== Personal experiences = Federal Districts ===Note:All Federal "Parks, Forests, and public land" prohibit hitchhiking under the Code of Federal Regulations Title 36 section 4.31: Hitchhiking or soliciting transportation is prohibited except in designated areas and under conditions established by the superintendent. This is often amended by the superintendents of different Federal Districts making hitchhiking legal in places where this section is amended. '''Great Smoky Mountains National Park'''CFR has not been amended here, so hitchhiking is illegal '''Blue Ridge Parkway'''CFR has not been amended here, so hitchhiking is illegal== Experiences ==
One hitchhiker, [[user:Eripson|Eripson]], found the state to be very good for hitching when he visited the city of [[Asheville]] in December 2010. Even with the snow he managed to find a long distance ride into [[Tennessee]]. However, one busker that he met along the way recounted his experience of waiting eight hours and eventually giving up when he tried to hitch out of Charlotte. This, however, had been the busker's first time hitchhiking and it's likely that he knew not some of the appropriate techniques for soliciting rides.
