Escaped from Atlanta. Thou shalt not return, 'cause 'the west is the best.' And now after two rambling years comes the final and greatest adventure. The climactic battle to kill the false being within and victoriously • conclude the spiritual revolution. Ten days and nights of freight trains and hitchhiking bring him to the great white north. No longer to be poisoned by civilization he flees, and walks alone upon the land to become lost in the wild." -Alexander Supertramp; found written on a piece of plywood inside the bus.
