In 1990 I hitch hiked the North Coast of CA and to Lassen Volcanic from SF. It was awesome. Met some really nice people. I was obviously a young guy on a backpacking vacation, so that helped. And of course, Mendocino and Humboldt COs are still places where people hitch hike today. I spent time camping with people who picked me up, drank their beer etc.
In Europe I hitch hiked a lot too, in the 80s. It was pretty easy in the countryside. And even long distance. I went all over Germany, England, Scotland. Always had interesting encounters. Never an issue.
Sometimes I go on long drives on hunts, hiking or biking vacations and when without the family leave open the passenger's seat. I never get any customers - that don't look like meth bums. It is a shame, but hitch hiking looks to have died out except on the North Coast.
