I plan on hitchhiking for the first time this summer, from colorado to utah, arizona,nevada,california, oregon,washington,montana,wyoming then back home. reading these posts makes me feel alot more comftorable about thumbing it. There is so much world to see and I might as well start somewhere. True there is always a chance of danger while hitchhiking, but everday activities prove to be just as dangerous.

My Uncle Jake was your ride to Denver on July 15, 2009. Me, my Grandma and Jake just finshed reading and watching your slideshow, and we loved it!! My Grandma loved the book Walk Across America and your travels remind her of it. Jake wants to know how your girlfriend is doing. We also want you to know that you are welcome to stay with any of us here in Joplin, MO if you are ever out this way.

Be safe!!

I helped organize somehting simular. We did a race with 12 people hitchhiking accross Canada a few years ago. We had a hostel international sponsor and and waited for people at each major city before moving on. took 10 days to get everyne from halifax to vancouver (including a few days of drinking,naked body searches, and dead birds, and underage pornostars.) Im in Japan at the moment… was thinking of trying to get people on board for a race from shanghai to paris next year ish…

I was just wondering if anyone hitchhiked anymore, I used to all the time but haven’t in a while and never see anyone thumbing a ride, glad to see it’s still a travel option!

As a father, I was not real sure of letting my son travel this way at first. We have discussed it and now keep in touch when he is on the road. He has seen more of the world than I have, and I was in the Marine Corps for 21 years. If you get a chance go for it.

Wow remember the 60’s / 70’s I hitched to work for a year, faster than driving, lot of gay guys picked me up, I just acted like I didn’t notice.
Used to give a ride to anyone (pay back to the world)girls especially.
It was safe then, and would probably safe now, but now we live in fear of that one in a million incident
It was a great way to get around for kids
