phase one.

Phase one of The Thumbs Up Project is a wrap. It was a good and successful journey, but successful in different ways than we had pictured in our preconceived ideas, which is often times how success works. We did not pick up many hitchhikers. Two and a half to be exact. However, we met tons of fascinating, inspiring, weird, and talented people with many interesting stories. The Thumbs Up Project is a work in progress. Why are hitchhikers so rare today? Why have so many people we talked to hitchhiked in other countries, but not in the United States? When is it safe to pick up hitchhikers? Would Jesus pick up hitchhikers?

We will keep you posted for phase two, when Eric takes a hitchhiking trip of his own…
