I slept under this freeway, next to these railroads, adjacent to that swamp. I got bitten by mosquitoes, chased by a pack of dogs, my gear was tossed around by raccoons playing beach volley ball and no less than 300 mice feasted on my peanut butter and tortillas

If I saw on the BBC that Lucifer had torn open the earth and emerged from a fiery slumber, My first thought would be "Hmm, i wonder if it was under the dairy queen in Clifton, IL." And then I'd change the channel to Jeopardy because I already know the answer to that question.

why'd you sleep under a highway when there's a bunch of hotels just a few miles up the road?

I, too, make a habit of sleeping on the ground and then complaining when my experience was less than five star.

7/16/2010 3:48:21 PM

I live on the ground; this particular ground just happens to be the worst patch of ground in at least the Midwest, which, to be perfectly honest, contains a lot of shitty ground.o c

If I'm ever a hobo I'll be sure to look up this thread

You should write a nasty review of the underpass on tripadvisor.

7/16/2010 3:52:26 PM

hobos with consistent access to an Internet connection....

now I've seen it all.

7/16/2010 3:53:56 PM

^^ Fantastic Idea!

Just put one up:


To quote what I know to be the only quote ever spoken on Clifton - "Yo Dawg, I heard you like shitty places, so I put Clifton Illinois in Illinois, so you can be disgusted while you're disgusted"

stay cool out there. I would not want to live on the ground this time of year, or any time of the year really

7/16/2010 3:54:34 PM

the ground under Raleigh freeways is much more luxurious

FYI, this was two years ago, I was just looking through pictures and reminiscing. I think I had suppressed this memory.

I'm gonna file this away under "k".

I attending this underpass hoping for the best and I was more please with the grass then the dogs on hand. There was a nice variety of animals but in my opinion there was no quality in the swamp. Overall I would say if you like bitter hot mosquitoes this is for you but I prefer a/c and buildings.

Even though hoboing it isn't really an experience i want the map shown gave me a good feel of what being a hobo is all about. I normally do not read these threads but having to do so I am okay with the doing so and it was an enlightening experience.

Why didn't you consult the consortium of hobos for places to sleep? I'm sure they could have hooked you up with some free HBO, a hooker and a fire.

7/16/2010 4:22:04 PM

Hooker on Fire should be a Pay-Per-View event for HBO

details on what led to sleeping under a bridge might make this thread 10/10 but for now

^ Lets not rehash old stories man. This is a story about Clifton, not about me.
