Too many of those drivers willing to pick up riders today have motives other than just helping a fellow traveler.<br /><br />To your point about fearing for your life at times, we were probably just naive.

Doug, you want to chime in? I hitched back and forth across Pennsylvania with a wide array of drivers, some of whom made me/us fear for our lives. Later, I did the Poughkeepsie to Bridgeport route a handful of times.

In California, we'd go up to the ranch or the "Lake." (Lake Tahoe) In Hawaii, we'd go to the beach....it didn't matter if it was summer or winter.
