Hitching north outta the bay is cake. Just walk across the golden gate bridge and start hitching. You can either walk through saulsalito and start hitching on the north side of town or try the same deal by the tunnel entrance to the marin headlands. I've always gotten picked up quickly this way. Also there's a bus you can take to santa rosa that you can catch right over the bridge. Once your in santa rosa just start hitching the 101. If you walk to the bridge through the park presido with your thumb out or a sign on your pack there's a decent chance of getting picked up while still in the city.

Yeah, another confirmation that the 1st onramp past the Golden Gate bridge works. Though you'll probably wait a little bit. I've hitched here twice and it's taken me about an hour each time. Not too bad.

You can also take a bus to Santa Rosa for pretty cheap, about $5 I think. I've heard this works even better. Look online for schedules and times.

To get to the GG Bridge, take a bus. It's a good walk otherwise. About 3-5 miles from Golden Gate Park.
