Hobo Shoestring
I've been riding freight trains since 1989 and have since ridden over 2,700,000 of steel rails in 49 USA states, eight provinces of Canada and 14 states in Mexico. I spent my first 31 years homeless riding trains then last year I had to get a small apartment because of medical issues. It's very hard having walls and a roof because I prefer to be outside. I still stay gone riding more than I stay in the little apartment. Doing my best after getting hit by a car December 13 and ran over by a train October 2017. Hand and arm healed quite well! I now have a merchandise website at the below link: https://www.shoestringarmy.com/store/ Thanks for watching!
