Well I just finished my first trip, I decided to come back home for the time being because id rather take my trips in stride rather than just jumping in head first. I left Nashville on a Thursday and began hitch hiking up north to Ohio. I managed to make it to cincinnati in leas than a day, but it was slow going after that. The next day I spent outside of a TA truck stop asking if the truckers were headed north, which the all were telling me no. Then Sunday came around ans there was a preacher standing outside handing out pamphlets for a church service ans he started asking me what I was doing there. I told I was hitching and that I was stuck there all day the day before. He told me if I went to the church service with him he would get me a bus ticket to cleveland. Now im not a religious person, but when he offered me the ticket you bet I was singing louder than anyone in that church. So I got the ticket and spent the next few days with a friend in cleveland eating taco bell and sledding on a frozen river. After I left I managed to hitch back down to cincinnati in a day where I was left in the middle of the big city at 4am. I decided to walk a few miles to the train yard and, by some stroke of luck, there was a train just beginning to head south. So I hopped on it (my first train hop btw!) And it took me to a backwater town south of Lexington, KY where I managed to hitch home to Nashville. Im gonna chill at home for a little while then maybe in a week or so begin my trip out west. Wish me luck!
