Hey Grant and All

Anyone remember the plywood cut-out of a Man ( or woman ) back in the 60's that was stood up at the side of the hiway in southern Calif. with a note written on it, and an address somewhere on the east coast? The note said something to the affect that " I need a lift, going as far as you are going, toward ??? ( address given ) and just stand me up at the side of the road when you stop and I'll catch another ride. Don't remember all the details but I believe it made it to it's destination after several months. Had quite a story written on the back about it's travels.

Rather a neat idea, but I wouldn't suggest leaving the Kayak anywhere, or it would make it to the nearest garage or lake, never to be seen again.

Nice Idea Grant. Hope those Yak-Hounds don't hog it on the way. Lots a luck.
