After reading this poem, it seems as though Wakoski is reminiscing and remembering a better and younger time. When you think of hitchhikers you can imagine the youth trying to run to a better place, or people trying to travel the world together. Here, in this poem the author seems to be remembering a time spent with someone and how she misses that person, she looks at "Hitchhiking" in a different light now that she is not experiencing it with the person she misses.
Maybe she went through a tough time with someone overcoming mountains and different obstacles in life with a certain person that it is a journey she will never forget in life.
