"I think one's experience really depends on where you're trying to hitch. For example, the country roads in southern Wisconsin (say, between Dodgeville and LaCrosse, along Hwy 61 and such) were sweet, quick rides with good-hearted, diverse folk. I asked traveling friends and Milwaukee punx about hitching west from Milwaukee to Madison, and heard 1) it's doable if you go the Brookfield Park 'n' Ride in the Milwaukee burbs, but that's miles of walking from the nearest transit stop, and 2) it's a pain in the ass, generally not done if you got $ for Megabus or rideshare. If you end up in LaCrosse, cross the river to Minnesota and the hitching becomes easier." - Shannon
"I used to be travelled travel regionally by hitch. I travelled from Wausau to Bayfield with no problem with a little bit of patienceand it only took me a half of the day. The Tomahawk area police from (a different hitching experience at night time) said that I can't hitch on the four-laned highway (I-51) but in his mindset that he didn't really care but seek concern for my safety like a real police officer. On the other hand, I have tried hitching from Sheboygan to Milwaukee. Belgium law enforcement told me to get off the ramp and didn't care about the factual basis of the law. I walked to Port Washington. YAY! I was this close to get off the freeway ramp by a potential driver in Port Washington and I WAS FREEZING! The policeman came in a nick of second to ruin my day and told me to take a cab (with no money). The reality of taking a cab in Ozaukee County is...you have to book 24 hours for one. You have to love the irony. The point is it varies county by county with the law enforcements. They're police officers, not lawyers. Try not to hitch in deep back roads with 3 cars in an hour traffic. :)" Alpha
