I'll never forget hearing and singing this song as I hitchhiked the west coast during the summer of 73. I had a great time and met some really wonderful people. Seattle to San Francisco, LA to Eugene, Klamath Falls to Astoria, North Hollywood to Wenatchee, and just a bunch more. I hitched rides with anyone who'd stop, and I'd always give em cash for gas or bought those in the vehicle meals. During the late 60's and early 70's I felt completely free. I took advantage of that feeling and traveled till my heart was content. Folks traveling from one location to another, even today I'll stop for hitchhikers. Yes, many are down on their luck, but then again many I've picked up are happy to share cash for gas, meals, or just good conversation as we travel.
