I'm going to have to buy them again since I don't remember them at all from my formative years (there was an eagle or hawk or something? that's about it). Oh my god. I remember those books! It was a peregrine falcon, and I'm pretty sure it was name Frightful, because I remember a book called 'Frightful's Mountain." I probably read those books 10 times when I was a kid and I'd completely forgotten them. Thanks for that little bit of nostalgia haha | ||

That said, I'd much rather backpack up Mt Whitney or something. Sounds a lot more fun and rewarding to me considering how unfriendly NA is to hitchhiking. Yeah I agree with that. It might sound like a big adventure, but travelling like a bum usually isn't very fun. | ||

Functionally you only need 1, maybe two sets of clothes, which you can wash in a sink/local laundromat. Worst case, you can always just buy some clothes somewhere, which is better than lugging around way too much. But you'll need stuff in case it rains, unless you want to be soaking wet outside in the rain for hours. And if you're going to sleep outside, you'll need a light tent or a way to pitch a tarp, unless you want to sleep in the rain. Next thing I'd worry about, ways to get a ride. The best way to hitchhike is not to look like a grubby hitchhiker, so bring a comb and a way to look like a neat and upstanding citizen, and it will be a lot easier. People are spouting all this sensationalism about hitchhiking being dangerous, but remember that potential rides also might be afraid of YOU. The more approachable/benign you look, the better. Finally, ways to enjoy killing time while waiting, because you'll be doing more waiting than waiting for public transportation in LA. You'll probably wish there were a bus after awhile. Who cares how many socks you bring. | ||

The response was amazing- but the school did not want to give me any kind of support or whatnot. I actually already had my engineering degree, but wanted to see if I could stretch something like this into a communications or sociology minor or something like that- but they said no. =0\ I think it would have been really fun; difficult and painful, but absurdly fun... | ||
