Great story! Yes, I hitchhiked sometimes while in Keene. Like you.... mostly to get to school or work. Having always been a bit of a risk taker and independent I justified it by thinking that I simply had to get where I needed to be! Silly I suppose but fortunately for me I only had good experiences, thank GOD! Different times back then for sure!! Never in a million years today would I ever suggest that to anyone!!

That’s kinda scary nowadays. Have you ever read “On the Road”? I went through a beatnik phase in high school. Then I met someone who was a beatnik when I lived in DC but they were very troubled.
