Hitchhiking Adventures: Two 16-Year-Olds Thumbing The Us Coast-To-Coast In 1970 - 9781663250445

A parent's nightmare. Two sixteen-year-old boys leave the safety of their suburban homes to hitchhike from New Jersey to California and back--no plans, no places to stay, no maps, and no money ($46). Driven by a yen for adventure, they almost insanely rely on unknown drivers to move them along the 7,000-mile route. The thrills of the journey are all revealed--the near starvation, gun-toting cowboys, burning deserts, great parties, hostile police, friendly college frats, the homecoming, and more, including humor. Stick out your thumb and hop aboard.
