Quote from: bad topiccome visit eman in seattle too
I'd say come visit me in the bay area but sounds like hes headed east
visit everyone
Quote from: Ashingtonvisit everyone
visit the whole world!
Okay I'm headed east toward Pennsylvania wednesday morning. Pennsylvania looks pretty good; I can travel the interstate while avoiding major cities. Major cities are sand traps. I got stuck in St. Louis on friday and had to just
walk through it the next morning.
Funny thing though, right before I got to the highway I randomly met up with another hitchhiker my age who was headed the same direction. I can't remember his name but he started in California and was trying to get to Chicago. He was a pretty cool guy; We talked about life, girls, and all the weird shit we've seen so far. We paired up and once we got far enough from the city we were able to flag down a trucker who took me all the way across Illinois, while dropping him off halfway. I'm surprised at how many cool people I've met.

Yeah I'm gonna hit up skyline tonight. People keep telling me to check one out.
Sorry man Athens is too far from a major highway. I could get stuck there for awhile.
Quote from: MarcKwhile you're around come to edinboro. it's all the way northwest PA
You're to far north, though there's a slim chance I'll be around there at some point.

DILLY! It would be rad as fuck to hang out with you but you guys gotta understand: I'm only purposely stopping places that I KNOW FOR CERTAIN I can crash there for the night. Yeah, stopping to hang out would pretty much mean I would need a place to say and realistically, I don't know how many of you want internet hitchhiker man you've never met before sleeping on you're couch. I've called and talked to the people I'm seeing WAY in advance.
Dilly, I'm probably gonna blow right through here on wednesday. Though I am still here tomorrow, so if you really wanna hang out just let me know and we can figure something out. If not, I 'll probably just see you at Comic Con anyways

I'm leaving wednesday morning, so I could be there that night or 2 days after that. There really is no way of telling what kind of rides I'm gonna get so I'll just call you and let you know as things go on.
Quote from: Casey PixmintroYeah spite come visit me and marc, it's on the way to wherever. Do it
Sounds good man I appreciate it but, you guys are a little too north. I could be around there like next week as I may hit up Michigan but probably not.
Quote from: bad topiccome visit eman in seattle too
Other side of the country man. Thanks though!
my brother is a trucker and travels like everywhere i will tell him if he sees you to honk his horn thing at you and keep on driving as he pulls through a puddle and splashes water all over you

Hurf.
I keep getting asked the same questions over and over again so im gonna do a f.a.q. thing in here.
Why did you do it?
Because
How did you hitchhike?
I would stand on the shoulder at the end of an on-ramp with my thumb out or hold a sign that read where I was trying to get to. I also got a few rides from just talking to delivery drivers and truckers at gas stations.
How much money does it cost to hitchhike?
$0.00
What did you bring?
clothes, tarp, sleeping bag, boxcutter, food, water and money in a secret stash in case I got mugged.
Is hitchhiking illegal?
In every state I went through, hitchhiking was NOT illegal. I had a print off in my back pocket of road laws pertaining to "soliciting a ride" for each state I was traveling in. It helped when dealing with cops and for the most part I just had to make sure I was on the shoulder.
Any hot babes pick you up?
To my surprise, I actually did get picked up by a fairly attractive young girl, who was traveling with her 2 year old kid. She was a stripper who had just visited her husband in jail and was headed from Columbus Ohio to some small city at the edge of West Virgina. Starting out she asked if I smoked pot. I declined but was handed a bag of weed and asked if I could break it up. I picked seeds and stems out of a bag while she told me about her life and how her husband would kill her if he knew she had picked me up. I handed her the bag back. She rolled a joint, smoked it and then bought me McDonald's.
Later on she asked me if I wanted to stay with her at her place until she went to work around midnight. Where there, I could "do" a girl and probably get a ride from her in the morning.
The way she said it; I still don't know if I was being offered a threesome, a couple chances at sex with 2 separate women or maybe just a friendly, strictly platonic sleepover with some strippers. Regardless, I declined saying I had somewhere to be. She then gave me her phone number in case "I changed my mind."
Okay, this is where it gets fun. She pulls into her town, stopping at her house and asks me to come in saying she has some things to take care of. These houses are built in rows up a hill almost of top of each other, and each row is separated by narrow roads. I had to walk up this stair case that was more like a 10ft cliff to get to her condo. It had a deck looking over most of the town and a river at the bottom. It was a fucking badass neighborhood. Especially at sunset with autumn colored trees.
I play mario64 with her kid, while she goes next door for some reason. After about 10 mins I see through the door window some fatass redneck sporting nothing but a mullet and pair of boxers walking out onto the deck. Meanwhile this kid is running around bomb-oms shouting "aahh noo bawlll! aah noo BAWLL!" Almost naked mullet man see's me, pretends to look around for a minute and then goes back inside with his ass hanging out. The stripper comes out, says shes ready to go and we head towards her car.
Where there, she lets me know the entire time we've been driving shes had about $1600 dollars worth of weed in her trunk and she now has to sell it. I just shrugged my shoulders, "Yeah, okay sure." We drove around handing bags of weed to guys in hooded sweatshirts before meeting up with some other dealers in a parking lot, who agreed to buy what she had left for $1400. The other dealers were a married couple around 30 years old and had 2 kids with them. I remember the girl looking like a midget who wasn't short. like her arms and legs were too short or something.
The deal went down back at her house, where I played with the kids in the front, while the goods were inspected and paid for inside. After a bit, the couple came out with the weed stuffed in a childrens spider-man backpack and they ended up taking me the rest of the way through West Virgina to a nice truck stop in Pennsylvania.
and yeah that's the story of the only girl who gave me a ride.
How much time does it take?
There's no way of telling what kind of rides you'll get and at what frequency you'll get em. So. there's no way of telling how long it will take to get some where. I got from KC to Cincinnati in 2 days. Then from Cincinnati to Allentown in a day. From there to NY it was a little over an hour bus ride.
Where did you start/vist/end?
Kansas City, MO>St. Louis, MO>Cincinnati OH>Allentown PA> New York, NY
~1200 miles
^fucking awesome all of it
So did you do like a friend of mine and research hitch hiking before hand? I guess there's forums where you can get tips about how to go about it.
