I'm gonna delete this soon, a'la DMT, but; there was one time driving across Nevada well dosed and Little Feat was playing for a while. Fifty miles straight ahead, frying balls,smiling my freaking face off. The sun came up and one of us put on some house music. That was the final nail in the coffin. We pulled over and slept beneath these beautiful limestone formations for a few hours, then carried on our merry way to Moab.

So I am on a paid trip to drive to Utah from Mammoth and pick up a boat that a client had purchased.Circa 2004
Most desolate road trip of my life.
Driving through Ely the radio comes on and they start with the divorce report. hahahah
The town isnt even that big but I guess they gotta tell ya who is available .
Also after that they had a tradio of sorts and everyone calling in either had tires or a couch for sale and you could come over and see them on the porch.
Edit: great story Brandon , dont delete but edit the word acid to something more subtle like "window payne" hahahah

SO many stories I could tell. Here's the funniest one.
Hitching out of Kayenta, AZ in the winter of '76. Headed south to find Don Juan.
The curly haired city dude picks me up and we smoke a fat one. Rolling through the beautiful desert on the way to Flagstaff. We are grooving the morning mellow and cranking America on the 8-track, Horse With No Name and all that.
Just when things couldn't get any finer the hood latch fails spectacularly and we are two stoned freaks barreling down the desert highway totally blind. It was like a scene right out of a stoner movie. I think we both screamed.
Got the car under control and over to the side. We got the hood bent half-assed into place and bound it with some wire. The thing was soo fuked up we had about 8 inches of mangled hood to peer over as we continued down the road. I wasn't funny to us at the time but the fact is... that was damn funny.

"I swear every car in the west is drunk."
Well, this thread is certainly a slice of Americana.
Here's to all of the dharma bums still out there.

Shoot, I'm only 33, and I've got a ton of crazy hitching stories.
I think it all began when I had my parents drop me off at the bus station in Concord, NH when I was 18.
I had a thousand dollars in my pocket, a backpack, and a skateboard.
Stories ensue...

Funny you should ask. I bought my '66 for $3k way back when. When I went to look at it the license plate was "911 NUT". Being an EMT at the time I knew it was ment to be.
