Buy my book! Just kidding although I am writing one. I started hitch hiking around America in 1995 and basically never stopped traveling. I mean I've lived places for years but knew eventually I would go somewhere else. I've been to all lower 48 states and every major city except Detroit ( been all over MI just skipped the D) yes insert lesbian joke... Anyway always had a yearning to see this Country, never gave a shit about anywhere else although j did spend 3 months in Mexico in 1996. I have done : Amtrak, Greyhound, cars, vans(kind of great since there's space) hitch hiking, freight train hopping( soooo much fun - the ultimate feeling of freedom!) Long hikes etc. I started this trip I'm on now 6/1/2020 in Arkansas and I'm headed there now to " finish" this journey. Went to Oregon, California, Mississippi, Colorado, Wyoming, Florida, Colorado, Florida and now in Alabama. I work for temp agencies when I can , pick up odd jobs, crowd fund, fly signs, dumpster dive/trash pick. Busk with a guitar when I have one. I have a great summer job in Colorado and screw around the rest of the year. Right now ready to settle down, get chickens, grow a garden, cook with wood. Been living in the Matrix too long 》 as in spend a lot of time in McDonald's, truck stops, fast food spots, Starbucks etc. Coffee and wifi. So logistics. Frens that are combat vets say " travel light, freeze at night" That's where I am right now, gave away all sleeping bags blankets and a lot of clothes since weather has been fucked up lately like 31° one night the a few days later 80°F so its either freeze but be able to walk 20 miles ( my daily average) or be cozy at night and be weighed down by gear. I check weather forecasts and make sure I'm in a town or near the Interstate if rain is imminent. Sleep under the bridge, at churches often, if weather is good under a tree, under the stars is bliss. Clothing- as little cotton as possible. Boots with composite toe: steel hurts after a while and is heavy. Getting new socks constantly- easier than laundry - air dryers in restrooms to dry boots socks...hoodie is essential, layers of nylon jackets windbreakers. Can't stress enough- layers. Ironically my pack is heavy now from carrying around my book I'm writing. Got lbs of paper: ridiculous. So fly a sign - there's aggressive like right in front of a store which is a definite run off or a stop sign off property is good since 1A stands on public property.
I always fly honest. Right now later today I will fly》
