heres a question for all of you. who would get away with it longer serrial killer hitch hiking and killing the people who pick him up or serrial killer killing hitch hikers he picks up?
and on a side note once i picked up some hippy dude from fort bragg once ( ostly cus he had a kitten with him) and he was a super chill guy. smoked me out. i showed him some sights. then drove way out of my way to get him on the right track home.
there are cool people out there

I was going on a two hour drive once to a big city... I think it was for a party. Anyway, my girlfriend at the time was driving and she's like "this dude seems okay and is going where we're going, let's take him."
So we did. Cleared all the valuables out of the backseat and let him ride. He was a fairly cool guy, obviously a drug user but he was our age at the time. He offered us a joint and I was all for it but she didn't want to smoke up her car so we didn't end up partaking. At the end of the ride, bought him a sandwich and said goodbye and good luck.
Not a bad experience.
Personally I've never INTENDED to hitchhike but I've accepted rides from people on my way to work.
Once was from a cop and I was totally baked, like as in I'd JUST finished smoking five minutes before he pulled up. I had a pipe and an eighth in my pocket but I took the ride anyway. He was a really cool guy it turned out. Talked to him about being a cop for a while and then got dropped off at work.
One of the few "good" cops I've met.
Another time I got a ride from some dude who was obviously gay, about forty and pretty cool. I gave him a card for a free drink at the coffeeshop I worked at at the time.
AND one last experience of note, I got picked up by a guy who as it turned out lived in and OWNED the subdivision I was living in and he was really cool, asked why I was walking and offered to sell me an old Mercedes he had for like half off market price. I looked at it and it was in NICE condition with ALL the paperwork for repairs and everything. It was an amazing offer but I opted to buy a moped instead.
I'd like to hitchhike across the US someday.

If I got to walk I will. I'll even throw up a thumb from time to time. I pick up hitchhikers when my mood feels like it. Haven't done it for a while. But I will probably loose my license and be forced back to prior modes of transport.
if i pick people up they often get me high or throw me a couple bucks, normally pretty cool.
One time i was driving cross country and got to this crazy cool reservoir in the mountains that has hot springs coming down into the res. When ever I'm in the area I'll camp out. Well this was around this time of year. Just got through a bad storm in Idaho drove all day through up into the cascades. As I was pulling into the service road for the res round 2am, i found a man walking down the street wearing a bear skin. I pulled over and he asked if i was heading to the springs. Now this is in the middle of know where. He asked if his brother could come too. I said sure he showed me the skin and said this is my brother. Do you want to be reborn to night? He said come with us and be reborn tonight in the springs. I noticed he was only wearing wool socks and it was raining. He was a really nice guy. I said I'll go and be reborn in the morning. I'll pass tonight and dropped him off at the trail head. I camped out down the road by the river. The next morning I woke up to go take the dog and check out the hot springs. Just a 1/4 mile up the trail. Real nice place. Has been used for a thousand some years. But on the trail as I was walking I started finding bits and pieces of the bear. A claw here a tuff of fur and leather there. Just placed along the trail.
At the spring the dudes clothes were there placed by a tree. He wasn't around. He was just gone, naked into the woods. So i got into the spings and just lounged around. It was almost surreal.

the driver could probable go longer w/o being caught
the hitchhiker would have a steady stream of victims, but "his" killing pattern would most likely leave a trail.
the driver would have fewer victims but I'm sure "he" would be harder to track, not to mention the people "he" kills could probably go missing for sometime before anyone notices

Yeah, there is fucking INCREDIBLE people about the roads.
There this modern paradigm our culture has that all hitching is bad, and on so many levels. Movies like "The Hitcher" and pop culture don't help.
If you want to have a profound, liberating, mind-opening experience, there is nothing like a good week, month, year long hitch. I am so serious.

I've been hitching since i was 16. Mostly to Vancouver and back, but i also hitched a ride from calgary to toronto.
Hitching in the states sucks, its illegal in most states, state troopers are pricks. I had a hell of a time hitching from florida to vancouver, so i mostly took trains.
I've met many super cool people hitching who kick me down drinks/food/money - most just want an ear to listen, or someone to keep them awake for a long drive. Most people that pick me up are male, and have hitched before. I've found since ive been 21 (im 22 now) that hitching is pretty hard.. I wonder if i lost my innocence?
I've had rides smoke joints and give me cocaine before. (this is very common.)
I get many rides with "spiritual" people.
Id rather ride a train or a bus now a days, im tired of telling the same old story when hitching, also tired of seeing cars pass me by.

That's really too bad. I'm only 18 and I never thought of how it'd be in a few years. Well I have, but not the reality of it, I guess.
But, I totally feel you on the whole same story thing. It can get so repetitious.
Do you enjoy hopping trains? I have a cousin who prefers that over a hitch ANY day.

a lot of people around here (pacific northwest) hitchhike, and i'd love to hear more stories. i'd really love to hitchhike around europe or new zealand or australia, but i would feel safer with someone else, being that i'm only nineteen and female.
but i found this on stumble one day. thought it was amazing: http://www.codysmart.com/hitchhiking.html
Get a mini glock, you never know when you'll need to kill a stranger.

Free cocaine? maybe I should hitch hike more.

The guy with the coke was just gettting divorced, and i seen him drop off the papers. As such he was celebrating and stoping every so often to mix drinks. We took a ferry and did coke out of a contact lens case.

yeah ive picked up hitchhikers and also gotten lots of rides, mostly in northern california. you can get raped/murdered anywhere, and besides, if someone tries to murder you when you are going 80 down the freeway, and a struggle ensues... its just not smart, you'll crash and both die.
i got picked up by this girl, she had one of those automatic gps map things, i dunno what they are called, and she told a story about someone who had one of the talking ones. it said "take a left here" and the person swung the steeringwheel and they went flying over the curb and into a store.

I picked up a full bird colonel on the side of an interstate one day, took him 400 miles back to fort mac. turned out to be a really cool guy for an officer, he thought he was luck getting a ride to his destination... he walked for 6 hour before I stopped
