The sun shines, the road is inviting and Chris Chanlett waits for a ride. Chanlett is an old hand at the game: he has hitchhiked more than 10,000 miles and calls it “the cheapest, friendliest way of traveling.” Only sometimes does it get “to be a drag,” and then he swears he’ll never hitch any more. He’s hitching toward North Carolina, on the ramp from Interstate 55 to Interstate 70, east of East St. Louis, June 24, 1971. (AP Photo)
