== Hitchhiking out ==
Decided to hitch on 299 around this point : {{Coords|40.910294, 9102|-124.065642. 0656}} After maybe 1h I got my first ride (some stopped before but not going far enough). After that rides came easy as rain started to pour. Made it to [[Shingletown]] in 3 rides that day and got offered to sleep at my last driver's home.

== Hitching In ==
=== Coming from [[Bay Area|San Francisco]] ===
It's easy to hitchhike to '''Arcata''', [[California]]! Starting from {{US-R|101 }} in Golden Gate, San Francisco there are some great spots to pick up rides all along {{US-R|101}}. Try to get out of the Bay Area quick if you can as the California Highway Patrol will be on you if you attempt to hitch on the three lane highways. You shouldn't have many problems on two lanes roads. The farther North you go the easier it gets! Most people can recommend good spots. In [[Ukiah (California)|Ukiah]], {{US-R|101 }} turns back into a freeway. [[Hopland (California)|Hopland]] is a great spot to hitch, especially on the straight run near the Solar Living Center! Laytonville is a great spot!
