LONG ago, my brother (long ago killed in a car wreck) and I were returning home late at night after a long hard week of Elk hunting on the North Fork of the Clearwater River. It had started raining and was just miserable. I had an FJ40, the back was pretty full of gear and we had meat strapped to the top. We come across a hitch hiker on highway 12 and agreed to stop, it was so fucking miserable outside.
I stop. Brother gets out, leans the passenger seat forward and the guy starts to get in the back. Brother says, "No, I'm getting back there. Hand me your pack." Pack goes in, brother climbs in. Guy gets in. Brother cocks his lever action 30-30. The guy looks scared. I say, "Don't want no trouble? Don't start no trouble." Brother chimes in, "We will drop you off in downtown Lewiston."
That guy had trouble talking so I asked him if he'd rather wait for another ride.
"No. I think you guys will be ok."
My brother says..hahaha..."Yeah, WE are definitely going to be ok."
I take off and it's maybe 30 miles on in to town. Hitchhiker dude really didn't want to chat. We stop in Lewiston, in front of the LPD, guy gets out, brother gets back in front and just started laughing his ass off. He said that we probably just avoided some problems because a guy that was not up to starting some shit should have acted better.

Bundy was active in the Seattle area then. There had also been several recent local disappearances of folks.

I don't know, I think we were just worn out and rough looking enough after hunting hard for a week, guns and knives at the ready, the guy was just shook.

But didn't Bundy have that VW Beetle he used to get around in (and bring all his "strangulation ropes/gear" etc. with him)? Why would he need to hitch?
