    It's been a while, but I mean to finish this story, and maybe clean it up for a blog post or something.... For most of the next part I'm going back through letters I wrote while in Mongolia and pulling details from em, hence maybe a change in tone.

    The big crazy market of Ulan Bator, Naran Tool; called The Black Market by most foreigners. We spent a lot of time here, first for fancy mongolian clothes, leggings and gloves and scarves made from yak and camel wool, then for the serious...

    That’s a lot of time in advance, did you think to check hospitality networks? BeWelcome, Couchers and TrustRoots? They’re free Couchsurfing alternatives. Not as active as CS but there is a good chance to find a place to crash especially in...

    My family and I live on our small off grid homestead with a small subsistence herd of sheep. Once all lambs are born and mobile and grass is growing again we will be moving around more again. I am open to visitors or "helpers" who want a super...

    Haven't taken that specific route but I have ridden into and out of Atlanta on NS. Inman Yard is NW of town, pretty out of the way. Had no trouble with security getting in and out. No fence at the hop spot and no bull on shift when I was there. I...

    Yeah, the south is pretty sucky for this lifestyle due to the cultures, laws and cops. I would suggest checking out New Orleans or maybe heading out to Quartzsite and seeing if you can't make a few friends/traveling companions.

    I don't think there's anything unreasonable about looking for like-aged folks to hang out with. I also don't think there's anything wrong with people making friends with folks that aren't similar in age. I think it's left to the individuals and...

    Many of us are still hanging out in the places we winter at, like the Slabs, Quartzsite, Joshua Tree etc. Throughout March and April everyone will be heading out and traveling for seasonal jobs or gatherings as it warms up. Is there something...
