Wishing to train hop... needing advice.

So, I've been stuck in this town for eighteen years... and I'm sick of it. I'm nestled against the largest air force base and it is all weighing on my mind. I'm not a wage-slave any longer, and I'm looking for communes and squats, but to get to any places, I know I need to train hop. I've been reading about train hopping for a little while and have taken great interest in it. Transportation should be free, as should be our existence on this Earth, but unfortunately that isn't so any longer.

I'd like to know if anyone could give me advice on train hopping, point me in direction of communes/squats, or if anyone is up for meeting and train hopping together? I have a few people I know here that are interested in leaving this place as well, but we all need a bit of direction. I'm eager to learn if anyone is eager to teach.
