Hitchhiker's Requiem

Good story. I had a friend drop me off near Spring Valley in CA outside of San Diego and hitched to FL. Had a great trip; spent nights on the road, back of trucks, and lots of 'half-way' houses (all free). I ate well and met hundreds of folks who were also 'on the road' to somewhere. In August, I headed North along old Hwy 301....more great times over about 15-days. Got to Max's farm at White Lake on 15 Aug and it was a total madhouse; not anything like Monteray. Stayed there for a bunch of days till I got a ride to the Windy City, then hitched to Dallas (the cops sucked); stayed in El Paso then onto the San Diego. As great hitch hiking trip that cover 12 months from the Summer of 1968 to October 1969; it was then time to get back to school.

But...it was a different time back in the 60's. Sometimes bad things happened but I'm afraid that perhaps we just never learned of them. People just vanished. Communications were so different. It is just a different world.
I know it was great for you...however what concerns me is that some foolish teen will read what you write and try it. Once. You know? :) Not being critical...not at all...so please do not take it that way. Again..it is a different world today.
