I worked near Crater Lake, OR in the 70s and 80s, and I used to hitch up to Portland on long weekends to see my GF. And I hitched to school (about 13 miles) and back every day for a whole semester (Corvallis OR to Albany). I think once I didn't get a ride and had to miss class. One trucker who picked me up made a point of showing me his machete, and once a couple put me in the back of their pickup with a large canine, but I never really had a problem. Wow. I haven't thought about that in years.
