Hopped the fence at a U Haul when I was younger and just on the streets in San Francisco. We would sleep in the U Hauls. This worked well for a while then a security guard and dog turned up :>(

Slept in the reeds next to the canal in Santa Cruz once. Right in the MIDDLE of town by Trader Joes- totally stealth fun. Heard the hippie, crusty home bums gettign harrassed by the cops, but I was nice and warm and got to sleep all night!

I feel like a potato inside. I was born in the wrong species. I am so horribly oppressed because you won't accept me as a potato. Or call me by the accurate term 'Spud'. How dare you question my 'personal choices'. Later

RUMOR CONTROL !!! The gathering is hapening - the location of the holding camp has CHANGED. That is all. I would suggest that folks who are headed out there NOW/EN ROUTE to holding camp/seed camp to call the Washington Light Line as soon as possible.

Sorry Puckette but plenty of people work/try fucking hard and don't have shit to show for it, regardless of their background and how hard they try. Anyway I am done with this forum. Later.

It largely depends what the cops are like that stop /arrest you.... If they are having a good day they may send you on your way and not want to bother with the hassle........ Also if you have bench warrants, those are extraditable as far as I know.

Thank You Katbastard for that update.

This is all getting strange............

Oh boy !!
