Most of the time it is when I am in the country going to a remote plant for work.
Last week I staying in Calais Maine working about 30 mins away in a paper mill.
On Monday at 7:00 AM there was a guy hitch hiking so I picked him up.
On Tuesday the same thing but a different guy.
Both lived in the area of the paper mill and both had lost their drivers licenses because of driving drunk.
They seems like OK guys who just screwed up.
The most interesting story was when I pick up a guy in Ida Louisiana.
He was dressed in all denim like the old Marlboro man, cowboy hat and all.
He was not homeless, he just liked the hobo lifestyle and had been living it for 30 years.
We had a great talk about the best places to camp.
We both liked California because of the lack of bugs but Maine was also on the list because of the cool summer nights.
Just a very interesting gut.
He was heading to Baton Rough to help a friend with a wood working project.
I was going to Shreveport LA so I dropped him off at the south side of Shreveport at a main entrance to I-49.
This way he would have a good chance of getting pick up.
