Hitchhiking Was Common In The ’60s And ’70s
In the ‘70s, people relied on hitchhiking to make their way across the country. It was a little dangerous, but young people were enticed by the thought of the freedom that came with it. The truth is that people have always hitchhiked ever since the dawn of time. However, it only became more mainstream in the ‘70s. Back then, these youngsters put their lives in the hands of the strangers behind the wheels. This has become much less common, however. People still hitchhike but not quite as often as before.

At the turn of the century, people watched in awe as explorers took on the Arctic. People competed to be the first person to get to the South Pole! In 1911, a British explorer called Robert Falcon Scott launched the Terra Nova Expedition to do just that. The party went through harsh conditions as they went on this “pole hunt.” After almost a year, they finally arrived on January 16, 1912. The saddest part of the story was that there was already a flag there! Roald Amundsen of Norway beat them by a month.
