More Travel

It’s been quite a while since I have had a chance to update this thing. I have gone many thousands of miles, through hundreds of dollars, and met countless amazing/helpful, and I am sad to say rude/mean people along the way! But everything that has happened has brought me to where I am currently, and everything that will happen will bring to where I hope to be in the next month. Currently I am sitting in the basement of a nice house in Ft. Collins, Colorado. I met a girl online a while back and she offered to put me up for a few nights which I am extremely grateful of. There is so much to say, and really not enough time, nor patience on my part to type all of it up, so I am just going to summarize.

I finally made it back to California. Some memorable locations that I stopped at were Memphis, Tennessee, Las Vegas, Nevada, Santa Cruz, California, Portland Oregon, Salt Lake CIty, Utah (for bad reasons), The Dalles Oregon, Denver, Colorado, Ft. Collins, Colorado, Raleigh, North Carolina, and probably some others that I am currently forgetting. I met some great people in all of those places, with the exception of Salt Lake City, which I hated with a passion. I’m not going to complain to much about that. I have found places to stay along the way, most people who have been picking me up lately offer me a place to stay, or at least feed me or give a little bit of cash to help me out along the way, and I couldn’t be more grateful for all the hospitality that has come my way in the last 4 months.

Hitch hiking is beginning to bore me a bit, especially with all my issues with the law and just standing around time. And I guess the being along part is kind of starting to annoy me quite a bit as well. But I met a girl in The Dalles, Oregon who was a train hopper, he was super cool, and gave me some reading on train hopping, and said she wanted to meet up along the way, and it looks like that time is in the next few days! Hopefully just another day or two of hitch hiking and then I am gonna be on my first freight train to satan only knows where.

As far as finances goes, I have roughly 400 dollars left, give or take a few. I have resorted to flying signs to help supplement my lifestyle, mostly just be able to get food, but I am finding out that is rather difficult to make decent money at, the police keep telling me I can’t do it where ever I decide to fly my signs. But I have made a little bit of money doing so. Thank you to everyone who has helped me out, and anyone who may help me out as well.  My plans are to open a new bank account as soon as I make enough money on the streets. My current account I can not deposit money into, because it’s only located in central California and no where else in the USA. I’m considering an account at Chase, they are everywhere, and all the money I make on the streets I can just deposit into my account. I don’t like carrying cash to much, because there is always that risk that I am going to get robbed, at least if my money is on a plastic debit card, I can have it deactivated and usually refunded by the bank if it’s not to much.

 

That’s all I have to say for now. I will update again whenever I have a chance and some more time, and with pictures, you better know I have a lot of awesome pictures. And my beard is looking fierce!!!
