    Why is it that some people can't fit with everyday society like other people?

    Are they not both the same in America True, I feel like everyone needs to keep a reminder of our history and roots. It's the same way with cheeseburgers, everyone wants to eat them but they don't want to know where they came from. I see what you're saying. We live in a system that tells us...

    It wasn't a tanker, it was an open top hopper filled with oil rig equipment. It was amazing, it was the chaos I needed. I think modern man grows up in a "faked pleasant" environment. Every interaction must be "pleasant" and if you are not "pleasant" you get considered as crazy. Like you never...

    Actually I failed crossing illegally twice back into America from Mexico lol. I just wanted to see what our neighbors go through to get into our country. Finally after failing twice I sat on the bank and watched 4 mexicans successfully swim across using a mini raft at sundown, directly in front...

    Matt for sure! I know Austin fairly well but I have zero train hopper friends I've met yet. Would like to get introduced to the community if there is one here. And sure! I wish I had more pictures to add to the story but please do.

    West Virginia is awesome man. It was the last state to get covid outbreaks if that gives you an idea of how secluded it is.

    Abandoned Olympia Beer Brewery

    I went here yesterday. It appears there are 2 different abandoned locations in the same area. I ended up going to a different set of buildings I assume. The tallest building was gated off so it could still be the same spot. I googled "abandoned brewery" and it came up on maps. It was accessible...

    Awesome! Does anyone know any squats in America? I rarely see them in all of my travels. I know in Texas if you find an abandoned house, the law permits you to stay, although the cops will likely immediately seek out the owner and if the owner wants you gone, you're gone. If you somehow get...

I have traveled with both and combing the two would be perhaps the dream bag of this moment. If you...
