In 1966 a teenage vagrant flees the draft and roams the highways, drifting without a safety net through subterranean America for 22,000 reckless miles. While seeking highest perfect wisdom he finds brief success as a vagabond poet, before abandoning the limitations of language.
Randy Rhody’s memoir The Hippie Hitchhiker from Nebraska sweeps away clichés of flower children, desperate addicts, and militant radicals, to bring you a roadside view of the ’60s not seen by historians, journalists, or celebrities. (By the way, he wasn’t from Nebraska, and didn’t call himself “hippie.”)

Beginning with a map of his travels, the following is a chronological photo supplement to the book. Learn more about The Hippie Hitchhiker from Nebraska at http://www.randyrhody.com.
