Intro to thumbing
Again...... SmileWonderful Hitching
Trucking
Takashi ( Biking across the Alaska-Canada-USA- South America)
(A journey lasting 3 years)
I was hoping to make my way through Alaska and canada to Missoula Montana fairly quickly; but as a new-bee to thumbing, i had no idea how long it was going to take. You never know how long you can get stuck in one place waiting for a ride until you actually do it. You stand looking at each car pass, one by one; thinking so many thoughts over and over. Hoping to get a ride from the car heading toward you.

Some slow down, take a quick look at you and speed off, others just move over to the other lane, and few stop to pick you up. Its an experience which takes PATIENCE, knowing there will be that one person that you are destined to meet.
It took twenty rides to hitch from Fairbanks AK to Missoula MT, 2600 miles, and twelve days. An amazing intro to another month on the road.
