I rode a 24 speed MT Bike across country last summer...on a whim. Left Boston On June 12Th Got home (ElDorado Ks) 9 1/2 weeks later,(Labor Day) All I had was My Bike an Trailer,Tent,Stove,Sleepin Bag,Clothes,Bike tools,Ect.
I left Boston With 120 Bucks. If it Wer'nt for the kindness of the folks I met I would have Starved,Stunk,My Bike would have not gotten the repairs it needed Ect.Homelessness isn't caused by any one thing, some folk have mental/emotional Problems,Some are Drug/Acohol related,AND Some of us do it Intenaully (sp) Any Tour/Deadhead can relate...There are just some experences that No amount of money can buy!!
Just in case yer wondering...I have a apt,Car(Shitheep) an work in a Balloon Factory...So not all homeless folk have Problems that put us there...some are just Round pegs in a Square System
