I'm not too sure what forum to post this in, but I'll start here. I've never train hopped, but want to learn asap. If anyone's around Northern California (I live in Santa Cruz) and is interested in taking a short trip with me so I can get the basics down, it'd be much appreciated. I'm 20, laid back, and love dumpsters. You can e-mail me at rowan (at) riseup (dot) net.
