    Clifton hills Missouri overpass camp.

    While trying to hitch to Salisbury we had to wait over night under this overpass witch I believe Santa Fe runs the line under it. It's actually pretty nice with a creek running next to the railline so there's water and I carry multiple battery packs and solar panels so honestly it was a nice spot.
