TribalTalon 0 #1 May 10, 2004 i feel like packing up and bailing the fuck out of this worthless town for a bit. I've traveled just about everywhere in the U.S., from california to washington to maine to florida. and everywhere in between. this will be a road trip, so start posting some ideas for cool places for me to go. most likely i'll have already been there but who knows.

Georgetown is also pretty sweet..

I've never been there though... for someone's who been there... eh, who knows... Good luck and let me know how that goes...

A friend of mine called me up, the first time he could get to a payphone in weeks. Deep in mexico. He gave me directions to ge there, and I'm probably going soon. Go to Presedio, TX. Then go to Okinaja, take a bus to Chiuaua. Then a bus to Creel. Then hitchhike to Krusarare (which I cannot even find on a map). From there, go out of town on the paved road, 2, 3 k's. There is a white house on the right, where a guy named Reyes (Lightning) lives. His son will kno where my friend is living. He is currently living with the native indians, farming in their traditional style with them. I cannot speak a word Spanish. I better learn quick! --------------------------------------------- As jy dom is moet jy bloei!

Yeah, Mexico can be fun but it can also get pretty hairy at times - A couple of co-workers of mine went across in Laredo to work. On the way back they got pulled over by the Federales for speeding - as if they have radars in those crappy VW's they use for police cars - and the driver was forced at gun point to drive to the ATM and take out $250 to pay the "fine". Our company refused to reimburse the dude because the Federales never gave him a receipt. We had another guy who got busted for working without a proper permit - the bastards took all of his credit cards and ran them up to the limit, came back and said your "fine" is $7,462.18. When he asked how they came up with that amount the guy replied "That's your fine". So next time I'm goin' on a road trip I'm headed to freakin' Canada Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites skydiverbc 0 #11 May 10, 2004 welp i strongly advise not coming to michigan, nothing to see here but cows and corn in my area, and the hint of aroma of a skunk.
