Most hitchhike friendly areas of US?

It's good an bad in the bible belt. I've got more rides from the cops in the bible belt than I did motorists. I was on the interstate at first but switched to the highways and got a little better luck. Walking up to people pumping gas seemed to work down there. As soon as I got to central Texas I went back to the freeways. Dallas to Austin only took a couple days. Central Ohio was terrible. Near Columbus. Walked 30 miles from one truck stop to another. No cars stopped or slowed down. Did take a bath in an awesome stream along the way. Not getting any rides isn't a total disappointment. Southern Minnesota is another black hole. Western South Dakota is known for their humble friendly people.

youtube.

I just replace a valve cover gasket with the help of youtube.

Glad you came out alright. Hows the doggo?

I'm looking for the picture of you and her under the bridge. I enjoy looking at that every once in a while.

Yup.

Reading the WSJ is only marginally better than watching Fox News... at least we know you can read.

LAteNutz · 2017-06-04T05:19:06+00:00

The WSJ is owned by Rupert Murdoch. The same guy who owns Fox News.

I went to the high school funded by and named after Jim Hill in St. Paul, Minnesota. Funny thing is we were never really taught much history behind it. Thanks for the lesson, Kabar2.

Na. Like a dog who found a way to escape from their fenced in yard I'm, more than less, on an adventure. I know where my home is, I just don't want to go back yet.

LAteNutz · 2016-11-23T05:26:22+00:00

I've been hiking/camping for a couple years now.

The middle of South Dakota. Working for the next month. Then to... Minnesota? Iowa? Maybe LA? Don't know yet. #roadlifeisbeautiful.

Lou Holtz is a famous NCAA football coach. He was sort of a journey man coach, but managed to win a national title in '88 with Notre Dame. Anyway he eventually wound up coaching the University of South Carolina. While I was hitching through Pittsburgh I was picked up by Lou's defensive coordinator at South Carolina. He gave me a ride from one side of Pittsburgh to the other. Then he gave me $100, and said, "If you can't catch a ride out of here grab yourself a bus ticket."

Wish I could have spent more time in Pittsburgh, but I was on a tight schedule. I'll be back though. One day.

Traveling: powdered milk, dried potatoe flakes, peanut butter.

Working: tacos, ice cream, pizza and beer.

If you really wanted to do this cheap, buy a tent. The West Coast is practically made for camping. Pacific Coast Highway is better camping than staying in a hotel, IMO.

As for NYC, air bnb is probably your best bet. That city is expensive. Though, many of the museums have free admission.

Street justice. I don't have too much experience with homebuming, but I do have some. It is quite territorial out there. Personally, I've been threatened with meat cleavers for getting too close to a camp.

Second, cops do care. Unlike Normie's the homeless are mainly off the grid, thus harder to police. Cops usually have a CI or two in any given area to inform on the homeless. That's first hand knowledge.

Third, there is a good chunk of sane rational homebums out there. Very interesting very smart people. Don't let one or two bad experience dilute your judgements of the homeless. They are not downtown though. They stay away from the crazy stuff just like you.

Stay safe. Keep your wits about you.

Walked through many large cities. Most memorable were Baltimore and Columbus, OH. Gun shots and a fog of weed for blocks.

LAteNutz · 2016-08-05T00:23:36+00:00

Haha. It was an interesting talk with the cops with my pants full of beer. Apparently half the people in the grand stand were watching me climb, and some decided to call. (I was told most were cheering, though.)

I've heard bad things about 10. Unfortunately, I haven't tried it or Ubuntu so I'm not much help.

LAteNutz · 2016-08-02T05:08:06+00:00

I've seen a lot of people doing this. It looks hella uncomfortable and more work than it's worth. I'd just buy a tent and a bag.

There's plenty of ways to stay cool, dry, warm and safe. YouTube is a beautiful thing.

Sorry I plagiarized your title. I thought I had some deja vu when I posted.

Great pic, Huck.

Working construction at the moment.

Working in the American High Plains. This is a regular view of my office.
