impgl said: 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.
Sounds awesome!

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.
i've thought of that texting idea too. let the person who pick you up SEE you do it too

Yeah, I don't have a cell-phone, but, that is definitely a nice insurance on your safety.
I've even heard from fellow hitchers to always do that.
Hitching is surprisingly, VERY safe, if you're smart, polite and have enough will.

the only time i've ever had close to a problem, i was stuck hitchin out of santa barbara, hell of a place to try and get a ride, took me all morning. i decided to just walk around the streets with a sign say san fransisco and after a few hours, some guy driving by in a shady car does a double look at me, busts a bitch, and tells me he could give me a lift as far as this n that up the coast. i was a little sketched out, but said fuck it. this guy was from out of town, and like 40 and bald and all trying to impress me by calling actors and actresses by their first name "oh yeah my buddy leo, oh you probably know him as leonardo dicaprio...." whatever buddy. anyways, i had quit blazing for a couple of weeks, which back then was a loooong time, and this dude busts out his nug jar and he's all yeaaaaaah look at this, good shit huh? it was aight. anyway, guy starts bustin out his rolling kit, scissors, papers, crutch, etc. and i ask if he wants me to roll it. he rolls the most beutiful jay ever, one handed, while driving along the cali coast....awesome. So im stoned, and guy starts touching me, right? he says stuff like "you play volleyball? you feel like you do" while stroking my thigh. at first i was like, nah its weed paranoia. after a few times though, i tell myself that if he does it again, im going to ask to get dropped off. i look at the door though, and realize that theirs no door handle. uh oh. so i reach for my knife, just in case. and sure enough, guy leaves his hand on my thigh for too long. i say, aw man right heres fine. its like no where man, some deserted strech of coast haha. guy pulls over and gives me his number, has to open the door from outside though. and thats it! no problem! the best part though, i was stoned for the first time in a couple of weeks, and im hungry, no stores, and i decide to take a walk up this little road. lemme tell you, this shit was a PERFECT spring day. Deep electric blue skies, a couple of white definitive clouds puffing by, bright rolling green hills until the eyes could see. i was sooooo fucking happy. there were even cows with bells just eating grass all around me. i couldnt stop grinning. i hitched back down to the beach with a nice family, and when i got there, i just dropped my bag, got naked and started running up and down, jumping and swimming. it was the shit. no sirree, you cant get an experience like that through a travel agent.
