Ask a hitchhiking hippy....

What's the craziest thing you've ever seen on your travels?

Well it's pretty hard to come up with just one. On the south America trip we got picked up by some Americans who were driving this ramshackle RV down to Panama and back for no apparent reason (It was a mother and son, and the mother who was almost 60 was recently divorced) Anyway, she ended up confusing our white gas for water, trying to cook with it, threw it out of the RV window when it started to burn and hit her son, lighting his hair on fire. Eventually they were a little too stressful to travel with and we ditched them in El Salvador.

Also in Columbia on that same trip we got picked up by a moving truck and ended up getting trapped between dozens of mudslides, we ditched the truck and decided to walk around the mudslides into a nearby town. I got stuck in one and started sinking like quick sand and had to be rescued by my traveling partner. When we got to town we discovered there were just more mudslides. So we holed up in the town for a couple of days, where we were the only Gringos who had ever traveled there. A super hot columbian girl drove by and randomly gave up a bag full of joints for no reason. We called her the weed fairy.

Once in the US (In Nevada) I got picked up by someone with some serious warrants out on him  (For 'habitual criminal shit') and the cops started chasing us, he ditched the cops and I jumped out of the car as soon as he slowed down. Actually the police never even came down the road he went and I just continued my journey.
