[pct-l] hitching out of towns

Spoken like a man that has spent many hours standing at the side of the road
with a mournful look on his face and no ride......   ;o)

Interesting post Yogi.

Another method of hicthing is to stand on the side of the road with your
thumb out. Simple and effective.

The real benefit to this technique is it allows you to be 'genuinely'
interested in folks that you meet, as opposed to walking around with the
schmooze on pandering for a freebie.

Hopefully, not all hikers employ Yogi's technique. Even us dumb 'ol
backcountry folks will see right through it. This is *not* the type of
impression you want to leave on the communities visit.
