0:00.0	I grew up in Ohio in the 70s and me and my childhood friend Joe were outside all the time.
0:19.5	Joe lived on a farm that bordered a pretty big forest and my parents would drop me off in the morning and
0:26.2	we'd stay in the woods all weekend.
0:29.8	We'd only come out for school.
0:32.2	Hell we loved pretending we were frontiersmen as we'd built
0:35.8	shelters, traps, and practice making fire with sticks the whole nine yards.

2:00.0	Well, one summer in the mid-90s, it worked out that we were both in town for about a week.
2:08.2	We'd do stuff with the family in the day, and at night we'd either catch drinks at the bar, or sit around Joe's house around a
2:16.4	fire and talk about the old days.
2:21.2	One night, me and Joe got to talking about our standby me trips.
2:27.0	Well, Nisalgia and Beer are a hell of a mix.
2:31.0	Soon we decided to take a day, walk the rails, camp one night, and walk home.
