OFF TOPIC so I hope you don't mind me throwing this in... If so let me know and I'll delete it Dave H's post reminded me of a story my brother tells. He was backpacking around the US in the 80's. He wanted to go from Salt Lake City to Denver so he jumped a train. The the car he happened to jump was full of pigs. During the climb over the Rocky Mountians the train slowed way down then stopped. It was several hours later before it started moving again. During all this they had a snow storm. The temp got down well below freezing. He wrapped himself in his goose down sleeping bag and slept in the middle of the pigs. When they got to Denver the next day he read that the train he had hitched a ride on had lost nearly half of the pigs due the the freezing temps. He was lucky to have not froze to death and he hasn't jumped a train since.
