Theres a bridge about 3 keys north of keywest, been so long cant remember the name. The bridge was goin between 2 keys a ledge to jump of into the clear blue water and not seen from the road. Money was hard and the kids I was kickin it with were newbs so I would share a tall can and a peice of fried chicken with 6 people.

ive crashed at that bridge clit commander is talking about in pasadena you have to climb up that ledge then pretty much repel up a steep ass slope with only a garden hose to hold on to. then when you get to the top you can look over the sides and it like a 200 ft drop. definately one of the best spots ive crashed at. hey clit commander do you know scrotum or skirby? theyre both pasadena kids. theyre the ones who showed us that spot.

18th street interlock KC ... more trains per square inch than i've ever seen. 2 mains overhead (we stayed in the grain elevator and caves there), they connect to 4 mains coming off into 2 yards 4 more spur to Leeds, KCK, WC, KCS, BNSF, UPSP, NS, CSX and Amtrack. They all have yards or access thereto. Next Load, Any Road ... RBOX!

How about a worst? Near the Champ Siding in PDX some creep lurking around always leaves things like this under the bridge, along with a stack of drawn-on porno mags and AA batteries. Widerstand wanted to take it home, but didn't have room in his pack for a doll head.

If your ever travelling through Calgary, Alberta, theres a fuckin rad bridge for travellers we stayed at for about a week. You can drink, have fires, do whatever you want, noone bothers you, the junkies have there own side and you cant see them. I believe it was 26th and 4th, downtown.

4th street bridge!!!! yup that's my favorite bridge to camp under too! nice and sandy on the traveler's side and the river's clean enough to swim in! there's a safeway right there too so you can roast smokie dogs on a fire. they dug out the shopping cart fire place when i was there in october. i also got harassed by cops while rolling a smoke when i woke up the next morning..... that had never happened to me in the summer.....

Perhaps when I was drinking it would have been the Burnside Bridge there in Portland. (On the east side fairly close to where I caught-out to Hinkle/Nampa/Poc, etc)...
It was in the late 1980's anyway! The last time I drank there was around 2002, and the cops had started coming under there and ID'ing everybody more and more every day. (Wondering how it is now)?
Anybody been under Burnside lately?

That's why I said "fairly close" to where you catch-out to Hinkle.
It's only about 1/4 mile, (if that), north of Burnside where Hinkle/Nampa-east catch-out is.....(I have been catching-out here since the late 1980's, and have seen a lot go down here).
I guess the worse was seeing two guys beat the crap out of this one guy and took everything he had right there in broad daylight too!
Hey "Widerstand",.....Have you ever gotten off in The Dalles, OR? Now that was and always has been a great place for me working and with a sign. That "John Day" dam area too!
There used to be a few crummies in their small yard there that I used to squat in for a few nights. (Don't know how that yard has been lately though)? I always try to figure out the name of that awesome waterfall near this area too right to the south of the mainline UP tracks along I-84. Do you know the name of this waterfall? (Probably 120 to 140 feet high I would guess)? There is an area where motorists can pull of there to photo the falls too. I tried looking it up, but to no avail on the name.......???
Anyway, thanks, if you know its name!

Freeking awesome!!!
That is the one!!! Beautifull!!!
I wound up getting a quick job there in The Dalles at the cherry factory. (Just sorting ones to be sent off for dehydrating). That sucks they scrapped the rolling-stingers! There are still a few here in Sioux Falls. Do you remember a fellow named, "Pat Slade" #1??? He used to "tag" lots of crummies. There, (I believe), are seven here in Sioux Falls floating around the yards here. Most of them have piles of shit in them knee-deep though! (I never could understand how somebody could crap in their own squat)!
Especially within two feet of their head-area! That really smells nice when the crummies interior reaches 125 degrees......
I have often wondered how I would react if I ever caught another person shitting inside a boxcar or crummy smack on the open bare floor!
Anyway, thanks for that awesome photo of the falls too!

there is a bridge about 10-15min walk from my mom's house... I've stayed there off and on for about a decade. The place is like my second home and I LOVE it there... fall asleep to the sound of the river and frogs, wake up to the songs of the birds and morning traffic over your head -- awesomeness.

there's a bridge in boston next to the harbor between a seafood restaurant and the children's museum that was pretty cool to kick it under.
