I doubt that our children would ever think of doing it.<br /><br />When my dad was in college (in Texas), he used to hitchhike EVERYWHERE. Apparently lots of college boys did. Once, he hitched all the way from TX to NYC. Funny how your story revived that memory for me.Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7131844.post-13510621666943241452009-07-03T00:24:42.667+02:002009-07-03T00:24:42.667+02:00Ahhh, me too, back when I was young & free &am...Ahhh, me too, back when I was young & free & felt safe.

You hardly ever see them in the UK anymore, apart from long distance lorry drivers who stand on the motorway with their plates and get picked up by other truckers. <br /><br />Brave lady.
