After an awesome show at a kayaking lodge (the room was on a peninusla, with big windows on three sides looking out on lake Superior), we had an alarming task in front of us: hitchhike from Wawa to Thunder Bay. Wawa is a famously bad hitchhiking spot; it's known as the worst place to hitchhike in North America. Neil Young even wrote a song about it -- it's called "Helpless". I had to shave my beard in preparation so that I would look less like an axe murderer.
(Before, during, and after the shaving.)
Everything turned out great in the end. We waited about two hours, then got a ride from a friendly Quebecois photographer in a pop-top sleeper van with green polka-dots. Turns out he's got a blog too!
