''I have been everywhere in the United States and Illinois is one of the worst states for hitchhiking. It is even harder than [[Indiana]] and [[Ohio]]. People here just don't trust strangers at all. As soon as you cross the state line into Missouri or Iowa, hitching gets much easier. I have been kicked out of more truck stops/rest areas in Illinois than I can remember. Folks, this is a state that really, really doesn't like hitchhikers.'' [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ([[User talk:Thewindandrain|talk]]) 17:33, 15 July 2013 (CEST)
Hitching in Illinois can be difficult depending on where you are, and what direction you are heading. I was hitching near a truck stop about 45 minutes south of Chicago heading north. I spend a good long time waiting for a ride. I snuck into the bathroom and caught some sleep on the john. A good couple of hours into the next day A very nice polish truck driver from Michigan (also from where I hail.) Picked me up and took me a good 600 miles! He dropped me within a few miles of where I was going.
