Hi, My name is Ironweed. (moniker is from the movie)
I am a Hobo who has been riding since 1986, when I flipped my first freight at age 16. Rode hard for 10 years, and now ride to get to and from work. So, that makes me an old fart compared to most here I suppose. I was lucky to have been mentored by a Hobo king named Roadhog.
I love Hobo & Tramp history and culture and believe it needs to be preserved and encouraged in the traveling community.
Not too big on technology, but sites like this can be good to get a pulse on what is going on. I used to hang out on Travelers HQ and that went belly up. Then went over to the vagabond Reddit where I seemed to make a bunch enemies. That site seems to only have a few riders on it and a bunch of greenhorns.
I can be a bit opinionated and tell things how I see it. I have not liked the way some of the younger tramp population seem to do things at times, and has caused all kinds of chaos. I will try to not be too judgemental here on STP. I have come to the conclusion that the best you can do is be an example and hope that others will follow.
I heard there was a bunch of drama going on here at STP, so I avoided it for a while. It seems pretty chill to me thus far. Hope to make some quality friendships here and share some knowledge. Making friends on the road can be very difficult. You just never know who to trust. Anyways, Highball!
