Would really like to re-publish this on digihitch.com, with a link back. Let us know what you think! (Something to chew on-- hitchhiking is NOT illegal in the USA, though our government and transportation industries have no qualms letting people believe it is) Wonderful article of a hitchhiking trip and all the little joys and oddities that come out of it.

Taking this trip was, indeed, interesting. Andrea - I think that's really cool of you, to pick up travellers when you can. It's not always possible, of course, but it's great to return the karma you've been a recipient of. I'm leery of asking the cargo contents of some people ;] but I'd go nuts for a chance to fly in a Porsche! Kyah – thanks for stopping by! Taking this trip was, indeed, interesting.

And we did it in style, with signs prepared in advance and thumbs up. We never waited for more than half an hour, even if we announced in advance that we're broke. People (including cigarette smugglers and speed addicts in old porsches) are just nice that way.
