Hitching out of Cali.

[sunflower sherree]

I guess we're gonna try hitching out of San Diego. Any advice?

Heard it is hard to get out of there. Good luck though!

Make a sign for where your trying to go or at least a few towns away. It always seemed for me a destination made people more inclined to pick me and my dog up. I've had great luck with just my thumb too but a sign definitely seems to be of benefit more than hinder

Cali can be hard to hitch in. Good luck.

Where are you staying in SD?

You can take the city bus as far East of El Cajon as you can, then there's a grocery store / strip mall right in front of the highway. The onramp there on the I 8 has plenty of space for cars to pull over.

It's a short (60 MI?) hitch to El Centro, where you can catch a city bus up to Niland for a dollar, then you're a 3 mile walk to Slab City if you're interested in that. The bus out of El Centro only leaves like 2-3 times a day so you might have to wait a few hours for it.
