Mood: Let's have a BBQ!

[*] posted on 4-19-2010 at 04:13 PM


I still pick up some looking to "thumb a ride" from time to time. A lot of folks going back and forth from town and the beach. The funny thing is that I have noticed lately is that out on the highway most of the people I see thumbing down this way are foreigners - mostly Europeans with backpacks.

We, (hubby and I), have picked up more hitchhikers than I can count over the years we have spent in Baja. Mostly in the Mulege area. Never once had a problem and have made some lifelong friends.

Mind you, we both have really good internal radar and would never go near someone who gave us a bad vibe.

I think the scariest moment was when the older Mexican man started to light his cigarette while sitting in the bed of our truck...next to a full 45gal drum of gas! Eek...put a stop to that quickly.

I had to hitchhike to and from college (aprox. 20 miles ea. way) for a few months with a friend. We had the off ramp names painted on the bottom of our skateboards. Thank goodness there were two of us. We had a few wild rides from some wild people out there.

Sylvia! Always good to put a name with a face,such as it is. We felt compelled to offer a ride and would be lying if we said we were disappointed when she turned us down. :saint:
