Way back in time, I hitch hiked from Fresno to Flagstaff. Somewhere west of Barstow, late at night, I got a ride in a mail truck with a moonshine drinking crazy man to his place in Mojave. I pitched my tent in his backyard, slept a little, and got out of there since he had talked about a plan involving me helping him kill his ex-wife...seriously. I'm glad I got out of there right about dawn because I was picked up by a pickup with a hot air balloon basket in the bed. He had been taking sound level readings for, I believe F16s, at Andrews AFB. I got a long ride across the desert almost to Kingman.
