Any tips for dealing with the turnpike? Been walking alot lately needing a ride and in a truckstop area for 2 days now with no luck. Anyone had decent luck lately near toledo?

Yeah I'm kinda out in the middle of no where out near the turnpike I'll probably try to give it another day or 2 to see what happens
Working on that. May just try to get a bicycle lol hitching just ain't what it use to be
Check out the adventure cycling website for a map of all the major bike trails in the US. There's plenty that go across and through the whole country. The bikepacking section of this site is a great source of information too.
If you can get to Toledo, it looks like there's a bike coop there: Toledo Bikes! Services - https://www.toledobikes.org/sales--service.html
I don't know anything about that one, but bike coops can be a good place to get a cheap used bike and meet other traveling types.
Im like 15 or 20 miles from toledo. I'm sure I'll probably have to head that way before I leave this area
Well update guys took off walking from where I was at made it 25 miles today and scored some free taco bell. Can't complain about it
From ohio myself. You can find rides if you're out in the hills, but the big cities are about impossible to catch a ride out of. Columbus especially -- with how spread out it is, it feels like there's no community identity, no honor to be maintained by giving people a ride. Everyone's so alienated up there. Sad to see, but difficult to break from. I'd try to spange a greyhound ticket probably. Had a rough time even getting food from a food bank up there.
