I hitchhiked across the USA in the 79's, today I would not do it.
Too many crazy people out there.
Also the laws on hitching are tougher.

I dont think I would either. Not today. Its funny how time
changes things. I remember there were just as many girls
hitchhiking as guys and from the ones I met I never got one
bad story( sometimes they said they got out but ) Hey I allways
traveled alone and when I got stuck at an on ramp I walked out to
the highway and if a police came along I told them that the person
I was with was drunk and I just got out ( smile ) they would take
me to a good ramp ( they some ramps I was at for five six hours ??
I never had a watch. Had a backpack and small tent and at times
I would go up in the woods and camp overnight ( sometimes with a
girl that I had met and we would go up into the woods and smoke
pot and %$^&*$#@%^)(*&^%$%%$#@#$ for a day or two then we would go
our ways. You got any stories that you want to share

Never a good idea to travel by hitchhiking!!! Find a safer mode of transportation.

Not America but,
I was hitchhiking south from Turino to Genoa in the 80's, I got picked up by a trucker, we got to talking, he asked me where I was from and I said Minnesota, Funkytown came on the radio at about the same time, this Italian trucker knew that the song had been produced in Minneapolis, totally freaked me out.

There are a lot more strange people in cars than there are in trucks. Besides that cars can go on most any road, under low overpasses or down narrow crowded streets, so it is much safer to hitch a ride with a trucker than a car. Don't get me wrong, I am NOT saying that it is a good idea to do either. Go Greyhound! Lol.

eh i think hitchhiking is romanticized, most of the time its a miserable spooky experience. the only kind of men that give rides to other men are either weirdos, homosexuals or criminals. the 3 percent that are on the up and up are none t interesting either.
i cant imagine Any woman hitchhiking these days. anyone ever see that movie breezy? about the hippie girl that hitches?
