(40,102 posts)I was really good at being invisible then, on the road between San Onofre and Humboldt.
I'd already had plenty of practice avoiding middle and high school bullies who weren't much different than cops. Which is why I quit high school.
Came close to being caught a few times, mostly dumpster diving, but I usually presented as some crazy hungry homeless guy, mostly harmless, which I may have been on occasion.

Crossed paths with Helen Caldicott and her California entourage, then onward to young adulthood adventure. Nudity and everything! (No, not with Helen Caldicott, just some of the California entourage.)
My great aunt started to let loose her most scandalous Hollywood stories when she was in her later eighties. She and her sister, my grandma, had said "Oh, hell no," to the California dairy industry as teens.
My great aunt lived a few years past a century. Cancer killed my grandma before she was old enough to tell me her own true stories.
