I like the idea of teaching a hitchhiker to fish rather than handing them the frigging fish. By this I mean- why tell people where the best place to dumpster is, or give away a great, hidden sleeping spot? Places to catch rides or where to get internet access is great, but otherwise teach in the zine HOW to find hidden resources and places but not WHERE. Overuse causes certain resources to dry up fast, especially in this information age where businesses or civil services keep tabs on what is being said about them and eliminate or police the resource to prohibit use. Just an idea... we are do-it-yourselfers... anyone who needs the road and all its wonders handed to them in detailed form probably should not be on the road to begin with. ;)

: I like your thinking! I would like to do Western Europe. We have the most data on it, and it's probably the most popular backpacker area. I recently got a copy of Ken Welsh's old ''Hitch-hiker's Guide to Europe'' and I don't really want to ''model'' after it, but I do like a lot of how it's done and I can't of want to use it as an example. Not a bloat of information, but not boring. As for a sub-Wiki, I can open one on a free wiki site or something. We might not even need to do that. I think we should just work on the wiki here and nominate pages, and after we're decided just design the zine straight from what we have here.
