The Willingness To Hitchhike In The 60s And 70s
While many people would shrink from the thought of hitchhiking in today’s world (and for good reason), people were far more naïve during the 60s and 70s, when people were far more trusting of their fellow man. Many young women, like the one in the picture below trying to make her way to Woodstock, would have met terrible fates when serial killers would happily let them into their vehicles. One of our greatest developments since this time as a people is that we will be far less likely to put our lives in the hands of strangers!

The beginning of the 20th century saw an increased explorer obsession with the Arctic as various crews prepared themselves to race for the South Pole – an uncharted part of the world! The Terra Nova Expedition was launched in 1911 by Robert Falcon Scott of England with the South Pole as his destination. This would become a fierce voyage that would only end on January 16, 1912, when the crew jubilantly disembarked onto the frosty wastes. But their joy was snuffed out when they spotted a flag that had been planted by Norwegian Roald Amundsen a month before.
