The '''Hitchhiking Zine''' is an idea [[User:Zac Stewart|Zac]] dreamed up while discussing with a fellow traveler about how the travel guides of today are really just tourist guides. He joked that someone should write a travel guide that reviews the best parks to sleep in, the tastiest dumpsters to eat out of and the best places to hitch from. The joke's over and the Hitchwiki is that collective "someone".
== Goal ==
*Create a usable "travel guide" for hitchhikers with as much information and little bloat as possible.*Use all open source content, and create it with open source software.
== What gets included? ==

The little images to the right of the lists indicate how much progress Zac has made compiling that section.
