I have an upcoming trip (postponed from last year) that would normally involve a short (30 mile) hitchhike between the traihead and a bus stop. I did mention "normally", because, well, I don't know if things are really all that back to normal yet.

Maybe it's too early in the season to be asking these questions, and perhaps the situation will evolve as the year moves along, but I would appreciate hearing your perspective.

Assuming you are the type of person who is okay with hitching between locations, what are your thoughts concerning hitching during our current health situation (ie, would you still expect to get a ride)?

Likewise, if you are the type of person who normally picks up hiker trash, what are your thoughts about continuing this practice?
