Me - 1974 - Making a sign.
40 years ago this month, my brother and I got laid off from our jobs at the same time.
We both had been reading “The Hitchhiker's Field Manual “ by Paul Dimaggio
Since we both had the time and a last paycheck, we went hitchhiking.
Looking like you had someplace you needed to be and the signs were
the best tools for attracting good people and getting great rides!
We found ourselves in many interesting situations, both good and bad.
The first time seeing the Grand Canyon which happened
at night during a lightning storm.
Then there was the incident in Barstow with the drunk Biker.....???
Or the crazy guy from New York who drove through the Redwoods at night
who would only slow down to 60 to take a curve....
Then there was the cute girl who was driving a Cadillac Convertible who took
us down Malibu Canyon to the PCH. Her dress and blonde hair blowing in the wind!
I could go into all the details of the great adventure we had.
But you’ll have to wait for the book!
