Once the exclusive realm of the Apache, the San Mateo Mountains northwest of Truth or Consequences New Mexico rise in solitary splendor and are managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the greater Cibola National Forest. Vick's Peak rises to just over 10,000 ft at the south end of the 40...

Trash Bandicoot took some rad pictures of me forever ago and I'm looking for his social media last I head about him he was in new Orleans

I'd like to share some photos of my travels this spring. I'm not usually one to post stories of what I'm up to but feel this can be some contribution considering the forums here have aided me in my travels. After spending a week in Salt Lake city Utah going to strange dystopic hotsprings, a...

Seems like y'all enjoy some visual reference so given the fact that I'm just drinking and chain smoking...Left my hometown in rural Illinois (pop. 350) for New Orleans fall 2013........the rest is what it is <3 A glimpse of my last decade

Just picked this beauty up, and after playing in a GDAE tuning vs. A EADGBE tuning, I have realized this instrument is going to be WAY easier to learn than guitar. 😍

japanese car camping show a bunch of tiny little good gas milage vans i only wish i could afford

Hey all, ended up hitting the slabs for a few days around New Years. Ended up camping on the other side of the canal halfway between siphon 7 & 8. Got stuck in the Tamarisk in the soft wet sand after the torrential downpours they had this season, nothing a shovel and some mesquite beaches...

Side note: my trip to Scotland was a lonely one, certainly not in a bad way but a needed rip away from society / emotions just for a short while. I feel stupid even calling it traveling as I currently reside in England.. so it wasn't really that far away. Definitely more of an exploration...

I thought I would share a nice little re-work of a movie rating. I thought it would be best used in videos for extreme things like train hopping and urban exploration.

Great music in the park! Wonderful sun!

Continuing my overrunning of to Oceania forum and desire to share photos... Upon returning to my home town (I guess I can call it that now, it's more or less been home base since I was 13) after a few months on the road, I felt the need to get out almost immediately. Suburbia irks me. Luckily...

Recently I was at Stonehenge - don't get me wrong, it's an amazing place... However, just 20 miles up the road is Avebury - the WORLD's LARGEST stone circle, (also built earlier than Stonehenge). Avebury lives in Stonehenge's celebrity shadow. At Avebury you can touch and walk among the stones...

I won't write too much about this as someone posted my old blog post about my first visit to Mauritania here a while back, and I don't like to chew my fat twice. I just want to share some photos, as well as to subvert all convention by saying I've done this trip twice and both times it was...

Hi just wanted to share what my primary relationship has been like & would like to hear your input / reflections I met my partner during the Occupy movement in Arcata CA. She was camping with some schwilly dudes near town, and I had a pretty well developed camp up in the forest. She had just...

Hi...I haven't been around in a while but my name's Sophie and I live / travel in a van I left here saying I don't wanna take road trips anymore...but I did again anyways thinking I could continue my life in a better direction Didn't really work out, so I'm looking to drive from NM to OR later...

So recently i lost a bet, originally made a bet with a friend of mine in the socialist youth league about the result of the next election, that bet was heavily in my favor, our mutual friend heard about it and she thought the bet was unfair so she made me another one, which i took confidently...

Greetings from Egypt! After 6 months traveling most of South America I've got some stories to tell. So many, in fact, that I'm a bit intimidated by all the bits and pieces of posts I've written crying to be finished. My Southeast Asia post is about two years late by now. How do you eat an...

Waited by a bridge in Orizaba to catch La Bestia going north. It was around 5am, as our train pulled up with about 50 migrants, mostly from Honduras and Guatemala, escaping gang violence and poverty in their countries so bad that the danger and certain likelihood that they will be assaulted by...

Found this backpack at h&m for under 20 dollars I’ve been using it as a daypack it’s pretty cool. Not the best quality but for portability it’s useful

This is my gear feel free to add anything I might need to add or remove. backpack • Teton sports scout 3400 55 liters with rain fly •Clothes• 3 black T-shirts 3 muscle shirts 3 pairs of socks 3 pairs underwear 1 thermal top 1 thermal bottom 1 hoodie*not pictured* 1 baseball cap*not pictured* 1...

So I’m looking to upgrade my sleeping bag.I have a behemoth of a sleeping bag from like camp crystal lake lol. I’m thinking about getting either a Teton sports one or a thinner one with a fleece liner. It doesn’t really get that cold in here in south Texas but I do have thermal layers , hoodie...

In case you didn't hear about the unintentional event and internet viral phenomenon, Storm Area 51: They Can't Stop Us All -- It was a joke started by Matty Roberts on Facebook as just another one of many shitposts one would expect to find on social media. The difference here was that this...

I'd been talking about it for years, watched others do it on YouTube and various blogs, but no matter how many times I watched others do it I couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to do it myself. I blame TV shows like The X-Files, and maybe unsolved mysteries too. I loved those shows when I...

So I found myself dangerously low on gas on my way to area 51 and since it's such a remote place, I knew I'd have to go at least 50 or so miles out of my way to the town of Tonopah, NV to fill up before making the journey south. It was the only option for gas in at least a 100 mile radius. My...

I finally got rid of the platform over lots of storage space in my van. I should have taken a pic if it before taking it out, but forgot. Here's where I am so far with the redesign of my home.

Here's my new baby. She is my canvas, and together we will create a masterpiece: 1997 Ford E250 100,000 miles

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...

My pack Technically, I've done smaller, more local short line runs before this, but in essence I've only had two "major" rides - Newark - Allentown, and now this one, North NJ to wherever. I could have gone as far west as Chicago, as far south as Florida, or nowhere at all if I was really...

I found this interesting infographic on the Rolling Vistas blog, and thought I'd repost it here for anyone that might be interested in seeing a great comparison between the different sizes of school buses out there. I've also included their YouTube video on the subject since it's pretty...

I've had a keen interest in animals for a long time. I've helped with research and conservation efforts and volunteer with wildlife rescues. Sometimes it's just nice to watch. Here's a taste of the Aussie fauna I've seen over the past week or so. Eastern water dragon. Byron Bay, NSW Goanna...

So, feels a little weird to do but I've recently got a job driving tourists buses/trucks around and helping out on boats. Easy money, and free travel. It's pretty rad. Spent the past too weeks going from Sydney to North Qld. Have some pretty pics... The trusty Rosa I was driving. Lunch...

this is Joe c , the supposed east coast enforcer for the FTRA and president of the east coast chapter . i have taken a strong role for the past two years helping to re-establish what I thought was a real Riding club to help people promote good moles on the rails and good habits and behaviors by...

I never forgot my childhood in Louisiana, growing up hopping freight trains a handful of times, and have always wanted to do it again. I recently reached out to @Gulysses3 , expressing an interest in tagging along on a trip. At times, the nature of my work involves reaching out to strangers...

Hello, I'm in Montreal city right now. I want to know about local shows and I would be glad if you told me of places or dates. Also if someone want to hang out this is my telegram or whats app contact +52 (1) 5591676184. I can interchange Spanish lessons for french lessons. Also I make print...

Wrote this one back when I was streeting it in oakland, year out of a fifteen year relationship. Sleeping in round metal containers works wonders on your spine. Was just settling into my new spot last night when 6-7 shots rang out, sounding something like 100 yards away. *DAT DAT DAT DAT DAT...

I woke up. I heard voices. It was still pitch black outside so it had to be at least before 5am. I looked to the north and saw a flashlight scanning the trees a little ways up the path from us. The flashlight was getting closer. I didn't know what to make of it, I didn't know whether to wake up...

Recently had to make a trip to NY for a family emergency could only afford the Greyhound to get there as fast as I needed. So started my trip in OKC, everything was fine until security (2 guys) we’re talking to the guy sitting across from us. They seemed fed up and kept asking him if he had a...

Hey y’all! Names sunny, and I’m interested in train hopping/squatting/hitchhiking!

I was advised to post here by a few Redditors; a family member of mine was murdered by this man. My relative was involved in the vagabond community, and had reached out to this man through Reddit. He invited him into his house in December, and was shot by him in early January. I believe it's...

Cellphone Pic. This was the Strawberry Moon Sunset 8:52pm

ART. Recent painting. Made with pan pastel watercolor and ink. Sort of a cartoon style I guess. Recent drawing. Made with graphite. More realistic I guess. Still needs a some more work done. DREAMS. Lately I’ve been having some weird ass dreams; all directly related to traveling again...

To those who knew Irick. He made you laugh. He was always down to throw back a 40 with you if you were feeling some type a way. He wanted you to be happy. And he always reminded you to stop taking yourself so seriously. He will be missed immensely. See you on the other side brother.

EDIT: Found it

Just wanted to share what it looked like inside and outside my vehicle dwelling 🙂☮ My intent here isn’t really to “show off” as much as to let someone who may end up heading east with me see what it’s like. I’ll add some more exterior pics it’s just raining today! This van is all I’ve got...

Today I found this old picture of my van when I first got it: And I just want to share because I'm so proud and in love with the little home I've created. It's a world away from the soulless shell it used to be.

Here's a map of the tours I've done throughout the Northeast in the past 6 years. Draw your maps showing your bike travels if you'd like!

This cat physically and sexually abuses people. Hangs with folk punk and crusty crowds. Last seen in Phoenix as of April 11, 2019 These are from a dear friend of mine. Not my own first hand account. Most recent available image of Ty attached. Travels with a black and white dog. Recently passed...

Anyone have some advice for driving Route 50 in Nevada? I want to head towards Denver, and I know that the 50 is a long stretch of road without anything. So besides the norms like, coolant, and oil, do y'all have any advice for driving that deep in the Nevada desert? I'll be leaving, east out of...

Going through a lot and would just like someone to chat with

Anyone seen this brother? he looks like waldo. Broken glasses. He was last seen in Hollywood in the second week of march. He left his old road dog, Scooter, one day and we haven't heard from him at all. (He was messaging on FB and then went silent.) Me and his road dog are worried. He was...
