Last took a hitch in, oh, probably 2003. 25 miles out of town, torrential desert rain and my car got flooded. Took three rides back into town, the first 2 cars ended up stuck at flooded creeks and couldn't cross, so I said "thank you", and hoofed my way across the knee deep water. Immediately got picked up on the other side by another car...

Last time I gave a hitch was probably about that same time. Driving up the mountain, and an illegal came crawling out of the brush, beat and cut up to hell. They were told to go up the mountain because "there are people up there who will help you". Well, we wouldn't and couldn't, but this dude was in bad shape. I took him back down the mountain and into the nearest town. Told him as best I could that he had 3 choices...wander back into the desert and take his chances, try to find another ride at the store, or ask for help there and get picked up by the Border Patrol.
Dunno what happened.
