Thought id share my recent hitchhiking experience. Was trying to go from Carmel Valley (had been there to say hi to relatives) to Carlsbad- like 20 miles up the five or something. This was my first experience dealing with cops while hitchhiking (aside from one that drove by and used his speaker...

A few days ago some friends of mine from Los Angeles came out to visit me in Slab City, so I decided to show them the Slab City golf course. It's been around for quite some time, but it was only recently that I took the time to explore it. Its a completely legitimate golf course and the person...

Hi, I'm a dude from the Central Valley only son of an original beatnik. I hitched to El Paso last year and bounced back and forth from Mexico. I was truly in my element on the road, I considered myself a very successful hitcher. Anyway all the old stories I heard from my father very much...

My name is Dean, 23 and I have no idea what the fuck I am going to do. Wasted the last six years of my life doing nothing but drinking, doing drugs and living in my imagination. Thought about moving out to California and joining a militia but someone made me realize how dumb that is. I'd...

Hey folks, I'm playing around with a few ideas for doing a video travel blog, so here's something I filmed and edited using nothing but my cell phone. I just covered my day running to town to get supplies for the Slab City library, so take a look and let me know what you think.

I've started forgetting pieces of my travels, so i figure it'll help to get them down. This story starts Christmas a few years ago. I was living in the boonies in northern new england in a derelict former hippie commune turned end-of-the-road trailer park. I got fired from my full-time gig...

So I want to start a community (really a giant squat) in Northern California. So I am looking for people who would want to help me make this a reality. This community would be at the location at these coordinates 38.86317, -123.56133. You can just put them into google maps to see the place that...

Looking for a good area in so cal that is a good town for travelers and not to far from good areas out of town for camping out? I like to be out away from many folks but not too far that I can't get into town to hang out some.

Hey Everyone Name is SuneeShines. I have been reading STP for a few months because travel and adventure is just really interesting to me. I don't really have any qualms with working my dead end jobs (as long as I can start in the Afternoon). I don't have a wanderlust that can only be...

Hi, I am new to alternative traveling. I want to get to California for the sheer fun of it. However, I have no clue to get there without using a car or a airplane. Both of which are going to cost more than I am able to make. I need some tips and advice on how to travel, lodge, and even get my...

Hey. New here. Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I'm 28, traveled from the west coast to the east cost -where I'm currently residing. Proud owner of a crazy little awesome dog named Riot. Art, music, poetry, traveling, urban exploration, etc... = shit I fucking love. I struggle with...

hey all I am new here, never put anything here. But I am a good person, travelling from city to city. Doing this or that, minding my own business. Consider myself a transient by this point. Homeless since last year. this is what I am requesting, as the thing said I am from the west coast and...

My girlfriend and I are trying to get out of here , I will be working until July 20 and I will have about 3000$ saved. Any advice? Thinking about buying a car for less than 2000 and really trying to stay somewhere in the wilderness. We are comfortable with living in a tent but have had ideas of...

I'll explain my situation. I don't have vehicle. I don't have anyone to rely on for transportation. I have funds; enough to at least buy bus and train tickets to get near the Salton Sea and for necessary supplies to last awhile. I want to get to get to Slab City and set up before the fall...

Always wanted to see what it'd be like to live in a commune or just check it out for a bit, considering I'm still wrapped up in the system until I pay the government off. Anyways if anyone knows of one in Cali I can see for myself please let me know. Thanks!
