4. i went south for a couple weeks

left milwaukee and headed down to chattanooga, spent some time in knoxville, corbin KY, evansville IN, and i accidentally woke up in atlanta one morning. long story.

it was both great/miserable and i've been back fer a couple days now just taking it easy - it took a lot out of me.

but i'm good, thank you.

5. I once ended up in Ohio by accident.

That was a pretty simple story though. My father was an idiot sometimes.

Well, if you ever come out to NJ, let me know. I'd love to meet you.

9. It was well-deserved...

:hug::toast:
Congrats, and thanks for a beautiful post!

10. And well deserved it was indeed

Very nice story it's nicer still that you are living life in a way that you're meeting people and getting to know them like that even if it is just for a little while and in a little way.

Ultimately that really is not 'little' at all.

12. Congrats

Great post.

mark414, if your travels ever bring you through Los Gatos, CA, I'd love to meet you. I've been pretty settled for the last 7 years (aside from the occasional road trip) but I'm a wanderer at heart. We could probably swap some stories.

13. los gatos!

you mean former residence of neal cassady los gatos!

i hitched out of there a couple years ago...on the 17 i think it was? to get to santa cruz...but i was only there for about an hour.
