I recently visited with one of our new Nebraska members and she told me an interesting story about hitchhiking in Ireland in 1980. I know that Renee Riley also did some hitchhiking in the 1970s, as did I in 1979. I wonder how many other Servas people hitched as well. I think we need to chronicle these stories while we still can.

 The Blue Highways were for Servas travelers, especially back in the day when it was possible to hitchhike almost anywhere in the world. If you hitchhiked in the 60s-80s while traveling, whether or not you were a Servas member, we want to hear from you. Even if you did not personally hitch, perhaps you know someone who did that you can tell us about. Please send any ideas, stories, pictures, etc. to JoanneFerguson.Cavanaugh@usservas.org.
