This trip has finally turned into a freakin nightmare! Even us experienced and seasoned vets can make careless mistakes that can be quite costly. My first mistake was drawing Cash out of an ATM to get some chronic and my second was burning with a couple local homebums. Stoned as shit I could still see they were trying to put me in the trick bag and the two soon became like 5. I could feel the vibes and I wasnt about to hit their bottles they kept insisting I hit. I heard the sound of an approaching train which was an IM to Buffalo which I wasted no time or gave any explanation..I simply loaded my pack, nodded and quickly matched its speed, easily gettin aboard. Problem was It was suicide and dirtyface not to mention light snow and like 18 degrees. Trust me, it wasnt long before I realized how fuckin stupid I was to ride dirtyface. My hands went numb as did my feet and face and there wasnt shit I could do about it. Passing many trains I was obviously spotted and called on because somewhere before Erie I saw a bull and two local PD cars on each side of the train and they were out of their warm cars scanning. With nowhere to hide (suicide car) they easily spotted me and the chase was on. Somewhere there was miscommunication because we were at a pretty good clip and I was not accessible for many miles. The Porch had quite a bit of ice and snow, making it quite slick and really a dangerous situation, especially since I could nt feel my limbs and crispy. As we slowed coming into Erie I decided to try and bail because I wanted to minimize my chance of going to jail by gettin rid of my recently purchased contraband. We re not talkin a $20 dollar sack but a half ounce. Well not only did I miscalculate the speed, I slipped on the slick deck with pack on as I was trying to find the bottom rung of the ladder and met the frozen earth with a tumble and enough force to break the pack frame and force a jagged edge into the nylon bag. Pissed and quite angry I tried to retreat off the property but not quick enough..I did manage though to bury my stash in the snow before the pigs got to me. Needless to say I was searched and pack rummaged through..got a riding railway equipment ticket and escorted off the property. SO....My journey has drastically changed. Doubting Jansport s lifetime warranty will cover such a mishap I opted to Fly on up to Anchorage Alaska which was my final destination on this trip. And besides, If I’d of decided to ship the pack back to Jansport for a roll of the dice, I d of needed to be housed up for a few weeks and weekly hotels weren’t in my budget…so For those of you who have my number..my phone got crushed nor does Alaska have Sprint so buying a new phone would do me no good.
