TIPS: Always carry a big cardboard sign of your destination. Smile infectiously, and even dance (though not too much to make you look mentally ill). STAY POSITIVE - it always works out some way or the other.
Experience March 2016:
''Hitched into Cali from Southern Oregon on the I-5, and stopped in Redding for the night. The next day was the weirdest day of hitchhiking I ever had. We were headed toward San Fran, which proved difficult . We got a lift from a trucker out of Redding, he was headed to Sacramento, but we'd heard lots of bad stuff about Sac so he offered to drop us somewhere before. We got dropped at the truck stop in Dunnigan, CA which had very little traffic on the on ramp. People often waved but no one ever stopped. We started walking on the highway, the 505 towards San Fran, even though we knew it was illegal. We made it a few miles before highway patrol pulled over. Showing IDs from New York and Florida, he let us off pretty easy and ended up taking us 20 miles down the road to Winters, CA where we got a ride in 5 minutes. Oh, and before dropping us the cop joked "If you want some real good Mexican food, there's a Taco Bell here for ya. Ha ha!". Lots of nice people willing to pick us up after that, after a ride with a restaurant owner and then a construction worker who dropped us at the transit station in San Rafael, we took the bus into San Fran.
