T.T Boy Posted April 16, 2002 Share Posted April 16, 2002 dont make plans, anyone i know whos hopped just got on and came back when they felt like it, your not riding the greyhound you know, its super unpredictable, dont say youll be back by a certain date cause you have court that day, cause you wont make it.

KaBar Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 It's not Rocket Science But you do need to know quite a bit about what's going on to avoid getting hurt or busted. Read "Hopping Freight Trains in America" by Duffy Littlejohn Sand River Press 1319--14th Street Los Osos, CA 93402 $13.95 + $1.95 shipping Or, go to the post "Duffy Littlejohn Online" and use the link to online versions. BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING ELSE. If you hop "blind" you may wind up dead or in jail, for real. Best of all, go with an experienced train hopper who knows what the fuck he is doing. http://www.deadtrainbums.com/causes/ The passwords are "dead" and "bums" BE FUCKING CAREFUL. This ain't no fucking hobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
