So in regaurds to catching a ride...

[Linda/Ziggy]

Okay,
have you thought of getting ANOTHER Roaddawg ?? One that wants to travel the same way that you do??

Also I've said this many many many times...............
I have been hitching since I was 14 (1981!).
I am a little over 5 feet tall, I am female.
I usually hitch & travel on my own.

I HAVE NEVER EVER NEVER EVER been attacked, threatened etc while hitch hiking !!
But I have had horrific things happen to me just walking down the street minding my own business.

I'm not saying that bad things don;t happen to people when they hitch.
But use your intuition sister, If the ride doens't feel right - don't get in.
Be clear BEFORE you get in to ask where they are going - first.

Don't let other people scare you out of doing something that you want to do.

Ain't that the truth! I can't even count how many times I've had situations while just walking down the street(not hitchhiking). Bottles and stuff thrown at me, cars try and intentionally run me over, almost jumped once by a jeep full of drunk skinheads. All of which happened when I was NOT hitchhiking.
