With the depression, rationing during WWII and broke GI's running around right afterward, hitch hiking had become a pretty common mode of transportation and stayed that way into the early 70's.

I was in my late teens in 1970 and we would hitch hike everywhere. It was a mode of transportation, like taking a bus. I guess we were taking a chance getting into a strangers car, but nothing happened to any of us.

In 1971 me and a mate hitchhiked from our home in N England down to Lands End and back to John ‘o Groats, from one end of the UK to the other, it only took 6 days and we met so many really interesting people along the way. So glad I grew up then and not now. ✌️

For those who don't know, John'o Groats is at the northern tip of Scotland and Land's End is at the extreme southwest of England, in Cornwall I believe, a long way up and down.

I hitchhiked from about 8 or 9 yrs (1970 or '71) on, back and forth to Imperial Beach CA, and I picked up hitchhikers up until about the 90's; when I stopped doing so. My first concert was Cal Jam 2 in 1978. I was 15yrs9mos and I had to hitchhike from Ontario (Speedway) CA to San Berdoo at about 1am...whenever Aerosmith finished. I hitchhiked from the tunnel going underneath the track though...thumb out and asking "is anyone going to San Berdoo?" Said that twice and I heard a reply; "you can come with us." Turned out they lived just around the corner from our home. I told my mom, who dropped me off the night before the concert, that I had a ride home.🤥

Just a quick story about hitchhiking. Around 1957 American cars were all big beasts. My parents had one of the first Volkswagen Beetles in our area. One day my father and I were going somewhere and far ahead was a young guy with his thumb out (if you are a youngster that was the sign of wanting a ride ). The cars ahead of us went past him without stopping. When he saw us approaching in the little VW he dropped to his knees with his thumb still out. We didn't stop because we were almost at our destination, but that gave us a big grin. 😊

We used to hitch hike all over. I would sometimes pick up hitchhikers who would help with the driving. I met a sweet little thing and we hitchhiked to Atlanta Pop together and I never saw her again. Those days are long gone. I would never hitchhike or pick one up today. Sad.
