Benching Freight Train Graffiti in SoCal (03-13-2022)
Went out on Saturday to get flicks at a local graffiti spot, and came home feeling like I wasted my time out there. Got in a nice hike, thought I was going to be eaten by coyotes, but it was just one coyote and he didn't want to eat me. Maybe next time. So... Drove out to another spot Sunday where trains are coming/going all day long. Kinda' Pulled up as the first freight was almost gone, then I waited.... and waited.... Next freight seemed to take forever. Then it was like an hour until the next one. So three hours, and 2-1/2 freights. Not the worst thing in the world, but I was hoping for some more action than that. Caught a couple of cool pieces, wasn't at work, and wasn't cooped up at home, so all good!!
Seriously. If all you have to do is drive for a little while, park, and have art delivered to you while you sit in the comfort of your car. This could be considered by many as the perfect benching spot.
Most places I hike out to. It's hot, it's sandy, it's dusty, there's a chance of snakes, spiders, coyotes, and more importantly, there's a chance of sketchy people. The older I get, the more I try to avoid sketchy people, so this might actually be my perfect spot if it wasn't for the lack of a scenic backdrop, and tons of car traffic.
As always, thanks to the writers! Stay safe out there writers, and fellow benchers!
