''The difference between hitching in the mountainous areas and the valley is like night and day. While the mountainous areas in any region of the state are very easy, hitchhiking in the valley can be a challenge at times. '''California''' has many of the best swimming holes in America, an excellent climate, and a virtually unlimited selection of hiking opportunities. A fan of the outdoors could spend a lifetime exploring here.'' [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ([[User talk:Thewindandrain|talk]]) 23:33, 1 June 2013 (CEST)
''Ollie Monaghan'' Northern California is the greatest hitch-hiking I have done in my life, I took the Route 299 to Redding and then the 44 & 36 to Susanville via the breathtaking Lassen Volcanic Park, I never waiting longer than an hour and met some truly interesting and inspiring people. But a warning, out of about 20 lifts I got west to east across the state, at least half of them were stoned, so stoned on that gorgeous Humboldt county weed refrenced prior. I enjoyed this thoroughly, but it is worth taking into consideration that when hitchiking thro this part of the world, regardless of time of day (I had a guy pick me up at nine in the morning, and within five minutes was driving the steering wheel with his knee so he could roll a spliff) you will get picked up by many intoxicated drivers.
