Currently posted in Philly with a room of my own for the first time in two years. My last spot was in the Bay area living with 10-12 traveling types where I managed to keep a room three months before leaving to roam again. That spot was cool because everyone was down with that and it wasn't a...

Hope yer faring alright! Spent last winter in the PNW renovating one RV, and then another one after the first one was...stolen? At least it was only $420. I banked hard on Flex Seal but it's not great if you have a rubber roof or you plan on using any other sealants. 2x on the tarp...

Aww, the dishes bit is really true to their character. I can't remember when I met them...maybe May Day 2018? They were traveling with a friend of mine who had Dingee in tow when I invited them over to the place I had been staying. It initially freaked me out to have two folks over as a...

I've logged thousands of miles on a single speed in a lot of conditions most folks would not endorse. Happy to see someone out there with the same kinda gumption. Sometimes you just gotta make do, and it's a certain kind of satisfying seeing exactly where your legs-- and just about your legs...

I was trying to find a scoot to do this with from Colorado to Portland last year. Didn't pan out, but it's still on my radar. I would see if there are any cheap kit upgrades you could add for extra power to account for the heat. Doing a simple mod would acquaint you with the engine, so you're...

Perhaps now any advising's irrelevant, but I'll throw my experience in the mix. I bought a 1985 Toyota Dolphin this past winter and given that it had been parked in the PNW, I should have expected more water damage than I did. I was fooled by some new paneling put up over existing rot. I'm...

Curious about how long that trip took you? I'm trying to leave California in the next week or two heading for my friend's place in Maine, but maybe only trying to ride as far as Philly and catch a ride with them from there. Unsure if a week riding that far might be considered a little too...

A leaking RV is worth next to nothing in the event of resale so if you find any discolored paint near the corners or sealing work that angle to talk them down on price. As everyone has mentioned you very likely will encounter leaks, rot and mold if it's older and aluminum sided. Currently...

The anxiety of ownership is enough that I wanna echo everyone mentioning it. If you have friends along your route with a place you can park, hybrid travel is a joy. I like driving somewhere semi-rural and kicking it til I wanna go elsewhere, but feel secure leaving my RV and everything in it...

On Hayden Island, just about anywhere or on Russell south of Legacy Emanuel hospital's parking lot. There's some industrial areas that are chill too going west towards Interstate on Russell and heading south a block or two before you hit it.

In Tucson right now. "Moved" here sighy unseen for kicks, but feeling like getting back on the road more than ever. Are you finding reasons for living here so far? Was gonna work with No Mas Muertas but they aren't accepting new volunteers. HMU if ya wanna link. Here for another week deciding...

hey there! about to do this myself. just bought a van in Colorado with an Illinois ID. here you're eligible to register with an address or proof of employment in-state. I think I'll be using the latter and writing up a real unofficial paystub. emissions testing is $25 but if you get any form...

thanks for the input! moved to chicago for a couple months then moving back to michigan for the winter. likely heading out (pacific north)west come summer/next fall. will let y'all know what happens and how the region pans out for me.

hey there, been a reeeeally long time since i've been around these parts, but figured this is the best place to get some opinions on the best cities in washington state. basically, i'm trying to settle down for a little while after i work a festival in southern california this september. i love...

you'll be fine, just keep your beer hidden.

i got a $100 scholarship ticket that i'm sort of saving up for and would pay for at the gate. i just had to answer some essay questions as to why i should get a reduced rate ticket on their website. took them about three weeks to review all the apps, but i'm in i guess. i'll be camping with my...

i feel you. i just dropped $100 on TRANSPORTATION of all things (feels like a waste), but it was tax return money, it's 10 to 15 below with windchill in the midwest these days, and once i get off amtrak, i'll be soaking up 60 degrees and sunshine. so there's a bright side. going back to austin...

if you're happy with what you're doing, keep doing it. otherwise, jump at whatever makes you happy, even if that's the great unknown. i traveled for a year, then settled down for a year, got restless and took off again. that was something shy of a year ago. i work odd jobs while traveling...

sounds pretty chill, though. i've never been through jacksonville so i can't say shit about the place.

anyone care to finalize some dates on when this is going down? i'm thinking i won't be able to make it now, since i'll be in tx for skull x skull. is this happening in march for sure, or can this be moved to early april?

finally got my mugwort! i had some wicked, beautiful dreams last night. hoping they're just as lovely tonight. glad to see we all have things to celebrate. (:

awesome! do it. tomorrow = snow day not that i'm working or going to school or anything, but i'm excited regardless. the whole city's shutting down. i'm going to get cozy and make some arts and crafts, and bother some friends across town, if the buses are running. also thinking of things to do...

when i was 16-17, i dated someone 23-24, which in retrospect is kind of a big difference, though it really didn't feel that way at the time. in most cases, i'd find that a little fucked up, but age really doesn't dictate maturity, and i feel we were well suited for each other, with the exception...

pumped for this. making it a point of staying in austin til chaos rolls around. and haha katey red! maybe there'll be another bounce showcase? also curious, did anyone here end up at that four loko powered nude bounce house party on the east side last year?

deep fry! deep fry! hope you're healing well. i feel like the chances of infection after that much skin removal must be astronomical. curious as to how it looks once it's healed. your face looks great!

i'm working my way through parts of this: Manual of Soil Analysis -- Soil Bioremediation i jumped in at chapter 7, which talks about phytoremediation (plants that draw out the toxins from soil naturally), so that might be the place you'd like to start as well. skip to page 172 if that's what...

^ witch hazel is a great astringent. and to agree with izzy even further, tea tree oil is amazing for EVERYTHING. seriously.

still wondering how this would work... i mean, are the sodas going to be slightly alcoholic because they're using a tincture to add the thc? i mean, i can't imagine them using any sort of an oil in the mix. i'm curious as to how they're getting the cannabanoids into the drink.

cheesy, sure. but every forum should have one. post here when things are looking up or you have some encouraging news / revelation. personally, i've been feeling like shit lately, and i know dwelling on everything that's going wrong is making me less productive and simply furthering my shit...

it has since been confirmed: LA gave me scabies.

ouch. hope you're healing well!

i did hear that the sf police dept does foot patrol and fly over the park every night keeping their eyes out for homebums/kids like us. i've camped there before, but only for a night. didn't have an issue, but there were only two of us. i'm down with golden gate for tentative plans, or albany...

it's probably safe to say that most of us were raised in middle america, yes, but i don't really care about backgrounds much either way. i'd say that voluntary poverty sort of evens out the playing field as you get older. so yes, i could've finished high school with a diploma. i probably...

i get sad when i hear about book store closings. i'm happy, however, to check their dumpsters in the weeks following. i HAVE stopped lifting books, though. which is saying a lot. i'm willing to pay for books where i can afford to, and almost exclusively from local dealers.

i grew up an only child and find that i don't exactly need company. however, it's really nice to have, as 1. i'm a girl, and i've had some pretty sketch experiences in the past hitching rides, etc. and 2. it's good to have a friend along as an additional resource, lookout, etc. sometimes trying...

ughughugh. michigan for the time being. hoping to get out of here before february so i can celebrate my birthday back in austin / sell my body to science for $$$. once i've got money, i'm thinking about heading west again...or perhaps, hitting up an ecovillage work exchange program in missouri...

so fucked up. so sorry to hear more bad news outta nola, too. sending my thoughts south.

so down for a frisco gathering.

central mich, eh? whereabouts?

not me. :)

hey. still on the east side of the state? i'm in grand rapids for christmas, then headed your direction around new year's.

as far as intolerable places go, anywhere west texas, never had luck in alabama, and the central eastern edge of california, where just about everyone's conservative and ignorant. also, i hate just about every place north of the mason-dixon line during winter. i need heat year-round.

thought i'd be saying there's nothing redeeming about LA, but i totally fell into the right crowd. a bunch of kids that live in a warehouse in inglewood (the ghetto, heart of gang territory). it's like an art space/freak bike warehouse. they dumpster all their food (i ate like a fucking...

trumbullplex is great. actually, the only friends i have in detroit are just down the street from there, on trumbull near mlk and a really ghetto family dollar. if you want, i can get you in touch with some cool kids in that area who live at a house called crow manor. i stayed with them for...

weird. i feel like austin's economic scene is thriving. it's the only city in the u.s. to have job growth in the past year. i'd say the reason you won't get handouts is because the city is OVERRUN with students. head downtown on a weekend or south congress for rich folks' spare change.

"still fly," big tymers. :)

pretty much my plan exactly. sort of wondering how long i'll be in nola though. maybe a week or so? i'll probably get there just a day or two before the holiday. after that i'm thinking austin for a couple weeks. i'd like to be there for thanksgiving, but i'm not sure if that's gonna happen...

craziest encounters: on texas state capitol grounds, rooftop, theater stage (no audience though, haha).

manda: hit me up when you're in atx! i should be headed there after halloween, and can put you in touch with some good folks. arice: wish i could deal with the cold! i wish the northeast was warmer this time of year. a good friend of mine just moved to vt from south carolina and she's begging...

ha, sweet. will do. what ward/part of town do you live in?
