Sep 1 On truck to flagstaff AZ

Sep 1 On truck to flagstaff AZ Allen first ride , dog , Hawaii name , means rocky mountain , Allen with American flag matter scarf cover the head, Very soon we went to mountains , I saw Some animal were walking on the mountain, About 7or 8, in a line. Alen told me that's ilk. I don't don't what is ilk. But we have a town near Mendocino named Ilk . It is charming little town. Alen dropped me in Idaho Spring . In This is perfect spot,I waited long times. People passed by me, watched me, waved to me, smiled at me. They looked like to enjoy seeing a view instead knowing I need a help. I went to Macdonald and gas station to ask for rides. it did not work out. Finally I decided to try freeway. I walked on road while thumbing and looked back from time to time. God is graceful. Almost instantly I saw a car stopped on roadside in faraway. I could not sure it was for me. But I waved it, and speedy myself to it. A hand out of window waved to me. Now I know it was for me. His name is Georgia, he is young and small, I guessed he is just little bit older than teenage. He was from Denver , going to Goergiatown. Goergia goes to Goergiatown. Goergia said he hitch hiked from Florida to California, from Florida to New York . He wanted to do second time. That 's idea same as mine. I want to do it second time in five years. I remembered when Warren and I went to church, after church, went to eat , a man told me , he hitch hiked across whole country two times. For Goergia or someone, what I am doing is totally normal, they understand me without any explaining. I felt so comfortable with such people. This is perfect spot too. after waiting a while, and a old man came to ask me to kiss somewhere, I decided to repeat my new hitchhiking : walk on free way. I was walking up hill on ramp toward the freeway, whole thumbing and looking back from time to time. I saw a car toward me in slow speed. It was police car. I stopped and collected some humble smiles on face. The policeman told me hitchhiking on freeway is illegal, let me stand on ramp or go gas station to ask for ride. " I know, but I have no choice. I have waited long time." " how long time?" " about an hour. I waited in another place more than an hour ." i think I waited about 20minutes here. Last place was indeed more than an hour. I don't want repeat same bitter story, I wanted to repeat same sweet story. So before costing my all patience i i decided to try freeway again. Indeed I got a sweet result. I thought it was lucky that the policeman did not say hitchhiking is illegal, they just let me stand on ramp instead of walking on freeway. So I promised I would wait on ramp. I started to walk back , just several steps. A car stopped. That 's surprised me, because I thought the police car was still there, just checked me, did this car see that? And it stopped for me? There were 4 old men inside, I asked for a ride, " you still have a seat." God have mercy. They let me in. Now 5 persons in car plus a big bag on my lap. They were 4 friends from Denver, going to fishing. The passenger next to me looked like a happy person, he talked with me more than another 3 . He told me how I likes fishing , and how he cooks them, how tasty. He handed a donut, I ate. When I got out car, he handed two bills of $20 to me. I thought why people give me money ? I did not do anything. I even did not play music , did not massage. I just told them" I want to see the world." and then they drive me , feed me, and give me money. The more interesting is that not only they touched my heart , and I thank them. But also they told me how much I touched their heart, they thank me. Any blessing is for two sides. I am happy I have value for others while I was just playing. 4 old men picked me up . The man next me gave me $40. 4 men dropped me in a big town. There is a beautiful lake here, I could see it and town from ramp on mountain. After Waiting quite while, I thought to repeat my sweet story: try freeway. I put bag on bag, ready to go. At that time, a car stopped. Her name is Kethy, a beautiful lady. She droped me in Cooper mountain. Here is a big circle ramp, very rare cars go by . After several sweet stories, I am pretty confident, I stood at the end of the circle,on the side of freeway. It was not bad, about half hour waiting. A big truck stopped. runing with a 30 lbs bag made me out of breath. The truck was waiting for me with the door open. I noticed that, I understood that the driver tried to tell me he is for me. Before I reached there I already received such kindness. Phil was going to Pheonix. The trailer was empty , he will load corn in Grand Juction. I thought I may stay in grand Juction tonight, because possibly I cannot reach next town. There are not many towns in the mountains and desert. I stay in truck. Evening was so beautiful , sunset , cloud different shape color. And then we have a big moon. God is besutiful , God give His beauty to us. Outside windy , storming , rain. Sunshine . Ricky mountain is very beautiful. Road 70. I was lucky to take this road. Phil did not invite me to share bed, he work long time. That impressed me . When I drive , I slept on bed, he slept, I sat on seat or floor. I did not invite me share bed. That reminded me a joke . A 80 years old man fishing , a talking frog, not a beautiful bride . He will not to take risk to kiss, let some . 30 years drive truck. 3 weeks 10,000 miles. This truck 10 years . Christopher was trucker driver 20?years. Now he is truck driver. A million miles. I got out in flagstaff. Temptation is not big enough . Eve in Eden garden , a apple is good looking. Good to eat, so Eve ate . If the apple is old , wrinkles, color fade, Eve might be no intest in it.
