My friend was looking through some of the old photos on his hard drive and he found a bunch of pictures from the time we jumped a train. After spending a few days in a town some 70 miles away from where we started we bought bicycles and biked home. On the way back we seen an old car on an abandoned farmstead and took a picture of it. Just wondering if anyone knows what it is.
Never did get the big fear people have about ticks. My friend's sisters, growing up in the city had a huge fear of ticks. They wouldn't walk though the woods without worrying about possibly having a tick with lymes. I guess I don't care about them enough to worry That was actually my guess too.
sounds like an awesome trip-i remember hopping a train a few times when i was a teenager just to see what it was all about. cool shit.
Yeah it was pretty awesome. We wanted to go out west but wound up going east The worst part of the trip was sitting on the train for 8 hours waiting for it to move. We wanted to make sure no one seen us hop in A couple of pictures from the trip. As far as the car goes I am pretty confident that both Henry29 and Deuce_Daddy_Don got it pretty well nailed down to late 30s GM product. When I went that way a few months ago the car was still there. I am surprised the scrappers didn't come along and get it already.
Chevrolet has a body line right above the door handles, both Pontiac and Buick have the the tail light a lot lower. Its definitely a 37, or 38 Oldsmobile.
Hey Phil,Rich here from Green Bay,yea i know there shit like that all over the state if you look for it.Also do you know about that abandondon yard over bby Amberg?
You'd worry about it if you got it. got lyme disease when I was 16. took going to my doctor for 6 months of serious joint issues to have his PA figure out WTF I had just by reading my chart. Never saw a tick or anything on me. by the end of it, my hip, spine, neck and jaw were all locked up solid. I could barely walk, couldn't turn my head and if it wasn't in a spoon or straw it wasn't eaten. SUCKED Didn't stop me from working on my car though. I remember hobbling into high school with a set of four 16" steelies under my arms to use the autobody shops blaster on em.
Train hopin,,great fun,,have friends who still do it back and forth cross country.. you see things from the rails you'll rarely ever see anywher else
Yup, same here. Had Lyme disease for at least two years, possibly longer before I got a proper diagnosis. And this was in Connecticut, 30 miles from Lyme, the namesake of the disease! Finally ended up in the emergency room with a 105 fever, with hallucinations. The ER doctor got it right on the first try. Psychosomatic, my ass. Now I have permanent tactile and motor neuropathy, from an otherwise treatable and curable disease.
Nope never heard of that. Got any pics? No idea. Would be a little OT but I think it would be pretty cool too
