Past hitchikers

The thing about hitchikers, is they are all so different. And yet sort of the same. I like to pick them, Some of the best hitchikers were:
The big guy that may or may not have been escaping a cult.
Mike, the rodeo rider
Getting picked up in France by two friends from Tahoe
The kid in Big Sur that said he had walked to Mexico and back
The kid from Big Sur who'se dad owned the huge ranch down there
The guy that may or may not have just gotten out of jail
