Hitchiking In Oregon- Advice?

You can walk and hitch along the Interstate (it is legal unless there is a city ordinance in a town you're passing through).

Also...might try it on any road there unless you see a sign that says it is illegal.

Do not try that shit in Washington.

I don't have much advise but it should pretty easy to catch rides if you take the I-5. I hitched from roseburg to ashland, then from ashland to pdx and my longest wait was about 2 hours. People are usually pretty cool out here, i got food, money, and weed kicked down from my rides.

I wanted to take the 101. But it's looking more like it'll be the I-5 since we're starting in Ashland. But maybe me and my travel partner could take 101 back.
The 101 is just beautiful I hope you get to hitch the 101.

Dude hitchhiking in Oregon is such a easy way to get around. The i5 is a very fast highway for rides but you have to position yourself in a good pull out kn the highway itself. Walk the interstate ... Good kick downs and people. The Astoria to Florence route of 101 I have had trouble with as well as south of coos bay to gold beach. I can't tell you why but I spent last summer on the 101 and it was hard. But the intercity transit is 2$ to get to almost every city on the route south if you want to take that route and don't mind a few pushes through the smaller towns. My personal favorites are port orford bandon and Florence. Good luck and smile your on Oregon.
