NY to OR by Thumb and Steel (1 Viewer)

A few stories from my recent travels hitchhiking and riding trains from Buffalo, NY to Crater Lake, OR for work. I tried adding photos, but my connection sucks ass here, so I figured I'd post some videos. There were some really beautiful rides and I'm glad I had the chance to squeeze them in before the end of summer.

Kitchen Utility at the rim lodge...nothing too exhilarating, but it'll give me some funds before I head out on my next adventure. A lot of the hiking trails have been closed due to wildfires, there's over 20,000 acres burning, 38% contained, so hopefully it's not like that the whole month I'm here.

Thanks. I actually bumped into a friend I worked with years ago in CO at rim village the other day. He's also fighting the wildfires. They have branches from many states on it. Be safe winter riding and make sure you got solid boots. It gets hella cold out there.

Thanks man. I got a bit behind on writing, but I've been traveling too much. I hope to get some more done between my time off at work.

I ventured into the path of writing, and extended to photos and video solely so I didn't go down a harder path with drugs and alcohol. It gives me something to do when I'm just sitting around. But, the way my mind works I have so many words written and nothing complete in a book yet. I will get there eventually when I slow down. Safe travels dude.
