Hitchhike America

In an age where cynicism and suspicion has replaced hope and trust, Jon Lott gives himself to the open road and the winds of chance. Hitchhiking west across the United States, he meets more than two dozen drivers along the way, mountain men, hipsters, horse ranches, felons, and people looking for love, hope, drugs, and more. Beginning in Washington, D.C. and ending on the Pacific Coast, Hitchhike America honestly recounts the amazing journey exploring the United States and meeting new people, seeking to uncover the true soul of America.

Part memoir and part travel writing, Hitchhike America also acts as a new guide for hitchhikers, with wisdom and anecdotes to teach you the best hitchhiking and vagabonding practices for adventuring the United States on a tight budget and a loose schedule.
