Keepitrail Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA I spent a night in Colorado, and climbed up the Continental divide and summited Golden Bear Peak, which took about 8 hours up and down. What a view. I slept in an unused ski lift operation room and tried to stay warm. Found an old hoodie with a joint in it. Score...

Lewis and Clark Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picher,_Oklahoma [/url] As of January 2011, only six homes and one business remain, their owners having refused to leave at any price; the rest of the town's buildings (excepting designated historical structures) are scheduled to be demolished by the end of the year. Picher is one of only a few locations in the world (along with others such as Gilman, Colorado and Wittenoom, Western Australia) to be evacuated and declared uninhabitable due to environmental and health damage caused by the mines the town once serviced. ^^^ think you made it just in time.

shai Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA Corrected for accuracy (we like tourists here)- watch out for the popo out west it's like dreadlocks and Grateful Dead stickers get you pulled over, end of story. Since you don't strike me as that type of guy you'll probably be okay...one thing you should keep in mind if you're heading down the coast is that it's trim season in Mendocino and Humboldt and the CHP tends to get a little rambunctious this time of year. In other words- carrying weed can be a bad move if you don't have a card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shai Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA Either one is a potential hassle, it's the combo that will fuck you (at least in CA). Centralia is fucking crazy. I used to go to ghost towns with my parents looking for antiques when I was a kid, and it varies...some are interesting and well worth going out of your way for (Bodie, CA) and then there's others that just look like a pile of lumber in the middle of nowhere. Oh, and there's lots of weird shit out near the Salton Sea (NE of San Diego). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepitrail Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA Thanks for the tips...I haven't gotten pulled over yet. i got my card for the pistol so I'm not too worried about that. Although, it was kind of a joke the past month really, because somehow like 4 weeks ago someone who wasn't me was shooting the pistol out of the vehicle while driving down dirt roads and drinking excessively in the middle of the night. And that person was shooting with his left hand and hit the clip release while firing the gun and dropped the magazine in the middle of nowhere. Fortunately I was able to find a place to order one and got a new one, with much difficulty. But that's getting ahead of myself. I filed down the clip release so it would not be so anxious to release. I only have one anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepitrail Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA Kind of interesting, I called in and was on the Missouri NPR station for a while talking to a guy about volunteering. It's a really strange scene, being on the radio, hearing yourself talk, and wondering why the guy on the radio isn't answering the host's questions, and then realizing that its you that's not answering the questions.... what a trip. And symbols yes it definately did change quite a bit about myself... Colorado - right at the Continental Divide. I left my typewriter and all of my notes to that point in a city right outside the divide, and forgot about it. I am still trying to get it back. I made iT to Wyoming and sort of shacked up with my ex girlfriend and her friends. The town was called Wilson, right next to Jackson Hole. Jackson was a pain in the ass, a tourist city, but their "Whole Grocer" had a special shed out back that they ditched all their semi-good produce in, which was a gold mine for apples, grapes, corn, and many other vegetables and fruits. I made off with several hundred bruised apples which were cut and dried in an oven to make apple chips which would last almost indefinately. I left my shoes halfway up one of the large hills surrounding the town, if anyone lives near there. There's some bones in the shape of an X right around where I left them. Fucking forgot them too.

Keepitrail Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA Somewhere west of Colorado ~ this place was the best so far in terms of a fun day. Took a "road" that said Petroglyphs --> and it turned into 3 dirt roads which I just picked one which turned into 3 more dirt roads. I just kept going, found an old trailer where a security guard used to sleep. unlocked. But, as i had dope and a couple of guns on my I did not want to be doing anything too illegal. Besides - I'm supposed to be roughing it. Fuck a trailer, in this fucking landscape, are you kidding me?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
