longest hitching ride with meals included: Hearst, Ontario-Regina, SK, Canada. 2100 kms. The kind of ride that makes you feel like hitchhiking is a great option; fun and easy.
Longest trainride ever, Kamloops BC-Toronto, ON 5 days, 1 train.

I think mine is from Wodonga to Coolangatta (Australia), and apparently is around 1400 kms ( http://maps.google.com.au/maps?q=wodonga&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-USfficial&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wl ). But we got lost in two different cities on the way, so actually took like 30 hours mostly straight driving. On speed.

Though, it's not uncommon for hitchers (friends of mine for example) to get one lift between Perth and Adelaide. Trucker on speed driving it in like 3 days, of course...

To be fair though, I was so close to getting one ride from Winnipeg to Montreal, but the fuckin' trucker slept, and we camped. And fucked off before we got up....

slept on the back of his flatbed, and he made us sing songs all night to keep him awake...
the only song we knew that he knew was Country Roads by john denver...

Isn't that the best riding in the back of pickup trucks???

Yew feel all the wind to your face and totally feel as is yew'll fly off the side if it were to turn over (or something similar to)

Minneapolis to Santa Fe NM 1300 miles, the last 500 with 7 people in a 5 seater car, still makes me smile.

[Vullmer]

Denver CO to St. Augustine FL

[Dirty Rig]

Greensboro NC to Baltimore Maryland
this kid had a job interview for some youth group in richmond virginia and another one the next day in baltimore, so he drove us to richmond dropped us off, we spent the night and then pick us up the next day and drove us all the way into baltimore! baltimore sucks!

ha i was born in baltimore. and lived in greensboro for 3 years.
and baltimore's pretty cool, as long as you stay away from the harbor. tons of punk-houses and bad-ass music happening every single night. i ate a fuckton of acid last time i was in charm city. good times.

I caught a ride from just outside Roanoke VA to upstate Pennsylvania with a woman who was on her way to see her dying mother. She drank beer the entire way, talking about how much money she was going to inherit once her mother passed. She made a few passes at me that I refused, then bought me a few donuts and a pack of cigarettes. I went to hug her goodbye - it was a long ride after all - and she actually grabbed my ass! She asked me again if I was sure that I didn't want to 'have some fun before I go.' I said no thanks and slept under the overpass bridge.

Last thumbing trip I went on we got a ride from Ashland, Oregon to just outside of Sacramento, California. The woman who picked us up was traveling in a camper thing with her dog and baby. She made us the best damn grilled cheese sandwich I've ever had in my life and she gave us 20 bucks at the end of the ride. That was fuckin sweet.

But I ended up getting bit by a spider during the night because we were sleeping in a bunch of dead leaves and I swelled up like a troll in the morning. Then we got stuck at this spot for a good six hours. That was not sweet.
