Oh, you have a way of bringing back the memories, James. I hitched all over the US and Canada back when any ride seemed like a good one. Yikes, 5 days with my thumb out on a freeway ramp in Tulare, CA, sleeping in the bushes at night, thought I'd never get out of that place.

Wait, did I say thanks for the memories? :) Well, other places went smoother, so yes. Thanks. Good job, great adventures on your part. Thanks for sharing!

Hi, Victor! Cool you did that much hitchhiking. Somehow, I'm not surprised. : ) I've been across the states and from Cal to Louisiana a few. For the most part hitching served me well. 5 days in Tulare. That's brutal! Thanks for telling me! Glad to have reminded you.

Yeah, but I never got busted for hitchhiking. Just lucky I guess. Maybe they ran out of tickets giving them to you...:)

"I can explain." You had me laughing with that one. I've got a few hitchhiking stories of my own but I never ended-up in jail. I give you great credit for your persistence, my friend.

Hi Jim! Hitchhiking is not something I would like to be doing in this day and age. It was fun while it lasted and I was young. : ) I'm looking forward to The Loyalty Bar!

Thanks for this great story! I am positive none of it was funny at the time, but it sure is funny now! The next time you guys need bail, call me. I don't have a dime, but I would just like to congratulate you. I would like to get into a bit of trouble, myself, but can't remember where to begin any more. And PLEASE - sometime show us of photo of you in the early 1970s, James Ron!

Hi Sharron! Thank you. It is funny now. I'm glad I didn't get any experience with some real jail time. Sure do wish we'd known to call you back then. : ) - Congratulate me!? Now that's funny. I've stayed out of trouble since. Mostly. I'd be hard pressed to know where to start nowadays, also. There may be a picture or two from back then but haven't seen them in quite a while. Thanks, again!
