YOU ARE COOL!! I would pick you up... :)

Yeah I pickup riders.. I picked up a 300lb+ woman once just north of LA on a freeway ramp.. after about 20 minutes I realized she was a HOOKER and she realized that I thought she was a htchhiker... what fiasco.. that was..

the same thing happened in Honduras.. i picked up a hitch hiker and it was a hooker... NO i did not get a hummer or handy...I just said sorry.. and then dropped them off..

I've hitchhiked a number of times. Sometimes I'd wake up after partying all night in another city or town. Not too far from home. No more than 30km usually. I got picked up right away and everytime. The most I stayed on the highway was for 15 minutes.

My mom and dad in the 70's hitchhiked all over Europe and Canada. They've told me all kinds of stories meeting so many people on the road. They had no car and very little money.

It's not it once was though. I try to avoid hitchiking now, but if i have to, then whatever, I'll do it. :)

I picked up hitchhikers a few times.

All of them were cool, it made for conversation on long boring drives. One even shared a joint with me.

I don't why many people are so afraid. Kindness needs to be spread around.

I hitched 120 miles one time, very interesting time, met some cool ass mothers. Also, every time i've ever seen someone hitching, i've picked them up, also met some cool people doing this. I've never had a bad experience with hitchin, but i know a lot of people that when i tell them i've done it and i've picked people up, look at me like im crazy as a loon.

I guess for whatever reason, there is a perception that everyone hitchiking is mass murderer. I am sure that it is perpetuated by the movies. I definitely would never hitch hike if I was a girl.

I once got picked up and rode 20 miles in a trash truck. Not in the back either. Right up in the passenger seat. Shit, I wanted to go dump some dumpsters. That would of been fun.

i hitchhiked from eureka cali. to grants pass oregon... like 300 miles or something....

with a halfpound on me.. lol

i got picked up by 2 girls and we smoked blunts the whole trip
