Some camping all over those parts. I sm about 3 hrs north of asheville in one of a kind WV. decent shelter that always needs some work/attention. I moved here woth the hopes of growing/mending the community and the hopes are still there.

tough times in the winter there I am sure.

watch some of the good ones on youtube I would say. but reaad and learn everything you want/can but always usic basic common sense and knowledge.

send me a message if ya end up in appalachia. I have a house their and could use some help with random upkeep

good point and if for some reason you are running ahead of schedule then maybe you can waste some time on backroads. every day will be an extreme learning/survival experience though. usually a good idea to have some practice rides in/weekend trips I'd say

sometimes the rooftop of a business can be a relatively safe sleeping spot. sometimes you can use the dumpster on wheels to push toward the ladder access. just have to wake up early before employees get there and may have to count your blessings that the dumpster doesn't get moved, but be sure...

classic. not usually a first time story for most though

decent/legit fella. Wasn't good enough to keep from getting banned from this site though :(

If ya wander to the east coast, send me a message. I don't know of any honeyholes over here or good van dwelling spots, but have a place in southern w.va to house people up

Damn this dude was one my favorite. A fellow bike punk trainhopper. only got to share a few bike rides, beers, and moshpits with him during one of his visits to Jax florida. Definitely legit. Think about him all the time and now I randomly read this post. Surely will be missed.

hell yea looks fun. wonder how the no campfire thing is gonna work out

I am in frankfort often. no travel plans but would be down to kick it or meet up

wal marts may have crazy home bum camps. Tents or a tent can be nice at time but I find them difficult to keep up with. Most folks just carry a tarp and some form of sleeping pad but that's kinda just if you are on the move and have shelter at one of your next destiniations. I could see the tent...

yea that's not to bad of an idea. Just saying you gotta rep it either way...stealthy or out in the open

good luck seems like it may work well. IF you are pulling off the it looks like someone legitamitly lives there it is always nice to do some outside/yard work improvement. sometimes you can figure out a way to turn the water on yourself and even by pass some meters, but one thing is for sure you...

evasion is a crimethink book i think

most people give you money or food if hitching sometimes even a hotel room. but the hell rides and long walks are real. mostl just be nice and rarely ask for anything

this mattress is pretty decent for size & weight. The price could be somewhat arguable, but can last forever depending on how rough you are with it. I wouldn't say it's the most comfortable, but I have yet to find the most comfortable. Anyhow thanks for the link and opinion. I have only borrowed...

heck yea buddy. It's always an ongoing proccess. give it a go and you'll see what its about. Always good to have some stories and tips from experienced people. The trail, rail, or road is very much like the city when it comes to thieves and shit but you just don't see it as much because your...

Juggling takes some abstract concentration. I still find it pretty tough. Thanks for sharing your story. If you ever wonder through florida or west virginia those are my two hometowns I bounce back and forth from. give a shout

love it

GL do some research on here and watch some trains and follow em with your home town first or meet someone in person to help ya but know that just because of how long someone has been riding doesn't know everything. the easiest way to see if someone is a bullshitter is to talk about a topic you...

It was just a question sometimes it’s almost like bots Are on here sometimes. Welcome enjoy the site and your journey

Spam?

Just keep your ears and eyes open. Once you meet a few farm workers or get a job during a a harvest or planting season you’ll get word on other places to move to for work. GL. You have a link to any music?

Come to McDowell county wv. All derelict houses

Pretty much freedom= more responsibility in a way. And the nomadic punknlifestyle can really wear ya down in many ways. Pretty much trust everyone very lightly and pick up on the things you can pick up on. Get as much experience as you can now even if you wait til 18, spend time watching trains...

Total bummer about libraries. Hope to see or hear some of your writings sometime

Congrats on recovering.

Sugar beets is what’s hatvested

Face masks do help minimumly so I can’t say I am totally against them. Interesting how that one little thing can makes us safe though

Did you notice officer jarvice standing on the signal ladder looking for riders in wells

I’m in!

Wow that’s pretty rad I remember you on here a long time ago. I rarely use the site. Didn’t much then and only a little bit here and there. Still pretty much the same place with weird rules about being able to read train hopping forum (again kinda like always) which is what I like to read most...

Wow from 2007?!

Still in north Florida just southwest of st augustine. May see mr d tommorow or the next day. Holler if anyone is near east coast of fla

Kootney/east shore people are pretty cool. Definitely a few there that will give ya a ride maybe meet some folks at Greek restraint/pizza place of the hardware store

as far as making it to the keys no not really just figure it's a hell of a destination but not completely set on going the whole way. but yea A!A is the best routes for going south 25mph tail wind out there today. do kinda want to ride through the forest I know that damn hippie gathering might...

Heading from North Florida south possibly all the way to Keys, probably ride down the east coast but haven't decided actual routes or destinations yet, but plan to leave around feb 16th. If anybody else wants to join, company may be enjoyed and if anyone is posted up somewhere cool in the state...

there's a free art car museum in the downtown area......kinda coo

yes more than likely they aren't the same as hop out spots. Sorry for the disrepect. Guess you rated my post without knowing me which is what most people do on here anyway. Just saying cool points on the internet aren't really that cool so some people may not be too worried about just blurting...

just sayin I hope someone pms you some good info. but messageboard really?

you mean the crew change book doesnt' have these listed? Good luck partner. best way to find em is meet someone int the wild or stumble across it yourself.

just get there and you'll find it.....time of year obviously further north better

this oogle/drainbow is rubber tramping it there awkwardly enough. Got 2 riders and room for others coming up from FL. If you got gas money I'll pick ya up, otherwise get on the ramp or back road.

Lots of disease sharing and getting pricier and pricier, but not the worst excuse to party in Richmond I guess.

heard about it two years ago.....apparently some people from new york go out there once a year or so.

there is some nice people around there.

no doubt the internet hassle and relying on planned dependence is often frustrating, i just remember there is plenty of people who post on there and you could get a ride directly there if you there is too much concern or worry about being stuck in the middle of nowhere
