Today’s “counter culture” is a haven for some of the most unwholesome people you’d ever want to meet, and use it as cover to go unnoticed, while partaking in the free-flow of drugs and sex. Charlie was the archetype.

I was unlucky enough to be in a truck stop when van loads of these freaks showed up. OMG! FILTHY, FOUL MOUTH POS’s.
Unbelieve!

About 20 years ago they met about 15 miles down the road from me. Filthy!

They only bring and leave garbage to an area.
