Seems the interwebs are due for another ambitious travel project undertaken by young and underemployed adventurers with little more than a dream and some html skills (and prerequisite ironic hipster ‘staches). Starting today, two 20-something buddies going by the names Scotty and Fiddy are setting off on a quest to hitchhike to all 50 state capitals in 50 days or less. They’re accepting rides and advice via their website, Hitch50, where their current location is shown on a Google Map that’s linked to their GPS-enabled cell phone. They’re also recording their adventures in a blog on the site, and a flickr photostream. Seems they’ve managed to get a ride from their starting point location in Times Square, since at the time of posting their waypoint was centered on I-95, somewhere in the vicinity of Ridgefield, New Jersey. The jury is still out, however, on how they’ll be able to make it to Juneau and Honolulu by November 29, while still adhering to their rule to not pay for any transportation. Best of luck to you, boys. (via Gadling)
