Synopsis

Here is an excerpt from The First Time I Rode a Freight Train & other hitchhiking stories:

"Marty the Stonemason"

"A week ago I hitchhiked out of Jackson [Wyoming] and this guy picked me up.  I listened to him talk for a few minutes and then I said that he had picked me up before---three years ago outside of Dillon, Montana.  He looked at me and said something like, 'Hey, you're that hitchhiker I picked up.'   He then repeated what I had said three years ago---something about being led by the Holy Spirit.  I remember when I met him up in Montana it seemed that he thought it was very peculiar that I was 'obeying the Lord' and 'being led by the Holy Ghost.'

"His name was Marty and he worked as a stonemason in the Jackson area.  He told me that when I first met him he was drinking a lot and doing drugs and that this his life was a mess.  Then he said that three months ago he became born again---he even showed me his Bible.  I was pretty happy for him and I shook his hand.  He dropped me off between the Wilson Bridge and Wilson and I proceeded to walk up the road toward Teton Pass."
