  I forget when I first hitched a ride, but it a lot of it was in my 20s
and 30s.
  Never had a problem.
  One time I was hitching home from college (about 200 miles) and about 30
miles from here it was grew dark and cold.  A couple in a pick up gave me a
ride, in the open back and supplied a blanket.
  I recall being stuck in one spot for over three hours.  I pass that place
and think of that long day when I would drive back to Morgantown.
  One ride I got to here from Morgantown was with a old station wagon full
of aging hippies.  When the door opened smoke rolled out like a Cheech and
Chong movie.  They were all smoking pot, one joint after another.  They were
all rather mellow.  :)
  I once got a ride in semi and liked the view from way up there.
