This could be one of the most interesting FR threads ever.

I hitched everywhere when I was a teenager.

The longest trip was in '76 from Los Angeles to Omaha, via Lake Tahoe and Reno...imagine a fifteen year-old long-haired kid with a backpack and a dog...

For about 7 years hitching was the only way I would travel. Even after Imarried I hitched with wife and baby.I figured once that I rode my thumb near 100,000 miles.
