:"Born and raised in North Cali - if you can, take Highway 1. Everyone who takes their time to enjoy life and see cool stuff is on Highway 1, swhere the party's at haha. I met this amazing acidhead couple who took me to Swanson Berry Farms between Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz, where we sampled weird sacred Native American jams and sat around the barn on picnic tables talkin to wild westerners. Don't get stuck in So Cal. I was tryna get out of LA for about a week. When I finally got to Barstow, I hung out under the bridge on the freeway with other vagabonds, and like 3 of us were hitchhiking - I got picked up first by this awesome woman from Arkansas who lived in Baker, drove me there and we hung out with her neighborhood, getting drunk and having a good ol' fashioned fish fry. Bring loads and loads of water to So Cal, it gets hot, especially on your way out of state on I-15."
Experience Nov. 2012
I hitched from southern Oregon to Texas without any problems except one in Westmorland, CA. I was standing on the edge of the shoulder of highway 86 on the south end of this rural small community when approached by two aggrevated and aggressive Imperial County sheriffs. They asked if i knew that it was illegal to hitchhike in California. I told them it was not. Minutes of arguing later they retrieved their citation book and showed me the law shown above that you can not hitch on roadway. I asked them to show me the state definition of a roadway. This upset them. Veins bulging and spit spewing, they pointed to a business wall 40 feet away and said that's where the roadway ends. They then grabbed their pepper spray and asked if I'd be walking back to town. I complied and spent $1 for a bus to El Centro and continued on my way. Pick your battles wisely and be safe out there. ~nomadinexile
