On a greyhound bus to raleigh, north carolina!

I know what your thinking, i gave up on hitch hiking. WRONG! I was in richmond, virginia hitch hiking for about 45 mins. Finally a nice car pulled up next to me. A tall guy got out of the car to ask me where i was going so i told him raleigh, nc but somewhere in that direction would still be okay with me. He said he couldnt take me there, no worries. And then he said he eould take me to the greyhound station to buy me a ticket to raleigh. I was so confused instantly, talk about an incredibly generous guy. We talked in the car on the way over, he was amazed by the things i told him and what i was doing. Of course i got the usual questions of if i was scarred ever, and the what ifs, but he said he had a great amount of respect for anyone who could do what i do.

Finally at the bus station, he hands me his business card saying if im ever in the area again he would put me up for a night or two then we headed in. At the door we were stopped by some kids begging for money, it was pretty obvious it was for drugs, but he gave them five bucks. We went in and he bought my ticket (46 dollars). I double checked multiple times, i was still in shock. On his way out he insisted i take twenty dollars for food and ehatever i need it for on my trip. Then he was gone as fast as hed showed up.

Crazy story right! Excuse my probably many typos. Im on my phone.

Sitting in starbucks just outside richmond virginia right now. Charging my phone, sippin some coffee, and relaxing.

Yesterday i bought that half inch thick sleeping pad, bunjee cords, and a nice tarp. I cant beleive ive never had these things before. The tarp kept me incredibly warm, and the sleeping pad was very comfy and kept me off the cold ground. Bunjee cords just make it easy to strap things to my bag.

Raleigh here i come. Looking forward to today.

My friend Miles is really a character. He recently wrote a book about his hitch-hiking across the United States, his journey both physical and spiritual. Above is a page from his journal.
