Oh yeah. I got stuck in Staunton for 3 days during the summer. I was chillin at the Sheetz near the walmart working on a new sign when i finally got a ride

I'm beside myself over this. It happened SO close to where I live...I wanted to meet him and maybe even ride with him one day. Does anyone know exactly WHERE it happened? I'd like to make a little memorial if possible. I can't believe it...T_T

Next is in March I'm hitting the road again in my bike, with changes to my supplies to make the trip possible. I have so many places I want to see and I ain't gettin any younger

Finally decided to type this up from the writing I did during that very short, but overall successful experience traveling for the first time. First Day: Started okay. About 10 minutes into my journey, I was walking up a very long hill. Someone with a pickup truck stopped and offered me a ride...

Hey Tude, any chance I can get pointed in the direction of those who successfully travel with a cat? I've got a 6 month old kitten I'm tryna take with me on the road next year and I want as much experienced travel cat advice as I can get before I risk it. Currently working on training him now

Big surprise....not....I know the deck is stacked heavy and always has been, but I feel like Bernie has something up his sleeve for the convention. The man is brilliant and has been playing a rigged game of chess and pretty much winning despite what the MSM keep shoving down our throats...

Finally got picked up after I had walked from one side of hagerstown to the other....about 6 miles on already badly blistered feet. It sucked lol

The trip to PA, I turned around because I had severely overpacked and couldn't pedal on level ground for more than a minute before I had to take a break. The hitchhiking trip I got stuck in hagerstown, md. I couldn't get picked up for shit. Had horrible blisters and a too heavy pack, so I...

Not exactly. I've tried a couple short weekend stints last year. Hitchhiked about 80 miles northwest of Baltimore, got stuck, turned around and came home. Also rode my bike up into PA for a couple days. Got just a few miles over the state line and stayed there for a bit then turned around

I live in Baltimore, MD. I have all my gear, but I'm having a little trouble getting out of the area. There's hills everywhere and they beat me down and kill my motivation. Would be nice to have someone else to ride with to help keep the motivation up.

This kind of idiocy is precisely why the USA broke away to become it's own country 200-some years ago.

Well that's kinda not cool.

Lookin forward to it. Snowmageddon 2016 XD I'm right on the eastern edge of the worst of it. If it tracks east I'm gettin 2 feet+

I'm very much interested. What's the plans for it? Give us some details

Sounds to me like you've already made a decision, you just don't want to outright say it. So I will. If he's causing you that much trouble, and is being a drag on you living your life, send him packing. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life, especially not when it affects your...

Getting laid would be nice -_- Or my bike to be working properly

Sad part is, this doesn't surprise me a bit. And I'd bet anything that when they get searched, the cops will "find" drugs on them.

This is my new baby. Omfg it rides SO smooth compared to my old bike. Leaving either Friday or Saturday this week for some last minute travel shenanigans before I hibernate for the winter.

Welcome friend. I'm just down the coast from you in MD.

What types of cars would one tend to ride with a bicycle? Boxcars are obvious, but what others would work?

I'm uncomfortable around other people so the music to ignore the world around me is a freakin life saver. I'd have panic attacks all the time if I didn't have music to distract me.

Cool. Maybe we can meet up at some point. I might be headed south too, not sure yet.

Hey there, I'm right in your path headed south, in Baltimore. When were you planning on leaving?

I'm in MD right now. Getting ready to hit the road. Wanna head east and meet somewhere in the middle?

If you make your way over to MD I'd chill with ya for a bit. Welcome ^_^

I was stranded in Hagerstown, MD, trying to hitch on the freeway. State cop pulls over ( only car to pull over for me there...go figure ) and i explain that I'm stuck and trying to get to Baltimore. He asks for my ID, I explain that I lost it, but give him the DL#, and after a few minutes he...

Actually I just googled it, i might be wrong on that abusive husband bit. I seem to remember a scene where he's drinking and yells at her tho

Wild is a movie about a woman who left her abusive husband and walked the PCT. she faces a bunch of issues, including coming to terms with her past and various problems on her journey. It's basically a movie about self-empowerment.

Oh god, why I saw that movie too, but that just made it a part of my "list of things to do before I die". But people are stupid so theres probably a bunch of yuppie asshats out there littering everywhere and destroying it. Now I wanna go rewatch it tho. good movie.

I don't see how someone could be so disgusting to leave trash behind and spoil the natural beauty of the land. This is why I hope humanity blows itself to pieces...the animals will recover, we won't.

Coconut oil is indeed better. Just harder to find in my experience.

If you've got foodstamps, grab yourself a small bottle of extra virgin olive oil and put that on the spots where you are chafing. It's natural, is an excellent moisturizer, and an even better lubricant. I put some on a squeaky door hinge a few months ago...I'll be damned. The shit doesn't squeak...

Lemme think for a second. Well, he gets butt naked. And then he walks through the streets, winkin at freaks, with a 2-liter stuck in his buttcheeks.

Har har har

Aaaah, after ten thousand years you're free! It's time to conquer the D!

So logically, if I wanted to build my own plastic bottle island, how would I go about trying to enlist the help of StP to do it? The original one the dude built was made in 2 1/2 years. I want to do mine in 1 year.

I dont know much, but i know if you invest in some alumnium foil, your engine when hot is awesome for cooking things

One could technically call me a racist...I despise the HUMAN race.

Despite my attempt at humor above, this is actually exactly what pisses me off about people. The reason I both hate and fear nearly every person I encounter. There is pure, selfish evil in the human race.

How soon are you trying to leave?

Hi there. I'm from Maryland, heading put on my own travels any day now, bound for the west coast.

Thinking seriously about attending. I'll be on the west coast starting in september, so I may make my way down there.

I have someone who is supposed to be meeting me on Monday here in Baltimore, and we're going to set off on the road together. Now, I have been planning to be in Washington state by early September for quite a while, and it has recently occured to me that my intentions to bicycle across to there...

How would someone acquife a building to start this? Or a block? Sounds like the easiest way would be to have someone at the top of the food chain.

See i'm the opposite, I hardly ever go anywhere without my backpack and my bike. I feel naked without them.

I did have the backpack on me. Part of the reason I needed to come home and unload, the backpack was probably 30-50 lbs by itself. I think I should have a much better idea of what to and not to do/take this time.

Well that wasn't supposed to post yet, lol. Anyway, i'm gonna unpack, ditch the excess, take care of my blisters and let my sore mucles rest for a day, do some laundry, and very likely head back out tomorrow with a MUCH lighter load.
