It's best not to take anything too personal on the internet; and especially when at a forum like reddit. Lots of trolls. Visible and invisible. They love getting your goat.

NO shit. Hopped trains for honeymoon. Will never ever forget. I insisted on taking my cast iron pan, and hubby made me carry it. I didn't care. Was worth the weight.

I think I would like that, though I am way old now. Last time I slept outdoors was in the 90s. At a science outing for one of my kids. We were in the Olympic Forest and went in search of 'almost' fossils that were in abundance at one of the beaches. I think I got muddier than the kids, I had so much fun. Course, we got to go home and clean up.

I always thought I was a hermit or hobo at heart, but let my family keep me from wandering farther than a few hundred miles. Shame on me. In my next life I shall ignore everyone and live my life out in the world.

I don't have my own home, (guess I am a sort of vagabond/hobo) but if you ever get up close to Tacoma area, shoot me a PM and I can at least take you out for a beer. And maybe I can talk one of my kinder into letting you have a good soak in one of their tubs. But, they may only be good for a shower. Never know about kids now a days. (youngest is 35, so I be kidding a lot. Well, not so. They are still kids to me. Kinda, sorta)

Busted my head in Bellingham attempting to get on a stationary train. My rear was in arrears. Too much weight in my pack for a forward thrust to car. We took a break and fried up the potatoes and onion I had also packed. Was a bit easier to get up into a boxcar after that. Live and learn...

Yes, I have had a pretty hilarious life. Not AMA worthy, but fun for me.

Luck on your journey!!

Same as the USA and their treatment of our indigenous people. Things seem to be turning around here though.

Good luck on your awesome quest!
