Hey there! I have played this game for a long time off and on. Always enjoyed the aspect. Currently I am housed up with my family after a recent passing. However, in a month I am heading back out to the freight trains to travel the country. Is there anyone here that travels here in the US, or abroad? What are some crazy stories? I'll start off by telling you about my first time out. 

I was leaving Asheville North Carolina after moving my ex there. I and a traveling friend had hitched all the way up to DC. We ended up walking from the southern part to the northern part and slept for the night. In the morning we tried to get a ride to Baltimore to get to a metal show but ended up having to walk the entire way on the Baltimore Expressway. Anyways, were walking north with cars passing and honking at us the entire time. There is a wildlife refuge on the right of us. We finally get to a overpass where we were going to take a rest and get out of the hot sun when we spotted a white suv sitting atop. We looked at each other, feeling like we were being watched. So we slowed our pace to see if they would leave. They didn't, instead a woman wearing a bullet proof vest got out of the suv and just stood there watching us. Finally we get under the overpass and set are things down, when a state trooper rolls up with his lights flashing. He gets out and asks for our ID's. he wants to know what were doing and we tell him. He comes back after running our ID's and points up at a man who had made his presence known. Wearing a bullet proof vest as well. The state trooper says stay here I will be right back. He talks with the guy and comes back. He tells us we set off a alarm walking near the NSA head quarters. That he had to ask the NSA officer to let us walk on their overpass so we could get to the Highway 1 that would get us to Baltimore. So we get our gear and walk up the slope where there are NSA officers standing there watching us. The guy in the bulletproof vest points and tells us to walk that way and to keep following the road. We look behind and see a fence with a guard building. The NSA officers get in their SUV and follow us as we walk out. They would speed ahead, turn around and start following us again. We finally got out of their little road and are confronted by a state trooper who was just then taking a bullet proof vest off and putting it in his vehicle. He ends up giving us a ride to the 1, and giving us 20 bucks. He said he had the call over the radio and thats why he was sitting there. Anyways we ended up walking the 1 all the way to Baltimore. Just in time to get to Death Fest. 

Soooo thats one of many stories that I have of my travels. Like I said, post a reply about your travels and the things you experienced! Happy trails...~~~
