    John: Looking for Something Better

    Hi, I’m John. I’ve been in Colorado for about 4 years now. The longest I’ve been anywhere. While I wasn’t in a military family, we bounced around a lot while I was growing up and, from the ages of 18 to 20 I was moving around, couch surfing, and living in my car when needed. And it feels weird...

    My intro and a bit about what brought me here

    My names Max and I was born and raised in Denver Colorado. All my life I’ve had some pretty gnarly health issues that have lead me to this position in life. I’m physically capable of working sometimes, and other times not so much when I’m having a flare up. I don’t use any drugs other than the...

    Question Cheyenne WY?

    Would it be worthwhile for me to hitchhike up to Cheyenne from Denver to find more plentiful trains? I’m somewhat new to being on the road and wondering if Cheyenne might be a better place to do some trainspotting to get out where it’s a bit warmer at night. Been freezing my ass off a lot lol...

    Walking out of Denver

    I was walking out of Denver, Colorado with no money; well that's not true-- I had a hundred dollar bill folded in my wallet and fifty cents in the right front pocket of my black denim Levi's. But I wanted to hang on to that bill for as long as I could, so I could purchase a bus ticket back to...

    CW: Drugged via Drink . . . The morning sun filtered through the blinds into Ryan's bedroom. I turned to face them, all swaddled up and cozy in their sheets. I leaned over and placed a kiss on their forehead, and nestled myself next to their chest "Today is going to be a good day." Much of...

    I awoke at around 7am in the basement of a house that my friend Tiff had been renting. It was almost cozy enough to fight off the call of another day on the road. Almost. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that I super didn't want to take a fucking bus all the way to Las Vegas. I...
