1976 my father used to hitchhike across the country every summer once school let out and would return before school started the following year. I believe he did this for about 3-4 years after high school as well
Left one summer from my parents home to camp/backpack in Colorado. Ur dad sounds like a badass who was open to adventure. Can only imagine the stories he can tell, any idea what his favorite city to hitchhike in/around?
We would hitchhike everywhere in the 70's. Or, if we had a car pick up a couple of hitch hikers...often at exits as you left a city or town. We'd even stop at bus stops and offer a ride...even to kids. I remember in thr 60's being 10 years old and being offered a ride. My mother's only response was 'Did you say thank you'?
It was never 'right' going pass some dude or gal with the thumb out if there was room in the car.
I never had a bad experience thumbing a thousand times or picking up hundreds of hitchhikers. Lots of 'odd' people but usually good 'odd'. Many adventures.

Poppa was a rolling stone, where ever he laid his hat was his home.
