:''I met some really friendly people hitching through Oklahoma, though most were also very concerned and maybe confused about me. As a single female I was never waiting longer than twenty minutes. I met a lot of welders. Also got some advice from some local punks who saw me trying to hitch and waved me over. A lot of people will wave you over to their cars out of curiosity, but usually won't be offering a ride. So don't go out of your way in hopes of hopping in with them. After I hopped out of a ride with a creeper trucker on the interstate it only took about five minutes for someone else to stop for me. I even picked up a pretty decent oyster soup recipe from one of my rides :) Most rides are short, and younger people are very curious and affectionate, many giving hugs when you hop out.'' - [[User:Jnadz|Jnadz]] 03:35:04, 29 March 2012 (CET)
:''Oklahoma is flat. Don't get stuck in Elk City, there's a correctional facility nearby. Head to the gas station where the Greyhound stops to get out. Otherwise, you can have a blast hitchhiking through Oklahoma. If you're in a hurry, stay on the interstate - on the highway, you'll get rides from one town to the next, short little hops that let you see everything, all these sweet little communities. Stop and get a 35 cent cup of coffee! Don't ride with a trucker through OK if you have time, meet the locals on the state highways -- it was reeeally easy for me to catch a ride on the shoulders out of towns.''
:"My favorite town so far was Snyder, and if you're in Oklahoma City, stop by the Biting Sow and listen to the blues all night long."
