City of Grants Pass v Johnson Camping Ban (Laymen's Article) Huge loss of rights and safety for us houseless folks today. Of course, Grants Pass... This is probably going to set a precedent for the nation. Spread the word and stay safe out there, everybody.

SOUTHERN OREGON AREA PUNKS PICNIC - https://railfoxco.com/collections/southern-oregon-area-punks-picnic

Hello, I'm 24 years old and originally from Houston. I'm a fan of David Lynch, cartoons, and failed socioeconomic policies. I can't afford to live here and my lease is up. I have some friends back in Texas, so I'm inclined to head back there. I'm planning to travel down the west coast and then...

Interesting intersection between folks who need mobility devices or are visually impaired and legal(ish?) sidewalk camping.

Me and my husband have been camping around Portland Oregon for nearly a month now. They're starting to get aggressive with the sweeps and we're looking for somewhere with a moderate amount of privacy that people will respect our site. The spot we're staying in now is full of silica sand so tips...

Sup! I'm Inertia, 35, agender queer, chronically ill, mentally ill, long time nomad, currently in Oregon working on a bus conversion. Itching to get back on the road and into the woods. I love bikes, motorcycles, hiking, sailing, learning to build and fix things, animals (especially horses and...

Hello y'all! I've been lurking for a while now and would like to become more involved. I really like the train hopping and urban exploration aspect of this community. I've been so inspired that I've shown this site to a couple of my friends and have gone on a couple urbex adventures because of...

Female travelling alone considering freight hopping. Looking for some genereal advice or tips ( i'm from the UK so i'm not super familiar with things here yet )

(INTRO) --- I posted a thread in the trainhopping forum last week and mentioned my experience hiking the Pacific Crest Trail introducing me to this community of vagabonds, travelers, wanderers, and free spirits. Several hours later I got a response from a fellow member recommending me to...

Hiya, I'm Emmet, a 20 year old newbie who plans to travel in, oh, 6 months (?) My only travel experience is a middle school orchestra trip to Cali so you might say I'm seasoned as fuck lol. I plan to explore the west coast for a while and then high tail it east to meet up with a couple of close...

Hello, I am new here, this is my first post. Getting on the road in a couple days to head up the Pacific Northwest. Never been more West than Vegas so I am very excited for this trip especially because I have never been up the Northwest (though I have been wanting to for some time). My buddy and...

Two day free folk punk festival in the woods outside of Klamath Falls, OR! Hiking, camping, music, good people, good shit!

I'm sure people who are homeless in Salem, Oregon can rest easier and for future squatters! This is sad what these scum bags did, glad they got caught and hope they rot in prison:mad:

any advice, tips, possible meetups for traveling this time of year? heading south, I'm a 22 year old newbie. -thanks, peace and love

Hey Ya'll! First off. I'm so glad this website exists. Thank you so much to those who put it together and keep it running. This was an awesome resource for my partner and I two years ago when we hitchhiked and walked the Appalachian trail for a bit, now we're going to be hitting the road again...

Was out traveling on the west coast with my boyfriend (Kyle) and his partner (Ryan) at the beginning of the month, and this is one of the creepier stories from that trip. We decided to drive through the night from San Fransisco to Portland, so we fixed up the back of the SUV into a lil sleepin...

I base out Oregon working on some projects on a family farm I started when I'm there. Slowly working on some natural building projects and long term herb planting (for essential oil purposes), this year mostly just making music in the forest while there. I also love to travel for quite extended...

Traveling outta ga to westcoast. HMU if you got room in a ride or wanna join the thumb parade. Paz. McFly

Not sure if this is the right area to post this but it kind of pertains to wilderness survival and how important it is to know it. This is some freaky shit right here. I've never been in that forest but after reading this it makes me want to check it out. To have soooooooo many people disappear...

California is the heart that pumps the stereotypical notions of the usa. I never in my life witnessed so much homelessness and degradation. So ill be biking out tonight taking the yubacity route on up to the promise land.. Its been crazy getting all the equipment needed but I loved taking it...

About me: Hello, names Mike, been homeless for a few months now, result of exhausting resources trying to get my veteran benefits AND now I can't find anywhere to leave my pup Roshi while I work so can't get a job until recently. It hasn't got bad yet for me, just feels like camping. Have had a...

I plan on going about this way in June and I was wondering if this would be doable for a first time hitchhiker. I would plan on stopping in SLC, and Boise before going to Portland. I've also heard the legal status of hitchhiking isn't good especially in Boise. What did you experience? Thanks!

I can't decide which is better to start an adventure on and I'd like to get some seasoned advice. I plan on staying in Oregon until winter hits unless the weather is surviverable, any thoughts?

folks have mentioned the oregon county fair here and there (and i had an ex that told me a bit about it) but i thought i'd pitch it to the StP audience and see if anyone knows more information about this event? is this something travelers go to? should i add it to our events list? I've heard...

Hi , My name is Rhon. I'm a stranded traveler and am looking for a ride. I use a cane and am having trouble getting work to buy my own bus ticket due to that fact. Day labor's see the cane and they don't got no work for me. That's why I'm here. My ex-boyfriend is a gambler his daughter gave him...

[/IMG] This is for my best friend who went missing in Hood River and who's body washed up on the Colombia River in April of '17. She was 27 years old, an amazing clarinet player and learning how to play the accordion. She was born and raised in Seattle and was the first person I met when I...

Where's all the other frosty Oregonians? Gonna make this pretty little state my home for the cold months

I'm planning on going this winter. Portland, Seattle, Olympia, maybe even Vancouver, BC. ~ What are some good youth drop in resources? I need someplace LGBT friendly, that doesn't require ID, and which doesn't feel like fucking juvenile hall; someplace like Safe Place for Youth in Los Angeles...

Of course nothing pops up for old threads for here ha. Wintering over on the west coast first time ever. Renting a spot to crash with my pops and sister. Mostly sleep in my tent. Indoors just ain't all me. But considering it rains a lot such as wildly, now, it's nice to have a place to cook...

Hi everyone.. just moved to the Oregon coast (reedsport) a couple week ago but will hopefully be renting a house in Eugene for a few months (or longer?). Have been traveling from Mississippi and spending time in Colorado and Nevada before getting up here. Loving Oregon. Great...

Hello everyone. I joined half an hour ago. Girl in her twenties, no experience, foreigner, looking for adventure, read a lot about hitchhiking. Sorry, but there'll be no long introduction since it's 3 AM here. I have a question though. How long will it take to hitchhike from Boston to Oregon if...

I want to get to Portland and I am in Boulder right now and I was thinking going to Cheyenne and hitch on I-80 W. Is there a better way to get there? Have you done this route before? Let me know and thanks!

I'm at the junction on I 80 and I 15 if any one feels included to help me with a ride, I have pitch for gas!

I made this profile a year or so ago, and I never actually ended up going anywhere. Now, I'm finally doing it. I've got the opportunity, I'm getting my car fixed up, and its summer. I'm here in the introduction section in order to hopefully build friendships with other dwellers and people who...

Looking tomeet some awesome beings who enjoy dance, music, and other creative arts. Will be in and around Eugene for awhile then hitting the coast.

Hey everyone! I happened upon this site whilst surfing the net for like minded folk. Currently I reside at the tale end of the Willamette Valley here in Oregon, but I am itching to leave this concrete jungle for a simpler life, eventually off grid completely. It seems an insurmountable task...

so I'll be driving a van for my father to this town or vicinity in mid April then on a wide open ended foot walkabout looking for anyone's personal fav towns in OR and things to check out. I'll be on the tramp for long term camping spots in the big wilderness parks, other travelers lady tramps...

Van is broken down so I figured I'd ask around for any suggestions to fill my time in Eugene till Monday?

Did a bit of travels down the Oregon coast on 101. Down to the redwoods then back up to central Oregon, east of the Sisters. Figured I'd share a couple pics I took. Seen whales for the first time in my life, was pretty awesome.

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...

Anyone stuck or stagnant in the state of Oregon(as well as SW Washington) will find the following website handy: 211 It is a very comprehensive database of every type of support you could imagine for folks in need. In fact, it is so jam-packed, it might take a while to narrow down your relevant...

Hey, so I'm currently in Eugene, and kinda bumming it around and dting, and kind of decided to travel, as most of the people I've met have told me to do. So I'm planning on leaving in about a week, I'm trying to go more east maybe towards Colorado and what not. Would be chill to meet up with...

While on the Oregon coast this last summer I really understood what I wanted out of life.starting off is such a hard place to even begin. All those miles gunning down the I5 alone with my dog,sipping ipa beers under bridges while listening to loud oboxious bouts of doom metal and the counting...

Going to be heading out June, bound for Portland. We'll be starting off from Ashland. Any advice, or info I should know?

Hey duders, my name is Siobhan (good luck pronouncin'). I've done a bit of hitchin the past few years, around the Pacific northwest and the midwest, but now I just moved into my very own car. I intend to head north towards Oregon (I'm in Santa Cruz right meowmeow), and then I think I might head...

Hey everyone, my name is Trevor and I'm currently living in Fort Collins, Colorado. I'm hoping to be able to travel to Oregon to come in contact with a long lost old friend. My current living situation has nothing to offer me so I've decided that I'm going to I'm gonna lay low and travel around...

When I hit the Freegan Gypsy trail one day, Oregon is definitely on my list, after seeing this. Sounds like the perfect places to live/camp/catch your breath for a while... http://www.onlyinyourstate.com/oregon/hidden-gems-or/
