During the summer of 1972, amidst the freewheeling spirit of the era, follow along with me on an unforgettable hitchhiking journey to Las Vegas from a small city in Wisconsin. I leave behind the security of my hometown embracing the open road with nothing but a backpack and a sense of adventure. Along the route I encountered a tapestry of characters: a shadowy character with a sketchy story, a possible runaway teenager, and a guy from Missouri who was kind and trusting. As we edged closer to the neon lights of Vegas, we confronted unexpected challenges and exhilarating moments that test our resolve and bond. This eBook is a brief nostalgic exploration of the 1970s hitchhiking culture, capturing the essence of youth, the lure of the unknown, and the complete trust in strangers.
