First time... want to hitch from the Midwest to West coast

[flubbr]

Hey I'm in indianapolis and I'm thinking about hitching out west here soon.
shoot me a pm

 

[NMNM]

yeah i hopped in, kicked it for a week or so, and hopped out again. probably around mid july? actually, that town just kind of blows ass haha. you've got some good squats though.

oh see, i wasnt in town then.

Anyone know any places I could get computer access for free or a $ or something?

 

[The Wanderer]

Do you think a hand held stun baton would work?

 

[meathook]

no. you're going to taze the person driving the car?

 

[Bl3wbyyou]

Lol mace inside of a car.That is another awesome idea.I always carry some if im hitching but i really don't intend to use it though.Doesn't seem like it would benefit either party's to me.Pocket knife it is then.

John Houx said it pretty well:
"I told them all, 'I'll go explorin
Every desert and every kingdom I can find.'
They said, 'What for? The whole world's borin,
And you've seen it all before on the TV.'
So by myself, alone and ramblin,
In a boxcar as the rails rolled along.
Soon my cell phone started ringin -
Oh my god, it's just as if I'd never gone!"

I'd rather get someone more experienced, I feel like it's like the blind leading the blind with him.

just stay home

For internet access there is generally a public library in most cities. Don't bring a tazer, stun baton or anything of the like. Just bring your wits, and don't look like a victim. Read all the post in the hitchhiking forums, there's a ton of info there. Which you should have been searching and reading before posting but it is what it is. Stay safe.

I know, I told my mom that hitchhiking lets you meet interesting ppl but she still didn't believe me hehe

Most people are motivated almost solely based on fear

Your mother is likely no different

Other peoples' disapproval is the signal that I'm on the right track

Other peoples' approval is the signal that I've strayed from the path

I came to earth to live

Not to be trapped inside a box of fear

This is all temporary

Pick one: adventure or approval from friends and family. You can't have both.

Human nature is to make the unknown seem safe and secure. But if you make an adventure safe and secure, its no longer an adventure.
