my dad used to tell a 90 minute story about him hitchhiking up new york, across canada, then down to LA and back across the us to new york again. crazy shit about him jumping trains and pretty much everything you can imagine. he was actually just recollecting today about how sketchy the cops are in texas about hitchhiking.
most of my personal experiences have taken place while I'm intoxicated. I hitchhiked from my town to binghamton ny, then from there to kingston then back home. I barely remember much of it, except for telling dudes (doubt any bitch has the gall to pick my scummy ass up) that my grandmother had just passed away and I needed to visit home asap. its usually hippie folk or older backwoods men that will pick you up, I think the average citizen is pretty sketched out about hitchhikers in 2007.
on a serious note, frankerberry if your're really planning on taking a trip by means on hitching, DO NOT carry a knife or anything that could be perceived as a weapon on you. you'll have more problems than are worth if the people who were nice enough to give you a lift see that shit, or worse a cop decides to take you home and makes you empty your pockets first. be smart.
