Now a days literally 8 out of 10 guys with long hair will drive right by. No acknowledgment, no eye to eye, soul to soul contact that is needed to get a ride. These are your comrades and they pretend you don t exist. That s possible. That s understandable.
Nobody hitchhikes anymore.
You will eventually get a ride and 2. You will meet some of the nicest, most interesting people in the world, for they are the only ones who do stop. It is still definitely faster, much cheaper, and a lot more fun then taking the bus. Though it can be frustrating, the excitement when someone does stop, makes it worth while. And you always know before they actually stop that you ve got a ride.
