After the booths for the ferry in horseshoe bay there's a spot where the road curves and there's a bridge on the left. Across the road is an arm-fence thing that raises and lowers. Somewhere around there is a good spot.

I've had better luck hitching from the top of that hill, where you turn to the right, and it slows to 50km/h. Then it goes down and winds past the ferry booths, and past the bridge, arm and your spot. Cars are simply accelerating too fast there. It's much easier at the top of that hill, because they're only going 30km/h ish, and have a lot more area to stop, and see you. I think it's around the eagle ridge construction site turnoff, can't remember, since it's normally dark out when I hitch, because I've missed the last bus. Losing your driving license sucks.

Nadia at the spot I mentioned my record for hitching is negative eight seconds. As in I got a ride roughly eight seconds before I could put my stuff down and my thumb up. They don't have trouble stopping. But whatever.

Both places work, just that I've had better luck at the other spot. To each their own I guess...

I picked up a hitcher in Squampton when it was raining, it turned out to be a drunk native chick covered in blood.

True story, ask my roomates at the time, they saw the blood on the bench of my pickup.

Lesson learned eh?

Just assume it wasn't human blood and don't think about it too much.

That's what I say to telemarketers when they call offering carpet cleaning. But I sound more agitated and desperate.

Ummm... oxy clean?
