An older passion and mode of travel of bygone days.
An older passion and mode of travel of bygone days. Some time back, seems like centuries ago, hitch hiking was an acceptable form of transportation. It was quite pleasing meet a vast array of individuals the road willing help out strangers reach their destination. The majority of rides I received were pleasant, informative, full of humor and indroduced another facet of life not available in any book or magazine. I met an instrument maker who specized in stringed instruments using methods from the past masters. The most impressive ride was a total surprise when a VW van pulled over, the drivers wife got into the back of the van with their and I rode shotgun in the front passenger side. It turned out to be none only but my childhood favorite, Captain Kangaroo, Bob Keeshan. He was coming back from a family vacation going back to New York. We<b> traveled </font></b>together for a few hours and discussed the current events of the day, the President of the United States-Richard Nixon, and a number of other political and ecconomic topics. It was the ride of a lifetime for me. My childhood hero driving me down the road and being a regular guy and deeply concerned man about the state of this country. I shall never be able to top this one, almost maybe except for the time I got a free fuck. |
