I've been in a spot for a long time...having to take to the roads on foot.and cover alot of territory. I've been picked up by folks from all WALKS OF LIFE. The conversations are interesting..at times non-existent.....But a few have literally taken me into their vehicle and shown me true compassion and un-relenting love...A nice couple picked me up once and bought me breakfast!!!! Another gentleman gave me $20 when I got out..to buy a nice shirt!!! In accepting these gifts/offerings...I felt a sort of glow..while feeling guilty for accepting charitable action from someone who doesn't even know me. The ones who pick me up are absolutely great people. Although a certain amount of bravery is involved on both ends....My courage has never failed me. My only worry is that the ones who trust me are not led to believe that all hikers are safe. Be careful and watch yourself. God Bless those who can see when someone who needs a lift.

Hey bud, don't let this world get you down. This world wounds many , but remember this world can not get the best of better men!
I fly a starship across the Universe divide
And when I reach the other side
I'll find a place to rest my spirit if I can
Perhaps I may become a highwayman again
Or I may simply be a single drop of rain
But I will remain
And I'll be back again, and I'll ride again!

In this day and age you have to be very careful. I'm glad your experiences have been good, though and that its given you faith in human kindness. I just worry about anyone hitchhiking...you never know who is going to pick you up. It could have been a Jeffrey Dahmer.

OMG, please stop hitching. Its absolutly crazy in todays world. But actually I do know what you mean. I went from North Florida to South Florida, to Virginia & back (about '80-83), and pp really did amaze me with their kindness.
