   Some times I did as well, but one can't legally walk along a interstate.
Once at an exit one is pretty much stuck there.
   There are stretches of nothingness in WV were I could safely walk along
the interstate, unless "Smokey" showed up.  When one passed on the other
side he would smile and wave and keep on going.  That happened only once.
   The reason for the nothingness is the terrain where isn't much room for
anything due to the mountains.  The interstate here goes between and around
them.  
  Plus the interstate was built around towns, bypassing them.

  The one time I was picked up in semi was the driver having a meal and saw
me get out of one car and walk toward the on ramp and knew I was hitching.

   Hmm.  Does "Doofuss" fall into that area?  That is one of my nicknames
with the chief of police at work.  :)
