HITCHHIKING

[MirahM]

Have you ever done it? Have you ever picked up a hitchhiker?

Yes and Yes.

Back in high school days . . .  and before tubing the Salt and Verde River became a commercial only venture.

Dirt roads to the river . . . we'd park . . . tube for three hours . . . and then we'd hitch a ride, back to the put-in, to get the vehicle.

It worked both ways . . . if we were in a truck, we'd grab the folks who left their car at the take-out and bring them with us.

Never gave it a second thought.

An unwritten shuttle rule for those tubing.  An adventurer's code.

That sounds cool.
Poor Sally.
I've hitched and picked up hitchers, but not just any old place, you have to be smart.
