    The dumbest assholes you've seen on the rails/road

    One incident that sticks out in my mind is hopping out of Houston several years ago. I had rolled into town solo but had very quickly met like six or so travelers all headed west.

    wild animal encounters(friendly and not-so-friendly)

    A few years ago on the west coast I was camping behind a walmart and in the middle of the night I wake up and see like four skunks around us. I was so damn scared we were going to get sprayed.

    Waking up next to strangers, sans water

    So sometime around August this year I wound up in Birmingham on my way to nola. Things were ok other than the heat, but I had booze and smokes so I was a pretty happy camper. Well, I was by the yard, flying a sign and drinking with some amusing homebums, when I see a trainhoppin couple so I...
