Only picked up one hitcher. Near my house is a several thousand acre park that has trails and a few roads but is mostly wooded. On a road bordering the park about 3:00pm I come up on a very distressed young 20's female urgently flagging me down. As I suspected, she was from out of town and had gone for a quick hike in the park and had gotten lost. Had been walking for six hours without water trying to get back to her car. She described where she parked and it was on the exact opposite side of the park. She said she had let several cars pass before she flagged me down because I "looked safe". Gave her a bottle of water and dropped her at her vehicle.

I only hitched a couple of times and that was on Greek islands in the northern Aegean Sea. That was standard operational procedure in those places.
