    Sounds like this Bo just caught the Westbound. Can anyone share details how he passed?

    Colorado Homeless Laws...Is Google Right?

    To each his own, but I would rather try to find work if I can get it. I would fly only if desperate and there were no other options. That's the Hobo way.

    Jim Stobe has passed

    I agree with everything you said Highwayman. I don't like to judge people. I am not trying to diminish Jim and his life in any way, but for hell's sake!!! Walking on the NE Corridor roadbed?!?!?! I guess we will never know what was going on in his head. I can just say he was in over it. He...

    Jim Stobe has passed

    A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS>>>>>I tried to say hello to this fellow once: My friend and I were in the yard when Mr Stobe and his crew came by. We tried to say hello, but he scurried off into the woods. Eventually, my friend & old hippie tramp 2Slim went to meet with them the next day...

    Jim Stobe has passed

    Is hard to lose a fellow road brother. You can never be too safe on the rails, and even then, the westbound still might pull up to snatch you to the next division. Be careful out there everybody.

    I miss my friend very much I hope others had the pleasure of knowing this goofy drunk bastard. Sorry about the loss of your freind. I've seen what booze does to fellow roadsters. My good friend Stretch lost his battle to alcohol. He was a Hobo king and is buried in Britt. It was sad to watch...

    Camp Alpha (homeless veterans camp in AZ) shut down, your opinion?

    The Phoenix went down, but others are are just fine. The one in Tuscon is strong.

    The Truth is That Cops Lie!

    Flood is a sociopath. His hatred towards the floating fraternity goes beyond the law. As a town-clown, he is the worst I've ever encountered. He has made it his mission to harass anyone who walks on the sidewalk. He automatically assumes they are on the road. I would take him to court, ask for...

    I am surprised there hasn't been a hobo or tramp reality show yet. :p ...and if they do, I'll critique the hell out of it!

    Why Do People Keep Trying to Visit the ‘Into the Wild’ Bus?

    I think it is some sort of pilgrimage. The kid had spirit, but he was completely in over his head.

    a year of trains part 1

    I understand. :) You have not been out on the road that long then? You have the makings of being a great Hobo. You have a trade that could pay killer as a journeyman Bo. Do you find it hard to find work with your skill set? I wish I had a skill like welding. I end up on a lot of non-skilled...

    Interesting story Severin. How long ago did this occur. Surprised you did not get the shakedown in Pokey. The town is alright. The yard sucks. Bulls are horrific.

    Approaching people in hobo camps

    It is a pleasant surprise to see bums with decent camps. It is a total rarity. Most bum camps in the vicinity of the tracks are usually bums who have simply watched Tramps and Boes of the past. They watched where they camped, or thought they knew where they camped.They heard rumors where the...

    Real hobo camps are almost a thing of the past.

    I was over at Reddit Vagabond complaining about this, and I got reamed for it. That site seems to be oogle central... I am an old school guy. Back in the day, if you were acting like this in a jungle, you would have had your ass kicked in. There were unspoken rules in the jungle and on the road...

    Approaching people in hobo camps

    I think that most tramps and boes have forgotten the lost art of 'jungling-up". I think it is due to a variety of things. The biggest reason is there are just not enough riders out there to make it work, at least on a national scale. Sure wished it was different.

    I am unsure about buying something like it. Don't have one myself so, I cannot say it was worth it.

    This looks like a worthy investment. Check it out: http://www.canvascutter.com/ Yes, it is a bit pricy, but for what you get, it may be a great idea.

    Hey Now.

    Be happy to. One piece of advice is it much better to ride intermodal on cement ties than manifest traffic. ;)

    Hey Now.

    Thank you Highwayman. Roadhog was in a few documentaries. Another Hobo king I hung out with just passed away. Stretch. Will be in Britt this year for his funeral. Be nice to meet a few of you there. I generally don't do Britt. It is phoney and no real Hobo business is done anymore.

    Hey Now.

    Hi, My name is Ironweed. (moniker is from the movie) I am a Hobo who has been riding since 1986, when I flipped my first freight at age 16. Rode hard for 10 years, and now ride to get to and from work. So, that makes me an old fart compared to most here I suppose. I was lucky to have been...
