I have a wondrous hitchhiking memory - but of a winter day, blizzard-y, when my car was stranded on a snowy hill...a classmate was similarly stranded. Act of God we found one another. Anyway, we found our way together...I'd have never dared do this, of course, even in the mid70s, as a young woman on my own...but with Larry - it was a blast. I recall part of our journey was in the back of a pickup truck as it snowed!
