Re: Travel Log - 2011 - USA

 

Lets see - last time I was here I was in Santa Barbara? Or San Francisco - either way, I made it down to Oceanside, CA without getting into too much trouble. I picked up a hitchiking girl - well she was just walking and I turned around and picked her up - but anyway she said her name was Patch Stardustt. She was walking North from Big Sur and we hit it off pretty good. She was 22, high school dropout, walking around and being a vagrant. I only got one or two photos of her, but she was very nice. I bought her a shit ton of food with my EBT and we went back to the woods. "Hey, do you wanna go see some hot springs in Big Sur? There's an old man out there who makes violins and lives alone in the forest 20 miles from anyone..." Fuck yes I do!

It was a harrowing 5 mile hike in to the first camp site, almost all switchbacks and small climbs, and we made it just before dark. We smoked one of the darts provided so kindly by Karl Hungus (thanks dude) and met up with some Marines who were camped out next to us. We sat by the fire and drank their whiskey until just before dawn... it was glorious. I was all for having some intercourse but as the whiskey wore off I got kind of lazy. We tried sleeping in the tent together but then she got resltless and decided to sleep under the stars. It was bout 30 degrees and drizzly but she said she couldn't stand not seeing the stars. Oh well.

In the morning, we set off for the hot springs, which were about another 5 miles away. The hike was not as bad as coming in, but it was a lot of down hill. Still pretty nasty. We made it to the hot springs at a little before 9 am and she decided she's stay there for a while. She'd walked some thirty or forty miles in two days before I'd picked her up and her ankles were looking pretty rough. I lost interest in the Violin Maker because I forgot that I had told this guy Nerf that I'd be in Santa Barbara to paint that day. Whoops. Anyway they were sulfer springs - very pungent, and the hike to them was spotted with beautiful juniper trees and old growth pine, all along a mild and super clear river, about two miles from camp.

The springs jutted out from the mountain in little pods of water and we got nekkid without asking questions. I thought we might try to put the moves on each other or even plant tulips but it just wasn't the scene. She was nice, but I knew I was leaving that day so it kind of put a damper on the fire. For the first time I saw that she was cut up all over - scars lined her arm like a plaid sweater. Big gash down the soft part of her wrist. Then bible quotes tattooed on her shoulders and upper arms. She said she believed in Harry Potter and that the mountain talked to her at night. I did get one quick picture of her butt, which was pretty fun.

So in Oceanside, CA I met up with these fellas Ridl and Jay-D from the Unholy crew and they showed me a pretty fucking amazing time. I stayed with them for 2 weeks and drank more booze and smoked more trees than I ever had iin my life... and before I left Nerf came down from Santa Barbara with his homie and they tried to get strippers but in some drunken tussle his homie dropped an envelope with over 1k in it at the bar....he was pretty unhappy about it. So many funny stories... kind people. But anyway yall should check out LUHD - it's the little company they run to make a profit and house vagrants like me. They had a pretty slick little ODB shirt.

AND THEN

You know when you're on the plane, or mass transit of some sort, and you see a girl who if you saw her on the internet or a situation with a large amount of people she would only be moderately okay looking.

 

But in the context of that plane, or that subway train, she's pretty hot.

 

I imagine that while you're driving down the freeway by yourself, and you see a girl, it's like that X infinity.

This is pretty funny.... But no I do have standards and much of them are based on personality and intelligence.

I dated a girl on the West Coast and she was not only wonderful to talk to, very intelligent and could blow me away on a wall, but she was also quite a looker!

 

How hairy were they chicks legs?

 

Robin Williams?

 

Ani Difranco.

 

yeah...those are banana slugs.

they are "protected"...hope you didnt cut it up :lol:

 

No I just peeled it har har

Thanks man good to hear it! Yes I do have the painting still. It is in Tennessee. Send me a PM on the forum I never

check the main site messages. Thanks again!

 

How many K's are on the Subie now? Any issues?

 

Dude - not a single one. over 220k, about 30 of which since I started the trip 1 year ago. I had my transmission

slipping for a minute there sporadically but I drained the Transmission fluid and replaced it and I haven't had an

issue yet. Aside from having to jack up the fucking car every time I get into any mud. Seriously...two wheel drive

subaru. And it puts all the power to the wheel that spins freely. Cmon ...

 

i found that envelope.

 

You must ...e l a b o r a t e !!!!

I also have some questions for yall - I am trying to set up a regular blog that the people I meet on the trip can access

I've given this out dozens of times but people always seem to struggle with it. I'd like to have something that isn't directly

adjacent to homo dungeons and corn chugging pornography if at all possible. Does anyone recommend a blog? I am thinking

tumblr. But I don't know anything about all of that stuff. Side note - still working on the book and adding to it as I go. I am at

about 15,000 words and have lots to go. Very excited! Now I simply must continue the update.

 

NBB - Sorry sir! Keepin quiet on that one.
