A couple weeks ago I read some article online i think at MSN about the disappearance of hitchhiking - I hadn't really thought about it but since I read the article I realize it's correct.
How many of you people are 35 plus? I'm 40 - from the age of 12 to 16 until I got my license and even after when I couldn't have the car I hitchiked everywhere - all kids did - short trips, long trips.
When did it stop? Why? Must be overprotective parents - cuz even back in my day parents weren't that crazy with it but for boys it was a fact of life.
Hitchhiking was cool - u got to meet some really nice people, some weird people and some scary people. And occassionally a hot older chick would pick you up
