There were a few scary things, so I'll just say the one that comes to mind. A man picked me up and pretty soon I realized he was crazy. He soon explained that he was on the run from the police in Washington and that if he saw the police he may "roll over into the ditch. If that happens we both jump fence and run like Hell!" He then explained that he was going to hide the car and "hide in plain site" in Arcata, CA, where I was going. While in the city I repeatedly saw him homeless in town square screaming scream-o music at the top of his lungs with a blanket wrapped around himself. He kept giving me these looks like "you know who I am..."

Many methods, my personal favorite was just asking restaurants if they had any mistake orders or other throw-away food. You'd be surprised how many folks would be happy to give you a meal if they like what you're doing.

Sorry, NSA.

No hobo.

Long story short, my parents are extremely religious and abusive. My friends were mostly made through the church and my atheism didn't sit well. I decided to start over and make friends (and a family) based on mutual values. Lot more there, let me know if you're more curious.
