yeah driving in the big city blows. way too stressful. glad you are alright though.

While I was driving on the highway to get to the city, I got pulled over because I was going 3 miles under the speed limit. 3 miles. Seriously? The pig walked up to my window and asked if I was on drugs. Guess he just didn't like my bumper stickers.

Whats in Nelson?

 

[woodstack]

[bryanpaul]

If you are headed south (being in Oregon):
Eugene and Ashland for sure, though if you have a car, I would always recommend sticking to the coast, maybe going like Eugene, Flornce, coos Bay, Ashland, then thinking of heading back out to the coast...
Bagby hotsprings
Smith river and the Redwoods in Northern California
NorCal should start trim season right now, tons of hippies and work to be done, if you are there in about a month, the market will be totally flooded and weed will rain from the sky (hence, way too many hippies are around in northern towns like Arcata, Chico, Ukiah, Mendocino....)
Of course SanFrancisco bay area if you haven't been on the west coast, Oakland is my favorite, but SanFran and Berkeley have more hippies...
Santa Cruz
Head south into BigSur, enjoy hot springs and sneak into the Esalen institute for amazing baths over the ocean
Then head out to Slab City and help Kat and Penny build community.

The Black Butte Center for Railroad Culture IS an amazing place, and there are many people that want to make sure it stays that way! Some of the people that used to be on this site and were involved in all the stupid train hopping drama that occurred a while back are VERY involved with that place, and you'd likely run into some. There's a work party coming up in September if you want to meet a bunch of cool folks, see some punk shows and pitch in and help make the place even better. RESPECT is the key word, they have no problem taking care of pieces of shit.

And everything Cardboard said would make for an amazing journey, except maybe for the slabs.

Baker City, Oregon. Look for Saint John. Really cool guy. He and his wife have a small self-sustained farm they occupy and hippies from way back. 60's-70's-ish. Said they got tired of San Fran and NY. Cheers!

San Luis Obispo county has a few small towns in the area, a buncha dried up river beds to traverse around. Id spend days there just walking, imagining the life that once was lived.
Carlsbad NM has some beautiful caverns, Carlsbad National Caverns is one of the deepest caverns in North America. It also is home to a really sweet bat colony that comes out of the ampitheatre at the end of the tour around dusk.

I lived there years ago, my cousins where from La Grande which is not far from there. I loved the area

 

[Earth]

ok, now I'll bite...

Q1: were you on drugs?
Q2: what do the bumper stickers say??

Nothing like drawing attention !!

 

[TheUndeadPhoenix]

Hmmm. Cool places? How about Santa Cruz?

No fuck that I wouldn't wish that on my worse enemy. NYC is cool as fuck, Hollywood is awesome as shit and San Luis Opispo is sweet. I heard Pismo Beach is better then Morro Bay.

 

[freeganmachine]

Earth- no, not on drugs that day, lol. and my poor psychedelic car doesnt work anymore, I can't remember what any of the bumper stickers said. a friend of mine spraypainted a huge squatter symbol on the hood, though.

Glenwood Springs, CO is pretty chill. They have free hot springs if you can find em. they were all flooded when i was there so i never got around to seeing them.

Glenwood Springs is very chill, you're talking about the hippie dips right off the highway! Ashland Oregon is my home skillet though that place is bomb and the kids are all great! Most of Oregon is pretty kickass. I didn't like Eugene that much though the kids are kinda sheisty...

Slab City, What a place!

 

[Matt Derrick]

Slab City, What a place!

definitely!

Nevada County, California
easiest thumbing in the world (drop pack, stick thumb out at first car, car stops) nicest folks (oh, you're going up that way, I've got some time I'll take you 15 miles out of my way) beautiful scenery (South Yuba State Park, Tahoe NF)
don't partake of any herbal remedies anymore, but people hand me the stuff anyhow (bring it to friends)
prettiest wymen anywhere (go to Oak Tree on the south Yuba!)

also anywhere on state route 49 (the Golden Chain Freeway)...takes you through place like Cool (it is!), Coloma (where the gold rush began), Jamestown (great burger joint downtown), Sonora, Mariposa!!!! ...love you folks there,if any of you are reading this....

love northern Nevada too, anywhere but Reno/Sparks that is. have a place in my heart for Fernley, even though it's tough as hell to get a ride out of there, but the people are fantastic (was welcomed into 3 different homes there on seperate trips through).
West Wendover is fun, flying's only good on the weekends though.

in SoCal, Yucca Valley was cool, so was Apple Valley.

I avoid Vegas like the plague (fuckers still got a warrant out for me on a 3 year old hitchhiking ticket) I'm damn glad to GTFO.
Idaho on US 93 in Lincoln and Butte counties was such a friggin hassle to thumb thru, but I'll give a big smile to Couer d'Alene and Salmon.
