Yeah I got offered some blow from this guy going from Salt Lake City to Seattle one time. He was on his way to Arcadia, California.
I turned it down. Never done coke.

I know a few people in Arcadia, CA. Hunter S. Thompson wrote a good deal of Fear and Loathing there too, if I recall.

last i hitched was i think july. my girlfriend and i just did a short one from san fransisco to big sur. it was rad, we even got a ride in a convertible. then we got to big sur and snorted about 40 + mgs of 2 cb.... it was too intense, we couldnt even move for about 3 hours, not a good trip. lol, i kinda have a fear of needles and thought the all of the dried pines on the floor were needles. hehe. but i also did reach this...... place i get to on high doses..... with 3 peaceful beings sitting cross legged and communicating to me that it wasnt time yet and not this time.

when i was 19 i went to europe for travel and hitched a little around spain. this one time, it was late april, andalucia, and the weather showed it. it had been raining on and off all day. i was poor and the only thing that i had on my mind all day were these bomb looking ice creams i'd seen in malaga. anyways, like i said, the weather was rather poor, mostly gray, definitive clouds looming over the wheat covered country side, with the occaisional radiant burst of sun rays hitting the far off lands. i wasnt hithin anywhere in particular, just going vaguely. i'd been picked up by an off duty cop going home who gave me candy, picked up by farmers and fishers who'd never left southern spain, let alone europe, been picked up by motorcycle, all in the course of a single day.... but mostly, i remember the girl....it was and stays one of the most emotional days of my life. i got let off near sunset in a small hardly-pass-for-a-town town, mostly just a road with a few stores. the first place that was open, i walked in. i ordered the ice cream i'd wanted all day and wolfed it down. i asked for tap water and thats it. after beating around the bush, i got the balls to ask the barkeep who owned the land behind the bar, it was a big farm, by the way. instantly, the lady asks, with out any hesitation, why? do you need a place to sleep? i reply with shocked eyes that yeah, id love one. she gives me a spot to set up my tent and i give her my thanks. i get inside and start writing in my journal. i was a bit emotional at the time, i kinda took off to europe cause id walked in on my gf of 2 years in bed with someone else. i was all set up in my tent when i hear a mans voice yelling. shit, i thought, he's prolly gonna kick me out. and so i peak out, and theres 2 men and a little girl about 10 feet from my tent. the little girl, not older then 7, 8 looks up at papa and he says its alright, go on, and leads her in the right direction. the little girl runs up and hands me a brown baggie with a bottle of juice. her shyness has her running back to papas side, and i say thank you very much for your kindness, and he just waves and says good night, and they walk away. inside the tent i open the bag. it had water, sandwich, fruits, veg, a whole fucking meal, man. could you believe that shit? good people? fuck, i started to cry, and right then, i shit you not, the rain came....

haha i think the first time i hitched, id gotten in a fight with my old man, i think i was 17, and i tried hitchin up north from LA.... LA is hard to hitch out of, by the way. this guy picks me up in an old pick up, but made me lie down in the bed because his dog was up front and "ole scruffy here, he dont like strangers too much". but he kept passing the whiskey from the front right on back to me. when he dropped me off, he handed me a 20. ahhh life.

Yeah, I totally noticed. So you're living in Bay area apparently?
I'm hitching on down to San Francisco in April to see my friend at the Art Academy.
What's the hitch down there like?
Oh, have you ever travelled 101? I mean, I've biked down it to San Francisco, but, never hitched it.

Totally. If anyone ever feels the urge, ride a bike up/down it.

Well, sometimes it is slim for sure. But, we did it, me and my cousin.
We spent more time in the water than we did on the road.

damn that seems like an epic ride! i heart riding bikes. but should be a piece of cake. i saw on a show that the stretch between oregon and the bay is the most hitched in the country. no doubt its the easiest from what i know. i ve just moved out to london, but ill hopefully be living back in berkeley end of may. if you need a place to crash in the bay, ill probably have you covered. ill do my best to make sure you have fun.

why the HELL can't anyone be safe hiking alone anymore? especially females? this is fucking ridiculous.. hiking is one of the biggest ways to get away from everyone and everything.. now it's just too dangerous.
its really not any more dangerous then back in the day. hell, id even say less. i mean, do you have a cell phone? that might help if your a girl. ya know before yout get in a call text the lic # to a friend. but hey, if your in ore, i might be passing through there in may. you could come with me to the bay.
