hitching at night is normally just stupid and north worth the effort. i stood outside the flying J on the west side of amarillo from like 10pm-1am in multiple locations once , and every looked at me like some freak. "normal" ppl generally wont pick u up at night, and "strange" people will, course like someone else said, theyre not so much strange, as they are doped up and want someone to talk to. i normally find a place to camp, or if im really worried ill just fuck trying to get a ride and start walking.
