My hometown is Belleville, Illinois . I always end up back there no matter how long I tramp around.
I did the StL to Chicago trip and am aiming for KC and on to westward states.
I packed light and usually grab this or that gear as I go. Gonna hustle and sign here for a few days and get a sewing kit and some paracord.
I'll check back in here when I get to KC. Chicago yards look hard and I need to get back in shape to run the tougher yards. Gonna hitch it through Iowa and bus it around till my money runs out. Hopefully getting to KC.
