I haven't read this whole thread, so I apologize if someone already said this, but there's a gorgeous hot spring on the olympic peninsula. It's a decent hike, and you can camp up there. It's secluded. A natural pool. I live in Seattle, so hit me up if you need more pointers about western Washington.

I don't know what you mean by 'close,' but there's a beautiful, tranquil, free campground just past arroyo seco, in the opening of the ski valley. It's the first campground on the right and I thiiiink it's called lower hondo. It's a short hitch to town, or you could even walk, if you're a beast...

Honestly, it sucks SO BAD! But, they start you at $17.00 an hour. Dude, today was INSANE. Busiest I've ever seen it, EVER. I'm off, but it's still happening. Happening til 2 in the morning. When I left, we had done no less than 260 transactions an hour, every hour. Some hours, significantly more.

Hahaha, just doing my job, Sir. I'm no hero.

Are you coming onto me right now?

Hey folks. So these days I work at Dick's Drive-In on 45th. Those of you who know Seattle know it. Anyway, today is the 65th Anniversary of the opening, and so Dick's is slinging 19 cent cheeseburgers and hamburgers all day long (10:30 to 2 am). There's a limit of 1 per customer, which actually...

Wow. That is serious dedication to self-understanding, and also, how ingenious! And what could possibly deserve dedication more than self-understanding?! And isn't all the effort worth it if it leads to greater happiness? Anyway, kudos!

Cop, lecturing me and a van full of hitchhiking kids about the dangers of hitchhiking: I mean, what does an axe murder look like? Fellow hitchhiker: Bald, with a handlebar mustache. (Which described this particular cop.)

Me: But, we've already talked to other cops today, and they told us it was legal to hitchhike on the ramp, so long as we didn't go onto the interstate. Cop: You're not hitchhiking. You're soliciting a ride, and soliciting is illegal.

I haven't been to the gem show in over ten years, but I used to go, and it was awesome. Warm in the day, yes, but your water will freeze at night. <3 Have fun! I wish I could go!

Thank You Forever. I admire your pictures and your journey. The Gila is my favorite place on earth, and the San Francisco hot springs have been pretty significant in my personal story. If I ever manage to create a little homestead where I can/want to stay, I hope for it to be in the Gila...

ME: But I've already talked to another officer today, and he told me it was legal to hitchhike here. THE COP: You're not hitchhiking. You're soliciting a ride and solicitation is against the law.

Also I am going to send you a message.

Thank You for your thoughtful and informed response. :)

What's it like? Specifically, are there anarchistic goings on? Alt library? Intentional communities? Food not bombs? Music? Permaculture? Is there a pulse? Thanks!

Greetings and my 2 cents: Firstly, I don't really like squatting in very urban, highly populated areas because, well, for obvious reasons. That said, your fellow squatters are a lot like feral dogs. If they walk up on you on accident, there will probably be a brief moment of situation...

Touching base - We're working on a farm for sleeping and eating, roughly 2 hours north of Quito. It's fantastic, and I'm learning Spanish muy rapido, but I'm also passionately in Love with the English language - I read and write in it in all my free time - and the only person I have to converse...

I'm about to be in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru with my kiddo, age 7. We're mostly going to WWOOF I think. No cocaine for us. ;) But I've heard that Medellin (where we're flying in since it's so dang cheap) is WAY mo betta than Bogota. To tell you the truth, though, the urban centers don't appeal...

One of the best friends I ever had died in Quartzsite, AZ last November. I just found out. I want to know what I'm capable of knowing. Were you there? Did you hear what happened? Why didn't anyone tell me; Sprout? Timmy? Josh? Miss You, Nick Weldon.

Bryan Paul, do you remember me? I JUST found out that Nick died. I'm in my apartment in Bellingham. I was having a shitty night thinking about how lonely my life is and comparing my solitude to the richness of familial intimacy that I used to feel with my road dogs; the chief of those, of...
