I'm in Iowa looking for company. I am very effective panhandling and also hit the food pantries or dumpster dive. I don't really have any route planned or anything, but I do want to find mushrooms. I see people who are active on the board in Ohio and the ovoids are popping in the east from PA...

A friend of mine recently came back from traveling all over the Midwestern USA on an extended road trip, & reported to me that there are TONS of abandoned towns there. "Town after town after town... completely empty," she told me. So, having been born in Minnesota, I know how inhospitable the...

Howdy all, put my notice in last week and I'll be leaving shittyapolis hopefully within the month. it'd be dope if someone wants to hitch or hop their way to the Jambo w/ me. Not much experience with either and by that I mean none at all, however ive been homeless before and how hard could it...

Hey friends. My names Danny an I'm from Minnesota. I grew up on a rez just south of Duluth but that wasn't doing good for me an instilled a sense of not really ever feeling at home and I guess that's what I'm chasing. I've been lucky enough to have a place to stay and a group of friends for the...

I'm considering bike-touring from Twin cities, MN to the west coast (most likely Seattle, WA.) I've never bike toured before, but I'm sick of GreyHound's bullshit. ::banghead:: Right now, I don't have any gear. I don't even have a bike, but I have a lot of time to gather what I need, if I decide...
