Yeehaw!

You find a cowboy hat
And you shake it all about
You lose a cowboy hat
And you’re full of doubt

You find a cowboy hat
And you shake it all about
You lose a cowboy hat
And you’re full of doubt

Woah the stacky wacky.
You write on stacker news
And you gain it back
That’s what it’s all about.


Congratulations!

There was no more walking.

Sure if there is still time let’s make it an entry! 

My legs were wrecked once I made it to Anglesea. I had visited my friends parents in the morning and they gave me all their empty bottles and cans. Plus it was my friends birthday and they were off to play golf with him. They let me have a shower and gave Russell and myself some food. 

I told them about the squatting and they were cool with it. We also laughed about the contrast of the difference between my friends birthday this year and last year because on his birthday last year I was undertaking a plumbing apprenticeship and we had all gone out to dinner and now I’m travelling around unemployed living in a van with my dog.

They dropped me off at the recycling machine, I cashed in my bottles and then walked back into town. In town I walked around and met a few different people and stayed following them for my instagram social media experiment. I asked a bus driver how much it was to Apollo Bay and he said $5.50 and if I wanted to bring Russell I would need a cage.

So I started looking for a cage my best bet was the Op shop unfortunately they didn’t have a cage big enough for Russell. Fortunately though I met a lovely lady out the front of the Op shop, her name was Kerry. Kerry is a 71 year old lady who was going through quite a bit. She had a lovely staffy Winnie who had passed away. I started to tell Kerry my tale and she said she was supposed to me meeting a friend in Torquay but that friend hadn’t replied so would I like a lift to Lorne and said yes I would love one.

Before I met up with Kerry again for my lift my old man called me and asked how far I had gotten and I told him about my lift to Lorne. He asked if I would like him to come meet me in Lorne and give me a lift back to Apollo Bay and I said yes please thank-you very much. So looks like I had the rest of the trip back to the van sorted.

In the car ride back to Lorne Kerry and I talked about all kinds of things I told her about my wife dream and how I meet her but we are fighting at the moment and she said that sounds like true love and I was lucky to experience such a thing as it is very rare for someone to experience and I agreed with her. We also discussed suicide as her partner had killed himself and she and Winnie had discovered his body hanging in the house. 

In the car she was very happy that Russell was sitting on Winnie’s blanket and she told me about where Winnie used to rest her head in the car. When we got to Lorne Kerry gifted Russell Winnies old drinking bowl and we met her friend Dave it was hilarious because they both acted like teenagers towards each other.  It was heartwarming to see and Kerry told me she had known him since she was 20. We got some smokes of Dave and waited for my old man to turn up. When dad arrived he and Kerry had a chat about Staffys as my Dad is a big dog lover. Kerry and also swapped contact details and then I was off to Apollo Bay with my old man. Finally I would be back with the van.

Everywhere is within walking distance

I didn’t hike all the way. I thought about it but my feet betrayed me! 

if you have the time. ~ Steven Wright

Let me tell you stackers I have done some walking and it has been a very busy week. I found a house in a town called Barwon Heads. I knocked on the neighbours door and asked what the deal with the house was. They filled me in that it was foreign owned and had been vacant since they moved in. My best guess was that it has been empty since 2020. It is a 5 bedroom two story house! I told the neighbours I moving in and I’ll be back in a week. Here are some photos of the place with my stuff in it.

First I turned up with my Ute and parked that in the garage. It was good timing because my insurance and rego had just ran out. Then I had to get back to my van which was 115km away in Apollo bay. It was now about 8ish in the morning and I decided to leg it. I was going to meet my friend along the way but the universe had other plans and took me on a different adventure along the beach to Torquay. The town where I spent then first 20ish years of my life.

I also took a naked deep in the nudie beach in Torquay which was very refreshing. I collected 33 cans that were scattered along the roads before I got to the beach which scored me a grand total of $3.30. I have been quite serious about my can collecting. 

![](https://m.stacker.news/106274)

After I cashed in all my cans and bottles I kept on walking and I started collecting bottles and cans again. I asked some lovely people if I could have their empties and we ended up swapping tales and they bought me dinner, dog food and water. The generosity of the people and the community that I have discovered has been a true blessing. 

Later that night I tried sleeping in a public toilet which only lasted an hour and then a bench outside a closed down restaurant which I think last an hour and a half. I got tired of this and decided to keep walking at this point my legs were quite sore already as I had been walking barefoot. So I put on my indoor slippers. Russell and myself continued our journey and had another sleep under a tree on the beach for an hour and a half and then kept on walking. We reached Anglesea and it was about 8 in the morning so what seemed like a full days worth of walking with naps, can collecting, naked swimming, meeting people, enjoying nature. Seems well worth the sore legs. We visited friends parents told them I was squatting and they were supportive and gave me there extra cans and dropped me off at the can collecting station… 

And that’s all for now because I’m sleepy and can’t be bothered but tune in next time for more of my bizarre adventures.

What will happen next?
Will I make it back to the van?
Am I still squatting?
Will there be more walking?
Who knows?

Yeah I know about the friendly userness. I’m getting into analog photography so I’m not worried about the camera and the planned obsolescence annoys me.

Perhaps I’ll get a phone just for calls and stick to computers for my posts and bitcoin related work.

I’m revisiting this post https://stacker.news/items/193161 to get rid of all my apple products. Just curious if anyone has anything to add or update someone mentioned @DarthCoin has a good article about ditching apple which I will give a re-read.

What a joke I’m homeless and I still have my dog!

Out of fuel!

I am an artist
There is no retirement plan for me
I’ll do this all my life
It’s makes me feel free

I am an artist
I have a dollar to my name
I am the happiest in my life
I live with no shame

I am an artist
I travel all over the land
Whether it’s painting, photography or poetry
My art supplies are grand

I am an artist
That’s all I’ll ever be
May you enjoy my work
As higher powers flow through me

I am an artist.

Yeah im driving about another hour away. I have funds pending and I’ll just go recycle more cans to make money. 

I have run out of fuel for about 3rd or 4th time this month. Yet everything is fine. The kindness and generosity of complete strangers has been more than enough to keep me going. I have received, showers, food, clothing, money and so much more all without asking only by talking to people and telling them my tale.

This has been an incredible spiritual journey no rich person (money wise) would be able to experience this generosity and love from the community. My heart is wide open and I am so happy with my fellow humans. 

Here are some of my most recent adventure photos.
