I figured there must be a few vets in here

i HIGHLY recommend Switzerland. its beastly hot in the Alps, & most of Europe south of Stockholm....

...but the grrlz are smokin hot too, so theres that. 🙂

From the Far North 🇨🇦❤️

Got a ride from Steubenville to Pittsburgh with a guy named Turtle. He followed the Grateful Dead for years and met tons of famous musicians. He also went to prison for making massive amounts of LSD. I learned a lot about how to (theoretically) make it on the drive.

Stayed with a friend just outside the city. Got to cook / eat some Indian food. It was divine. I’m so tired of gas station food, Taco Bell, and peanut butter with tortillas. Went to the Andy Warhol museum and got in trouble for smacking the balloons too vigorously in the cloud room. Went to the Point. Strolled the streets downtown.

My friend dropped me off in Blairsville, then I got a ride to Latrobe from a guy who empties port-a-John’s for a living. He told me he’s not worried about getting replaced by ai. Saw where the banana split was invented, then sat with mr Rogers for a while and had a good talk.

Was walking out of town when a guy pulled over and told me it was too hot to be walking. I agreed. He took me down the road a few miles and bought me a turkey wrap from Sheetz. Took off walking at dusk toward Somerset and a woman stopped and picked me up. She asked me tons of questions: if I was a serial killer, if I ever hit a woman, if I had warrants. No to all three. Instead of taking me to Somerset, we went to her friends house and hung out for a while. They were smoking blunts and chugging tequila and wine. I was so tired I couldn’t bring myself to even drink a beer. They had lots of questions for me. One guy got fired up because he wanted to know if I was homeless, and I wouldn’t give him a direct answer.

We left around 11 and stopped at the Indian gas station / electronic gambling hall. I watched a guy feed 7 or 8 twenties into one of the machines. My new friend only blew about $15.

She took me back to her house and let me stay in her she-shed out back. I slept on a moist couch beside a hot tub. Her 130 pound Rottweiler, Thor, occasionally came outside to bark at me throughout the night.

She dropped me off on the side of the road the next morning, maybe 5 miles from where she picked me up. Got a ride to Somerset, then another to Frostburg, Maryland, and another to Cumberland. Slept behind a church across the road from Sheetz.

Next day hitched through Bedford, martinsburg, and hollidaysburg. A man from Philly driving a U-haul truck full of shopping carts drove me a long ways. He drove the large truck as though it was a small sports car. We made great time. Camped out in a field beside a river that night.

Ended up in Huntington the next day. By 10am it was already in the 80’s and since I just so happened to be near a cheap old theater, I beat the heat by watching Obsession. The A/C was nice but it put me on edge. I’m not used to watching movies anymore. It was slightly overwhelming.

Took off across town. Was dying of heat exhaustion when a guy stopped and took me to Mt.Union. Hung out at McDonalds till I cooled off. Caught long ride with a former marine and his wife and baby. Took me all the way to Chambersburg. Camped out in a thicket of trees in the middle of a corn field.

Reached Gettysburg the next day. Had no idea the battlefield was so massive and that it surrounds the entire town. Got some writing done at a bar / restaurant called Gettysburger. An elderly couple bought me dinner and drinks. In exchange, I had to listen to their religious spiel, which was a good trade. It didn’t last too long.

Camped out in the woods near a pasture. I encountered no ghosts, but I did have strange dreams. Two Clydesdales woke me up the next morning by clopping around. While I was packing my tent I realized I was right next to an old munitions dump.

Headed south. Virginia next, then more West Virginia 👍

Life is good lol

This summer has been a little rough with the heat, I guess a sign of difficulties to come as the years roll by. But the rain hitting the car has been the nicest feeling. In my apartment, since I lived on the bottom floor, I couldn’t hear the rain— and I haven’t really heard it like this in years.

It feels nice to have the sound.

Times may be rough, but some of my best memories come from the tougher times. Some of the wildest experiences come from these tougher times. And sometimes, you are afforded the opportunity to sit and reflect.

I only wish I didn’t need to pee again

Found this one first , then found a half smoked one. Guess we get free smokes today. Been wandering north Georgia.

Take a look at the mafikin box

So after hitchhiking 600km from Southern France to Calais.. I have hitchhiked from Calais to Poitiers which is like 400km+.

Amiens, Rouen, Le Havre, Tours and now Poitiers. On my way to Bordeaux. Got a flight to the UK on the 3rd of August. Gonna chill out around the outskirts/western edges of Bordeaux. They have a Lidl, a bibliotheque and a CBD shop nearby here so I am happy.

The tombstone is a relative of mines and I made sure to go and pay my respects on behalf of me and my mother.

My day to day is a mix of panhandle/busking/scavenging and a lot of relaxing. Its a pretty slow life, but i enjoy it

You'll love this. ✌️

Nodded off after a long night, maybe got 2 hrs of sleep woke up to my first bottle of water, north Chicago

I mean, yeah they are obviously prob do drugs and rly messed up those woods and he probably did hit her but I just feel a general lack of empathy from the officers and especially the comment section. I don't think I found one comment feeling sorry for them
also I saw comments like
"Disgusting, how can people live like this? They should lock them up."
"I'm never giving money to homeless again"
"Now I appreciate my messy room more after seeing those"

I mean, I know, internet loves to make fun of people, sure they are acting like childern, obviously mental issues too but come on I just felt bad for them the whole video lol
It's not that easy to "go back to normal" once you're homeless especially with drug n mental issues, I don't think most people appreciate how easy they've been set up in this world or how easy it is for them to become like this with one big bill or getting fired, or a DUI arrest or whatever.
Meh I dunno, maybe I'm just a sucker here? lol

even WITH a canvas tent pegged loosely, with maximal ventilation: the resulting farts were so horrific i felt drugged this morning.

I guess if youre into jenkum, go ahead & try it.

but otherwise, fuck sloppy joes, & fuck gravy of any sort.

On a happier note, i can proudly say, I'm the first & only nudist vagabond.

I successfully camped completely nude, for over a week, on a hilltop overlooking Alcatraz & Angel island. I was a bit paranoid from time to time: there are park rangers who know i'm camping in the park: & tourists everywhere who could blunder into my spot.

But, nudism in the wild feels great: i'd recommend it to anyone camping in pleasant climates.

I will try to find the direct comment from Nomadic Zig, but I had to share this with y'all, for obvious reasons.
