    Travelogue Avoid South Florida!

    May 2023 I took the Train to Jacksonville from Buffalo NY with my bike for $200. Not a bad deal. Northern Florida wasn't too bad. It's wider up there and there are parks and forests. Florida turns to shit the deeper south you go. I live in Florida in the 70s 80s and 90s and it was pretty easy...

    Getting Inside?

    Found a good place to squat since my last one was found out. This time there's nobody to come check on the place. However my main issue is getting inside. There's two glass sliding doors and one window that would be optimal entry points, however I can't get them open with this method. Any advice?

    Photos Found another place to explore. Florida Mountains near Deming, NM

    The Florida Mountains are rugged and remote. The Apache came here for the abundant plants they used as medicine and food. The name Florida in Spanish means 'abundant or covered in flowers." I was too late for spring flowers but I'll definitely be coming back here. This place is gorgeous.

    Turns out if you spend enough time in Florida you will eventually be given a sailboat.

    This all started about two years ago. An old hometown friend and I prowling Craigslist obsessively. Chugging sailing instructional books. Politicking with yacht club members. Learning to speak like pirates. We had tunnel vision. Sail off to the Bahamas on a dollar and a dream. We made quite...
