I managed to hitchhike from the bay area to the Canadian border and back to California. I met lots of really cool people. Contrary to popular belief nowadays most people don't want to murder you.
- the_only_law 4y ago> Contrary to popular belief nowadays most people don't want to murder you. Sure, but when I look at things like Nextdoor this is the prevailing attitude regardless of whether it’s true or not.
- throwaway742 4y agoDefinitely. I do feel like this attitude has contributed to the decline in hitchhiking in recent years. Still there are enough decent people to make it viable. I did end up having to wait a while in some areas to get a ride (pro-tip wear sunscreen). Anecdotally every single person who picked me up smoked weed although in CA/OR/WA that might have just been a coincidence.
