Hitchhiking with my Thumb and Pack and Poles.

Thank You for rides in PA … damn lucky … right back to my car every time

  1. CKT: after too many humid Slip&Falls and 1 Tick-Bite and near-RattleSnake-step-on;  2 guys who were shooting with their ‘long guns’ on a Sunday morning
  2. STS: Knee Twist before Box Turtle and ThunderStorm Climb; ‘Old’ HomeOwners (with Cable-Car)
  3. Quehanna; Violently Ill … Philly Guy with Family Cabin
  4. Quehanna: Freezing + Rain; Christian & I got 2 rides (after walking 11 miles, 8 on road) on Steeler Sunday; Apple-Picking Couple (he was with FS) then Mountain Biking Clearfield Lawyer
  5. AFT in the 80F’s and 1 great Slip&Fall; retired German guy who was ‘skulling’ and wanted to know “Why does this country need to profit when someone gets sick?”
  6. AFT; a few Slips&Falls and bored (plus better things to do after getting up at 2am and dark-driving); College English Professor who also taught Environmental Science courses (he read quite  a few similar authors as well)

NewHampState — 3 Rides off the Presidential  Traverse; Twisted Knee and Head-First massive fall – then Old Couple, Doctor+Dog and AZ-Thru-Hiker

Surprisingly: no rides in CO-state, WY-state, OR-state and Montana.  All generally Eastern rides.

Classic First Thumb; Hypothermic led to a 3-Ride in WA-state (Back of Cop Car, Mushroom Couple and then Crazy Chef)

BONUS: PA-State Old Logger’s Path Couple – with Rescue Baby Squirrel
