable or not. It was a fuckin grand adventure though!
