Been re-reading The Canada Chronicles by Matthew Jackson recently, which is an account of some guy’s hitchhiking adventures over a four year period in the 90s in my country. Fun read, made me wonder if anyone here as any stories they want to share (will also accept shout outs for someone else’s cool hitchhiking story).


Never hitchhiked myself. Picked up a few over the years.
Last one was a guy from Germany who was walking from a wildlife refuge campground in to town to go to a museum. It was 21 miles to get there so the museum would have likely been closed by the time he got there. It was also forecast to be in the upper 90’s and quite a way before any services would have been available. He may have made it but I doubt he would been feeling too good with the amount of water he had.
