When's the last time you've done it? I got to do it today, after I left my phone at home, and my car broke down between Fort Worth and Denton. I got to ride in a semi.
few years ago.. i was at a festival and some dirty hippies were trying to hippienapp me.. i didn't wanna go with them freaks.. so i snuck away from them when i had the chance and caught a ride home with two nice african men and a massage therapist lady.
Last time i hitched it, I was pregnant and broke down on the road and me and Scott were hitching to wal mart for a new car battery.
True that, I've had some shitty stuff happen to me while hitching it alone, but when I'm with someone else I've not had a problem.
Oh yeah, it's a bit more dangerous for girls. It's a bit dangerous for me even, and I'm a meanie. :biggrin: But it was like 25 Miles to Fort Worth. Not an unwalkable distance, but close.
I used to live outside of Fort Worth and yea it would be a helluva walk. Haven't hitchhiked in many many years, used to all the time when I was younger, but it was different times then.
A few months back. For the couple months I was in HI, it was pretty much at least a once daily ritual. People kind of just pick you up. Many times I didn't even have to thumb it. Met some cool cats.
Last time I hitched was last fall. Last time I Picked up a Hitcher was 2 months ago. Times haven't changed. People may hitch less, but its still easy to get a ride if you know how/where. Its not dangerous at all if you follow the rules, and your intuition.
Over here, people stop and offer you lifts if they see you walking. It's cool. I also now do it. I have carried quite a few monks on the back of my shitty motorcycle. Anyway, I last hitched a lift to a service station after I fucked up my bike about a month ago.
I hitchhike a fair bit. I have not since summer though as I have not left the city since then and I don't hitch in the city- more when I'm leaving town and going on the highway... so last time would be the beginning of last September. I love hitching, I've met the most amazing people who have taught me the most amazing things. Been having withdrawls latley...starting to hitch the clouds, and insects, and birds a lot more these days and they just never stop for me.
Not in a year or two. Picked up some hitchhikers on the way from the liquor store around a week ago. Crazy conspiracy theorist hippies... reminded me of HHB. It was pretty fun talkin' to them though.
its been a while for me, i usually make a call or walk if i cant fix the car right there (flat, etc).
