anything goes Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA so i think il take a greyhound to rva and hang out there till i find someone who knows more about riding freights then i do. If you need to take a greyhound to RVA than I expect it shouldn't take long to find someone who knows more about freights then you do. /nohitchhikethread regardless, good luck with your adventures.

suca Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA ha probably true. then dont even drop out because youre planning on doing this trip which will likely never happen, just keep your head in the books. what sucks is, if you went to my school, you could get credit for a trip like this B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acer910 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA i sew with dental floss and have like, 2 csx patches. i know all i already need to know about freights. kidding, of course. put in the two weeks notice today, not worried about school because im in wooden boat building at the local community college, that grants payed for. ive never ridden past 2 towns over, and those 2 yards just have one track going in and out, so i didnt really get any experience "navigating". I dont trust myself to get to rva alone on the trains before the first cold front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acer910 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA im looking at the q line schedule right now for csx and apparently the only csx line that goes into rva is from russell ky, which comes from hamlet which comes from a neighboring city. if its supposed to stay above freezing for a while il try it. waitin on that last paycheck though, so il be about it in 2 weeks :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keepitrail Posted September 30, 2011 Author Share Posted September 30, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA Fuck what a great day. Acer that sounds dope, I did the same when I was in school, but I only took off 1 semester. Also edogg that's funny you mention that because I did get credit for a trip I took - documented it and took video, audio, and collected shit and painted things from the trip and after 2 weeks I came back and had a show at agallery. At any rate, I did graduate, so if I could impart any leeway on your game I would definately push to graduate.. but to each their own. I wish I could get the pictures off my camera today - I am in a town outside Glacier National Park and they won't accept my camera cord or something. There's a mentally handicapped girl who came up the stairs to look around, and they're those stairs that don't have backs to them, you know, and she came back to go down, and she got stuck at the top, and now she refuses to go up or down. And there's these old geriatric ladies all tugging on her, and she keeps cracking up laughing and giggling, and then manically screaming NO!! NO!!! She's on the 2nd step down right now.

Khartoum Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA Having been to both, Picher > Centralia. I agree that the smoking highway is cool, but there's just so much more left in Picher. And those weird piles in Picher are the mine waste piles. That's why the town is abandoned, the dust from those piles blows around & might have caused cancer in the residents (and also because chemicals leak into the ground & therefore the water supply). Awesome thread. Keep it coming! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keepitrail Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA Thanks to all the kind words.. I am in st Mary a small town outside glacier park about to head to my campsite about a mile from the cemetary out here. I took a drive up Going to the Sun road and I've never seen such a view of our country.. Too much for words. I'm told this road is where the shining was filmed on their way to the house upon the mountain. If so, they didn't do it justice.. Pheasant legs for dinner last night and breasts for breakfast, far more delicious than any bird I've tasted before. nothing for dinner tonight I suspect but there is a banquet of Oregon grapes, rose hips, and chokecherries to gather in the light of the morning sun. Tonight I lay my bed beside the backbone of the world, aside the well worn trails of many game, and beneath the evening stars, facing the East, where from all good things come. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This^^ You should do some travelling in the Canadian country, also very spectacular in it's own right. Great thread, thx for making the oontz that much better. A banquet of Oregon grapes, rose hip and chokecherries sounds like the best breakfast ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riding the low line is risky but doable as long as you're okay with possibly getting arrested by ICE. im trying to avoid the west coast till i learn the ropes. theres a lot of desolate shit to get stuck in between both coasts. ive driven through most of the cities in the us, this trip is going to be more about the people.
