Any US residents do a lot of hitchhiking before? How long do you think it'd take to get straight across the country (Nevada to Virginia, straight line) that way? I'd imagine pretty long, because you'd be stopping a lot...

I haven't but I know people who have.

I cannot stress this enough. If you're gonna do it, BE CAREFUL. As a guy you have a lot less to worry about but hitchhiking, for that far, can be very dangerous. I don't condone violence unless it's absolutely necessary but I'd at least consider picking up a pocket knife or something. Not trying to scare you, it's just... **** gets real and people are crazy. ALL THAT SAID. The people I know who have done it say it was a powerful experience, just that it's very important to keep yourself safe. If you've got friends, stick by each other. You strike me as savvy enough to keep your wits about you and be aware of your surroundings/the people you come across. Stuff gets sketch? Bail. Just bail dude.

And hey, if ya can make it somewhere around Cali and wanna hang I've got a place you can crash at.

Maybe I'll just go there... because SF is cool, and it wouldn't be that hardcore of a stretch.
At this point, the longest I've gone has been Reno, NV to Salt Lake City, and that took a few days

You probably know this Mondo, but it's also illegal to hitchhike in some states, so if a policeman sees you he might give you a very unwanted lift. Just check the laws out beforehand and definitely pretend NOT to be hitchhiking if a cop does stop ya.

I've been thinking of heading up to Portland for a couple days, just to see what it's all about for myself. Anyone have any suggestions on places to go/things to do? I'm looking for good places to eat/grab coffee/grab beer. Also if anyone near there wants to hang, lemme know!

Voodoos doughnuts and pick up some for Smee because those ****sticks don't ship

Paul Smeenus · 09-22-2014, 08:38 PM

Oh they'll ship but I don't think you'll like the freshness level of the doughnuts (or the shipping cost) <3
