Russell,
Ah, Gila bend!
  I also spent a sleepless night there once long ago when I had brown 
hair (and a lot more of it).
I was hitching East towards El Paso, Tx in the middle of a lovely warm 
night. Along came a freight train moving pretty slow in my direction. 
Now, I had never hopped a freight before and knew nothing about such but 
had wanted to try for a long time so here was my chance.
The bugger was a bit to fast for me though so I couldn't make it on, but 
then it backed up and passed me again but now in the wrong direction - 
but then back again in the right direction - made it on this time. So I 
settled down onto a nice bed of rocks ready for an easy trip East. But 
then it reversed again, shuttled me onto a siding and left!
I waited many hours before catching a ride in a car.

Looking forward,
Al Shinn
