    Chess

    If you're wanting to learn more I'd recommend Gotham chess on YouTube. They have 10 min opening lessons that will get you started learning basic set ups and strategies. Also if you're interested later on you can play daily games and tournaments with the chess.com app. Daily meaning you'll have...

    So turns out I have "insufficient privileges" to post in General Banter, so I figured maybe I need to do an introduction first? Anyway my names Joe, been on here for a while, used to travel a lot now I'm off road for now blah blah. I was wondering how many people on here play chess. I want to...

    what is your favorite song about traveling?

    Just about anything by Riley Coyote is good. Just started learning Whiskey + Freight Trains, so maybe that is my favorite rn. Other favs would be Slottet by railyard ghosts And Epic of shwilgamesh by railyard ghosts

    noise?

    I think I said that as a joke, cuz he was arguing that it wasnt in another thread around the same time as this one. I dont really care if it is, but I was just listening to Bastard Noise yesterday so wierd timing lol.

    Tips on west Texas?

    ABQ and Belen area gets too cold during the non sunny seasons. If you're gonna go to NM maybe check out TorC (truth or consequences).

    Salvation Army Tucson being manipulative

    Ya that place is only good for blankets and maybe a meal if you feel like waiting. You can go there any time of the night and ask for a free blanket. It comes in handy in the winter.

    Dirty kid here. Let's chat!

    All of the loaded coal goes to Canada so dont get on any of those. Maybe you could ride an engine on an empty coal headed south but it might be locked. You might have better luck catching a stopped IM cuz it would go atleast to Seattle, unless some IMs take a turn to Wenatchee at Everett not sure.

    Dirty kid here. Let's chat!

    You can take busses from mt Vernon to atleast Tacoma maybe Olympia. The hitch from Oly to portland is easy. They dont give transfers north of seattle though. I dont know much about the trains there other than theres alot going North and south between everett and Canada. I've seen them stop in...

    What are you afraid of that hasn't happened, while traveling?

    Getting a ticket for drinking in public has still never happened to me. They just made me pour it out once. I quit drinking so it probably wont ever happen or atleast not anytime soon.

    Best cities to regroup/get back on feet?

    Well they're here, but I wouldnt worry about them if you're in a tent. Just have a light if you take a piss at night ig. I've only seen a scorpion here once and they're pretty easy to step on cuz they just stand there tryin to look tough at you.

    Best cities to regroup/get back on feet?

    I would reccomend Tucson Az. There are plenty of places on the edge of town that are shrouded with cactus and bushes and could easily pitch up a tent and camp long term. The winters are very mild and summer just ended, so now would be the perfect time to move here. I've also considered KCK as a...

    What's the shitiest place in the US y'all have stayed?

    Stockton is definitely up there. I saw a girl at that donut shop crying and hitting herself in the head repeatedly until someone would give her a kickdown.. Carlsbad NM is shitty too. It's basically a worse version of Roswell which is bad too. I got my pack and banjo jacked in my sleep and I...

    Perhaps Idaho isn’t all that bad

    Ya I've noticed some of the worst hitching is when there's good bus routes. The problem Is I sometimes don't realize there's busses until I've exhausted trying to hitch lol. I definitely prefer trains to hitch though, cuz then you don't have to answer all the same questions over and over again...

    Perhaps Idaho isn’t all that bad

    It usually only takes a half hour max on the 84 in Idaho. I always hitch rather than trainhop when I'm in that area. Plus trainhopping would most likely be alot more waiting.

    Perhaps Idaho isn’t all that bad

    South Idaho is about as good as it gets (for hitching). Oregon will suck ass. Edit: you'll be good on the 84 west, but rides will slow down when you get to la grande. i5 between Portland and eugene sucks though. That's what I was thinking when I posted that. Edit: Don't use the on ramp in la...

    I propose a hitchhiking race. Who's down?

    No catching a ride after dusk should be a rule. For safety. Edit: I was thinking if you were already in a ride and it starts getting dark then it's ok, but I caught a ride from la grande Oregon to Tucson az and held it down all the way cuz it was a safe ride and I just chugged coffee and stayed...

    What is the likelyhood of getting extradited for a misdemeanor warrant? I heard that even if you don't get extradited; you can still be held in custody for like 2 weeks or something. Is that true?

    Rats, theft, trains and being a dumbass :)

    Good to hear. I might get some next year, but I wanna figure out some kind of hearing protection for them cuz they have super sensitive hearing and I dont wanna stress em out. I was thinking ill make a really well insulated carrier to help block the sound.

    Always Good For One Night

    Back in highschool me and a couple friends would go hangout in a hospital chapel that was right by a back entrance. Just use their phone and spin around in wheelchairs and shit. One time a lady walked in crying though, so you might have that happen. Lots of sad people with dying family in hospitals.
