Rails or hitching from Olympia

[YikesKvcey]

Headed southbound out of Olympia today, any tips/advice for a new traveler? Or tips of the turf? (From Seattle and don't know Olympia well)

Tip: all the best camp spots are in neighboring Lacey.

Also, if you end up not hitching/hopping out and need a foot route, I've got you.

I love Olympia, but i ended up hopping a train in Chehalis.
There is a camp spot in the bushes with rain cover while you wait

I am right outside of Portland near a sideout...hoping one goes to Hermiston. Dunno where you are but if it's freezing rain unless you can find a rideable unit with cover you might wanna just hitch.

Ty you all for the info!!
Aaa- I might have know about that trail! Can't ever go wrong with a solid meditation walk
Georgezzz- is the hideout pretty easy to find and is it a good hop in Chelan?
Jungle- do you think the freezing rain is gonna hold up for awhile in Portland area? Cause I have a spot to crash there but I'd more wanna pass through not get stuck due to weather lol

Said 10 hours or so. But it sucks walking in this shit cuz the on-ramps have no shoulder with the snow. Got lucky and hitched a public transit bus. My boots kinda suck so that's why I'm dreading this, but it is all good. I think later in the week is supposes to be 50s so the snow and ice should melt. Safe travels dude.
