in calgary.my hitchiking adventure.
im in calgary.and what a trip it was to get here.6 nights.a crazy farmer and the two best people i've ever met.took me 18 rides to get here and that was luck so now i think ill go through everything.i left london last wednesday at about 4.took a cab to highway 4 and got my first ride by some fat guy in a truck.now at this point i was with a guy named justin and ill talk about him later.so this fat guy gave us each a and drove us to highway 7 but we stayed on 4 and i saw jesse from hitchiking back to london. so we started to walk and got our next ride from a weird salesman looking guy.i could only see his glasses in the rearview mirror the whole time it was sort of like a movie.so he dropped us off then we got picked up by a on her way to work so she drove us awhile then dropped us off then we get picked up by a man who was kinda sketchy.dropped off.picked up by another guy but neways i forget all of my first rides now lol.except the crazy farmer.so this old guy in a truck picks us up and drives us to hanover but not before stopping at his son's getting us coffee and offer us each s and then hed give us 20 dollars each...well at this point i got out of the truck lol but he drove us a good ways..from clinton to hanover.then i spent the night in hanover under a pavillion thing and went to hitchiking again.after walking awhile we were stopped by the police.they ripped my bag apart after handcuffing me and ed me off.then justin was taken into the car for a warrent he had in windsor BUT the older male officer pulled me aside and asked me if i knew anything about justin.i said no.then he proceded to tell me that justin has charges that if he were in jail and the other inmates knew about it he'd get(in the officer's word)"thumped"so i hoped they would arrest him so i could carry on without a rapist or whatever he is.but nooo they couldnt get a return on the warrent and released him.so we carried on me being very silent.that day we reached tobimorry and took the ferrie across to manitoulin island and walked almost 3/4 of the island before some1 picked us up and dropped us off at little current.from this point on i remember all my rides.slept in a abandonded truck, got picked up the next morning by a lady going to esponola.arrived at the trans canada highway:D!!!then took a walk for awhile before getting picked up by jamie and cheryl.they brought us to they're house in elliot lake and let us stay the night there bought a 24 ate some kfc worked on a 92 ford escort and changed some doors on the car changed seats and swapped a hood before adding a turbo in the car...twas fun:Dso they drove us to a dealership the next morning and dropped us off on the transcan highway. then after an hour we got picked up by an odd trucker who had the worst polish accent eer and i couldnt understand us.he dropped us off at sault st. marie because he was doing repairs for their truck.then we got a ride from walking all the way through the city to the husky station on the north then walked..for the rest of the day...like 7 or 8 hours before lee picked us up and we went to her cottage and met her brother his fiance, and gaeton the frenchman who was quite nice and is lee's husband.so they cooked some fish they had caught that day and it was honestly the best thing i had probably ever eaten!!!so we spent the night in the guest cottage.dreank a few s ate breakfast and hit the road again.got picked up by no1 for the day and then got my break...justin went to fill up the water bottles at a house and the greatest people i have ever met picked me up.steph and jen.jen's a teacher and steph is...steph lol i had the greatest time ever with them and they drove me all the way to calgary but my time here is up so the next entry will b strictly about them:D.until next time mon ami's
