I'm still doing it, in Cali right now headed to San Diego. Oregon and nor cal was definitely easier to hitch than this area, but people have been nice. Trying to completly avoid LA

The gathering is over now

Do you facebook? Search for the group washington regional rainbow gathering. If not let me know i can give you more deets

That's good to know.. where im from they do not do that

You donate your used unwashed clothes? Not to squash your recycling dreams but they just throw those away...

This is literally my dream rn. Unfortunately im in seattle waiting for my man to get out of jail so we can head down the coast.. couldnt be there for a few weeks. Hope you find a dope crew though!

This conversation reminds me of an experience I had earlier this summer. I was flying a sign at a walmart i was sleeping in the bushes behind for a couple days, and right before that I got housed up so had recently showered, down laundry etc. An older traveling man (not a homebum) came up to me...

For anyone coming who is not familiar with rainbow, please please please do not spange in nearby towns, about a 100 mile radius. It makes us look bad and makes it harder to be invited back to areas in the future. I'll see y'all there

That is the correct location

It's the first week of July, will be held in oregon

Go to haight Ashbury when you get to San Fran, a lot of kids hang out there and I'm sure you could find a road dog if you wanted

I'll be there, love to meet you guys and hang out. I'll be hitching or have found a ride out of Portland to see camp next week.

Crossing my fingers for ya

I've had buddies fly a sign at Wal-Mart saying need boots, and do it barefoot. Both times they got boots in less than an hour. Shit, that's how I got my sleeping bag

Do you know if he goes by another name? Looks weirdly familiar, and I'll be hitching all over Oregon the next few weeks I'll definitely keep an eye open

I'm not sure what advice you're looking for.. verification that this woman might call? That you did the right thing by giving your number instead? If she calls you, then you'll know. It may take her a week or so to decide if she's gonna get a hold of you. Just stay open minded about the...

A tarp comes in handy a lot.. if you don't have a tent or bivy sack. I prefer tarp over tent just so I can be more stealth

Agree with getting as far out of town as possible. Although, I hitched right out of San Fran a couple weeks ago just to see if I could before I spent money on a bus ticket. So it can depend on what part of the country you're in

Try to hit truck stops as much as you can, pilot, loves, etc. They're usually busy and the workers will take longer to realize what you're doing and kick you out. I just walk up to folks while they're pumping and say excuse me, I just ran out of gas and was hoping you could spare a couple...

Damn, maybe move to a different city or just travel? I try to convince everyone to quit their job and travel instead. Your dog gets to be with you 24/7 and will behave a lot better

Alright here's the lightline with directions to the kentucky bluegrass gathering- 770 662 6112

I'll be being a bum in San Fran in a week or two.. let's meet up

I've traveled with my dog in a car and van the last two years and never had this problem. I recently got him a service dog vest off of Amazon so I could bring him everywhere with me and not have to leave him. I recommend this or getting him certified as an ESA

Hey I don't know the coordinates because I'm not going, do you have a Facebook? If not I can try and find out I know some folks who are going

Yeah that's just my luck, the funniest part is that it was right by salvation mountain and all these yuppies were taking pictures of the cop pulling us over, wish I could see some of them

Can I just say I find this poster personally hilarious because I got pulled over IN THE SLABS for riding on the roof of my van and my friend who was driving got a ticket

Welcomehome.org can answer pretty much all your questions..but I will say there's really no way to know what rainbow is until you experience it for yourself

Do you know why and for how long? I'm about to be hitching in that area

I love being alone, and I've traveled alone before and it was great. But that was two years ago.. and now I really am fearful of being alone. I have two amazing road dogs but I'm always scared of them leaving me to go do their own thing and that I'll be alone again. I don't want to be in a...

I just discovered that Trader Joe's has $4-$6 6 packs of dank beer so yeah that's fucking rad and pretty cheap

That is true.. the location is still being scouted and won't be announced until likely the week before

The 101 will be my first hitching experience in about a month from now! I'm super stoked and appreciative of all this advice

It used to be easy to get food stamps in WA.. but they recently passed the "able bodied adult" clause which makes it a lot harder even if youre homeless. Although if you can prove that youre consistently homeless you can still get them. Its worth a trip to the local office, which gives you $190...

Pretty much the same, I got a banjo three months ago and I practice whenever I'm not doing bum stuff or driving or whatever

Why are you going to join the military? You're so young. You should experience life some more before you commit yourself to something so time and life consuming.. in my opinion. Good luck out there!

There's the Cumberland gathering towards the end of next moth in Kentucky which happens every year and should be a great time, if you search bluegrass rainbow gathering on FB you could find the page

Wow.. glad to see you're alive and well. I just went to Florida to visit my parents and fix up my van, I fucking hate that state and just left this morning. Hope you get out of there soon and stay safe!

Just try to free food every and any place that sells food.. go through the trash sometimes if people see you doing that you buy you food or give you money, works better if you actually eat trash food in front of them (use your judgement on what to actually eat), dumpster dive, and getting food...

I travel in a 1976 Ford Econoline 150 custom conversion van. I've put about $1000 of repairs in it and it runs great. Has a bed in the back and lots of storage. I removed the back seats to make more room and put a cargo hitch on the back for even more room. There's a way to get gas for free...

Oh god.. I don't suck dirty kid dick as a rule because I know you motherfuckers don't clean yourself down there.. also wash your hands if you're gonna put em inside a girl

What this guy said

I love Austin, i was just there for SXSW a few weeks ago and we made sooo much money busking. Have fun there!

I spent damn near three months camped in that area this winter in Quartzsite.. I hate that place and don't plan on ever going back unless it's necessary

Just know that the spange in that town sucks.. and the town is filled with tweakers and heroin so be careful because cops are more likely to fuck with you just because you're dirty, oh and locals will try to buy drugs off of you

I flew the out of gas sign with the jug right in front of me at the station entrnace, sometimes people would fill up the jug, mostly would just give me cash. I hate spending money on gas but OR is one of those states where you just have too.

Seattle area has rainier beer, that's my favorite cheap beer but you don't see it anywhere but the northwest :( but I love love love IPAs, especially Sierra Nevada, lagunitas, and dogfish head

I'll be there in probably about a month, if we're there at the same time we can meet up. I'm with a good crew

As far as making money on the road, if you have an instrument you can busk, if not you can fly a sign. You can work odd jobs for cash too. Good luck! In my opinion Florida kinda sucks. Definitely check out New Orleans on your way west!

I started traveling because I was depressed and my life was boring. Everyone around me was miserable and only ever talked about their dumb bullshit problems. I felt like I was going to lose my mind or become an alcoholic if I stayed in my hometown. It didn't help that it snowed and was dark half...

Super cool!! Tell yer lady I say hi and she's looking lovely!! and give Katie a belly rub for me!
