After gradualting HS my best friend and I misspent the summer before we both went into the Army, thumbing all over New England - Maine, Cape Cod, The Greens, The Whites... etc.

Way to much young, dumb, fun.

I was on the interstate in Arkansas in 67, not hitching but alking because I was trying to get 10 miles up the road to a Skelly where I could get on a truck. I got popped by a state cop on a charge of Walking On The Right Of Way Of A Public Thoroughfare". They took me to a little substation in suburban Little Rock thsat was manned by several miđle aged women who were mystified because there was no such charge in their books. They put me in one of the two little cells (cot and sink). The other held a couple of boys who's dađies had called the chief and said my kids are doing dope, please throw a scare on them. I slept and ate McD hamburgers for 3 days and then an officer came in and we were all lined up to go sê the judge. One of the ladies said to me hey not you, you are released. I said you can't do that, It's 25 miles to the Skelly and I'll just get busted again so she made the yardman take me to the Skelly where I quickly got a ride on a semi going east.
