Wyoming. It is one of the only states that have tried to outright ban hitchhiking.

^Or to be attacked by a grizzly bear. Ya It is legal, but the vote for the measure was really, really close. They tried to ban all forms of ride solicitation.

i've seen a lot of people say nebraska

i agree, in my experience i had more people pull over acting like they would give a ride and when u'd get excited and run to the car they'd dip out and i even saw someone laugh as they did it

fuck nebraska

I had such a weird experience in Iowa! Getting to Iowa city from MS was super easy! Like... rides in 15 mins. Iowa city to Des Moines really sucked but I lucked out. And then I took the rails out of Des Moines so idk about that

Florida, and West Texas by far, I don't care how cool you are Texas hates you, and FL everyone thinks their shit doesn't stink and the whole state is owned by Yuppie Snow birds from MI, that hate street-cats because they have to put up with Detroit, Save yourself time and heartache and stay out of these spots unless you have a hotshot through. Bama and midwest get a bad-rap, just don't where skinny jeans through those spots and you won't get harassed. Long as you don't get off the main roads in the south east and mid-west. You shouldn't have to many problems
yes, i had serious issues in the panhandle with police, and i did have issues in Texas over the yrs but Orange Texas police are no fcking joke, they hate...
 
I've heard a lot of bad shit about hitching in Indiana, although never have myself. Nothin' but rednecks and thugs here as well. I actually just saw a traveler about 2 weeks ago getting harassed by the pigs, I think he was by himself too, and that asshole still called for back-up. It was definitely a bad spot though.. right by a state police post and shit. I didn't stick around to see what happened, but I wish I could have got there before the cops did, I would've at least taken him to a better exit.
My experience: i local hitchhiked indiana with very little gear and some issues with cops, the people were nice, i never waited long on more than 30 trips, (i like visiting parks). im older and clean cut so mayb that helped. The cops have tried to intimidate me, i simply stand in grass and not on shoulder and they have not arrested me yet..happy travels

Yeah im from south Florida. Do your self a favor and hop on a mega bus..dont hitch there its hell.. you can get tickets from south florida to Atlanta and mobile al for 10 to 15 dollars if u buy a little in advance.. my last time getting out of her i paided 25 dollars for a mega bus ticket to Alabama from Fort Lauderdale.. a small price to pay to get out of that shithole to somewhere hitchable

The worst for me was UTAH. Im allmost certain its because of the mormon moron religion.
http://lebus.com/pickup-locations/....ive been visiting SLC since 85. ive only hitched there a few times. The link i left will help to get to wendover Nev. 22.00. Free drink, buffet, 7dollar freeplay. ive never had an issue in wendover and the rides have always came fast, going west or east. We used to catch out in SLC as the trains slows to go around corner, they put fence up but ive still caught out on corner. It seems the newer generation is catching out of Ogden for some reason. i think because the train stops in Ogden. If your going east into wyoming they have had a no tolerance hitchhike policy that was changed in court in i think 2013 but the cops dont like change, stand your ground, mayb move to grass...i try very hard not to hh Utah.
