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...

    First little journey

    When I was a wee lad, maybe 12 or 13, I remember thinking about starting a band and living out of a van, it sounded much better than subscribing to corporate drudgery. I grew up in abject poverty, going as many days without food as with, and violence was always around the corner. Even in an...

    I propose a hitchhiking race. Who's down?

    I've recently stumbled upon the concept of hitchhiking races. On Hitchwiki they've listed 29 races that have happened in the past but none of them happened in the United States! Do you think it's viable to have a hitchhiking race in the US, particularly from coast to coast? Would you join the...
