'''Oregon''', a state of the [[United States of America|US]], is great for hitchhiking. No long waiting times, and it's ''legal to walk on the freeway''! Don't hesitate to actually do it, if you can't find a ride on the on-ramp. Lots of people do stop on the freeway. Cops won't harrass you. And even trucks will stop on the on-ramps. Often you will find yourself dropped off at the exact place where you wanted to be.
Try to opt for a ride that will bring you directly- or most of the way- to your destination. While there are many laws that protect hitchhikers in the state of Oregon, the practice of hitchhiking can be somewhat frowned upon in small towns, such as [[Albany (Oregon)]], as well as the capital city of [[Salem]], which both have reputations for being fairly conservative places.
