The End of the Open Road: The Inside Story of How Hitchhiking Died

quote [ The hitchhiker has been transformed in the public imagination from an unencumbered youth finding adventure across our vast nation to a crazed and dangerous maniac with a homicidal sneer. To pick one up is to meet a death of grotesque proportions?to hitch as a woman, an invitation to be brutally violated. ]

What kind of adventures have you had while thumbing a ride?

I've never hitched, never had the need. I did pick up a hitch hiker once through in Oregon. Within 2 minutes he tried to sell me weed and asked me to smuggle him across the border in to Canada. I politely declined both.
