Which countries in the Middle East? What was it like?

I walk around all the time with my headphones on and in but never near tracks. Also you should always be able to hear your surroundings when walking and listening to music.

She didn't get a felony, they dropped the charges I think.

It's a good thing that he understands. It takes a lot.

Don't fuck around, it can get very cold in Colorado during the summer and especially in the winter depending on the elevation and part of Colorado. Unless you know you are prepared for the Midwest winter, stay away.

I speak as someone who took an underage girl I met on the road under my care who had become a sister to me. Things will be a lot easier if you get your degree first. That was you can have an easier time getting a job and later, if your wish, you can go to a college or tech school if you wish...

Northern California (specifically Anderson), northern Idaho,and eastern Oregon if you're a person of color. Those are horrible places.

I can answer that. I only have my passport as ID. Depending the area and state I have had reactions from nothing unusual to "what is this?/do you have any other ID?" Once in Tennessee a pig asked me, when he ran my passport, why nothing was coming up. I told him he should know as it's his...

My mom and I used to fight a lot and during one she said my friends and I looked like street urchins. Years later when I got dreads I started to take up this name as an act of defiance and reclamation.

I get worried when the lice start protesting someone's BO.

I hope that's her. I just sent her a message.

I take great offense to you tossing around that she has BPD. A great friend of mine who was diagnosed with it and the only time she would get violent is if she has to, by which point I'm already at the helm. However even if this woman does have it, it's no reason to toss it around like this is...

That was likely this group. http://www.srkc.org/history/

There is no law saying you even have to talk to a cop. If you aren't doing anything illegal, or they haven't caught you doing it, you don't even have to acknowledge them. I've done this many times and never got in trouble in many states. Keep in mind this is on foot.

I'm in Idaho and it's hell. I mean the weather but the state is too. Nice people but too easy to get into trouble here. The cost of trying to legislate morality. Anyway, welcome.

Get a shemagh. Not only will it keep you warm, or at least your head, but it's also a multiuse tool with not even a great amount of imagination. Be careful out there, I know Texas just had a ton of tornados and a blizzard as well. The weather can get treacherous in the Northeast, not as nasty...

Hey. I'm autistic as well but the people here seem to be nice at least. You should be fine. I never even introduced myself so you're already better than me.

I fucking hate Sacramento but at least SOMEONE had fun there. I write about my trips in my notebooks, I have three books full, and The Sac takes up a week. I might put some online.

It's legal, I believe, to hitch there. I walked the interstate there once going out of Evanston. Notes: the city is nice but sucks for hitching. Don't walk the interstate unless you are prepared for a TREK!

Once was a cemetery. I wasn't even homeless. My girl and I wanted to sleep. That's it. Another was inside a Home Depot shed It was cold as a well digger's chicken.

Fuck. He was a cool dude too...

We planned to have it now, she can't get a licence at the moment, and we wanted to take it with us on the road. We won't go down trails or anything, at least not while going somewhere. Once we camp at a place then maybe. We would love to have a recumbent bike but right now we can't.

If I can lighten the load a little then I am almost sure it can be done, especially if I get one with a cart built into the back.

Okay okay, point made. We can't leave yet anyway (she got a real bad injury recently). Seeing how packing light is not an option I suppose this plan is aborted.

The folding bike part would only be for if we needed it, otherwise I would rather have the mountain bike. I suppose this would be better for state travel but not full road. I feel like something could be fashioned however somehow.

Michael: Nope. If someone wants to help they can ask if I need it and if so, they should ask how. Otherwise they are making it about them. For all they know I can have a life-threatening allergy. Just because I am poor doesn't mean I have to take someone's scraps, especially if don't need them.

I will steal from a big box store but never from a small or regional chain. I don't deal drugs nor do I just take what someone gives me if I don't need it or won't use it (I'm a vegan so food is one area). I definitely refuse sex offers of any kind. Beyond that I can't think of anything else off...

We definitely plan on using them for a good minute before hitting the road. Maybe ride them around the area for several days, then make a day of riding them to and from Boise. We want to be able to know it all very well before we get comfortable.

From what I've read and was told here in Nampa (where it seems motorized bikes are popular) I can get about 40 miles on a dollar fill-up and 30 mph. My optimum choice would be to do it with a collapsible bike so we could hitch or ride depending on our circumstances. At the moment however we are...

So my friend and I are debating hitting the road with motorized bikes (mountain ones). Does anyone have a lot of experience with this? I imagine we'd be recommended to get tubeless tires as soon as possible and think about getting a trailer (I use a roughly 60 pound pack), but more information...

No details at all?

Check the article on SLC too.

Damn. Fly up the money. They are priceless.

I concur. I refuse to sleep or squat in downtowns because they are usually blown up or at the least the pickings aren't as good and the people are hostile to us. Fuck all that noise.

You still didn't get an atlas?

If you are really THAT worried then hitch, but carry a working cell phone with you. Before you get into the vehicle take a picture of the car complete with license plate and send it to someone you know in case something happens. Really hitching isn't that dangerous. Just use common sense and...

I second that. There are towns in which I know I may die because it's night time and I am black (Anderson, CA). Overall I would say any place you can sleep at should be good. I personally try to hit a town before nightfall, check the area for spots, then make mental notes. If you can't then...

Damn man, the northwest LOVES you. Hahaha. Good to know you are out though.

[DEAD]

Shockingly no. I've walked it a lot in Idaho and never had trouble. I am about to head to Boise myself so I can busk up money for Mayhem this Wednesday. You have my number. You should call it.

Oh. Never mind. You are past where I am. You are at the right spot though. I found out last night Little Ceaser's dumpster is fat with pizzas.

No but it is illegal to hitchhike in Idaho. The cops shouldn't give you shit though. I am on the road leading to Franklin. You may see a guy with a purple and black pack. That's me.

Ewww. You're at the Lighthouse? Come to the Rainbow Recovery clinic. It isn't far and they have some food here. I am there now. Don't walk to Boise. Your best bet is the eastbound exit off Franklin boulevard. As far as Boise goes you might as well walk from there, there is almost nowhere for...

Hard to believe you weren't picked up in La Grande. I was picked up by a guy in a sports car and got to fly his drone. Good shit.

I never knew about the free bus. Huh. The Frisco , CO area has one too which goes through several towns before it ends in Dillon at the 70. I never took it that far though. I usually hitch near the moose in the town.

People in Idaho are pretty nice to travelers. You should get a ride in no time. Note: Nampa and Boise are just 20 miles away from each other.

If you get dropped off in Nampa feel free to hit me up. The feeds here suck ass but the people are nice to travelers.

Sorry I meant Twin Falls.

If you get dropped off in Tremonton check out the dumpster near the gas station across the street from Subway. When I was there about a week ago I saw three trash bags filled with good pizzas. I didn't eat them but pointed it out to some travelers and they enjoyed themselves. It fed the eight of...
