I have picked them up still, last one on a rural highway, he was going a long long ways. He was not thumbing it, I figured he broke down or something.

If I see the same person bass fishing on the bank or a dock more than once. I ALWAYS offer to take them out on my boat.

It happens a bit, because I go to lakes for 2-3 weeks at a time usually. Or have been in E Tx for 3 months at a time.

There have been road construction, construction, cell phone tower builder's plural and college students so far and a few unemployed guys.
