I hitched once. We got our truck stuck a couple of miles in the woods. Walked out to a two lane deadend road in the middle of nowhere, probably 5-6 miles from a real highway and 30-40 miles from a city of any size. Luckily some hippy dude picked us up and drove us all the way back to town. Then we had to get a second truck, drive all the way back, and pull the first one out. I hve had to bum rides (yes, plural) from strangers before when our boat broke down, pulled into one landing and had the get a ride back to the landing we were parked at, but that is a little different.
