Been re-reading The Canada Chronicles by Matthew Jackson recently, which is an account of some guy’s hitchhiking adventures over a four year period in the 90s in my country. Fun read, made me wonder if anyone here as any stories they want to share (will also accept shout outs for someone else’s cool hitchhiking story).
What year did these two trips take place?
Between 2005 and 2006 (can’t remember if the first trip was the year prior to the second one, or the same year at different points of the summer).
As I was reading through this, I noticed I didn’t mention cellphones. I did have a cellphone at the time of the second trip for sure. Whether I turned it off on the ferry, or didn’t have reception on Saltspring, or left it at home, I honestly don’t remember. Probably the first or third option to avoid interactions with my mom while I was doing something dumb (I used this strategy a couple of times).
