Reply #14: Hopping freight trains through Utah [View All]

[Oracle]

years ago, brought me to Salt Lake City and Ogden Utah, those cities didn't seem to me to have too many liberals (if any) then, (seemed way too conservative for me) so I got the fuck out of there and back home to N CA (Tahoe, at that time) But what I always remember is the train I hopped, stopped on this bridge and it was a hot, hot day and I jumped off the train and into the Great Salt Lake below...and then got blown away...you can't sink in that lake (because of all the salt)...lie on your back all day with a beer and you just don't sink.
So I got out of the lake (because the train whistle was blowing) I hopped back on the flat car, where my backpack was and I realized, man did I smell like shit, (the lake was/is polluted) and my eyes burned like crazy for a long while. My only time in Utah...met a few great people hitching through the state, on that trip though.

There's liberals in every big city...but those aren't the real Americans says the pigman!
