Moving back to Iowa from Arizona, my then husband didn't calculate just how much gas traveling in the mountains in New Mexico would be. It was February, so a little brisk in the middle of the night. And yes, we ran out of gas. So we hitched a ride with a trucker...my two daughters in tow. He took us to a gas station where the girls and I stayed till the men were able to get a can of gas back to our car and then husband get back to pick us up.
I doubt the girls even remember.
Picked up a couple young guys hitchhiking in Arizona who looked like they were about to pass out from the heat. Luckily for them I carried water in the car like you are supposed to in the desert. Dropped them off when I had to turn off of Interstate 10. They looked like cooked lobsters...their plan to hitchhike to where they were going wasn't a great one.
I made a couple short trips from my hometown to the 'big' town to the east of us. Got picked up one time by a man whose daughters later babysat for my kids.
There are times I wonder just how I managed to live this long considering some of the dumb shit I have done.
