When I got out of the AF back in 1980, took a bus to chi-town, got ripped off for a bag of weed, bought two bottles of Gold Tequila, new weed order, got a greyhound to Seattle, hung out and met some unsavoury ppl, then hooked up with a " magasine subscription outfit" worked my way to Sacramento, then hitched to Washington dc. Got a lift to Rock Springs wyoming, (looking back the guy was high AF), he booked a room in some motel, striaght-up no homo, this was back in the day when even strung out ppl where ok. then he went to the office made a call and said to me that I have the room for three days if I want it. OF COURSE! I stayed, then I had to leave. Walked back to the interstate, used bushcraft so I didn't freeze. Then continued on my journey. One week after arriving at home, my last paycheck with adjustments and all came in the post (982$), called my mom she cashed the check with rebate, and three days later I was on a flight back to London. Hitchhiking is a fantastic way to travel. I am now 60 in dec. thinking of hitching across Europe as a B-day gift- once more into the breach my freind.

7 years ago I hitchiked 30 miles daily to and from work. Never had trouble getting a ride. Usually hitchhiking short distanves takes me about twice as long as driving myself the same distance.
In 2007 my then girlfriend (now wife and mother of 7 children) and I hitched from Dallas to San Francisco, then down to San Diego. From Texas to the California border every ride was truckers. If I remember it was only three rides but the last guy wouldn't take us across the California border.
San Fransicko was disgusting and full of degenerates even then.

Hitchhiking on 70 seems a whole lot like going from bad to worse, regardless of the direction.

The last time I saw a hitchhiker was some years ago when I was driving on the Cross-Bronx expressway after a job when I noticed a "white" guy with a cardboard sign saying, "Boston" near an off-ramp a few exits passed Yankee Stadium. I can only pray the poor dumb bastard made it there safely.

It is less common, so are many other typical high social trust activities. Letting kids play in the neighborhood unsupervised, hitchhiking… I think tv gaslighting how terrible and dangerous everything is, and the rise of multiculturalism (less aligned values and more violent cultures) play in. I’ve done it, and I e licked people up, no problem was ever had. I’m far far away at the moment, and now it’s a daily occurrence that I give someone a ride, total strangers that don’t speak the same language as me. Neither the media nor Africans are a part of society here…

I do hitchhike sometimes. And I pick hitchhikers when I see one. I never had shady stuff happen. I'm not sure I would do it if I was a woman tho. I don't know why. I've been pick up by women before and I've picked up women too.

I picked up a hitch hiker once during a downpour and dropped him off at truckstop and gave him $20.

Long ago, as a young Marine, I hitched all over California and North Carolina. I sometimes hitched in Texas when I got back home, when I was "between" cars. I didn't have much money. It was a different time back then. I met a lot of great people. There were a few times though when I kept my hand on my knife for the whole ride.

After I was discharged in 1972, I hitchhiked from Detroit to SF, then to LA, then to Las Vegas - I hitchhiked back to Detroit about 3 years later - all in all it was an unforgettable experience.
