Can anyone give me any advice/input on hitchhiking?

Question

Anyone ever done it? Anyone ever helped a hitchhiker get somewhere? Whats it like from both sides? Im a 16 year old wanting to hitchhike from McFarland Wisconsin to Grinnell Iowa. 223 miles. How long would that take do you think? I want it to be me and a friend if I can find one willing. ANY HELP IS NEEDED! Thank you all so much.

-STORY-

I live in McFarland and she lives in Grinnell. Weve been in love (I dont care what you think about it being love or not) for 6 months and havent been able to be with each other for more than 10 hours. Its killing us both. So much that Im willing to hitchhike to see her. Ive tried alot of things that were better choices than this but theyre all falling apart. Being two high-schoolers with feelings and 250 some miles between you sucks. And I wanna try and make it a bit better.

Answer 1

DON'T HITCHHIKE!  There's a lot of crazy, scary people out there.  You never know what they can do to you.  They may look nice and trustworthy, but you can't judge a book by it's cover.  Take a greyhound bus or something.  It doesn't cost that much.  Spending a couple of bucks is better than risking your life with some crazy psycho that decides to pick you up if you hitchhike.
