"''Hitched on I-87 and I-84 in October 2013. Wait length so very acceptable, easier than I expected." '' [[User:Dahab|Dahab]] 13:18, 28 October 2013 (EST) ''Hitched through PA in May 2014 right in the middle following the 209 from east to west until Millersburg and then the 22 all the way to Pittsburgh.The route I took brought me right through great old mining villages with romantic centres (never believed the US could be like this).I found it pretty easy and was offered a meal more then once and even a hotel (but as always: never expect any favours!!)'' [[User:Herog|Herog]] ([[User talk:Herog|talk]]) 12:50, 19 June 2014 (CEST) ''Hitched through briefly in 2016 and 2017. Most of my hitchhiking experience into and out of Erie was walking down rural back roads. The walk along highway 5 that follows Lake Erie is beautiful. Check out the town of Ripley and walk down to the beach. A lot of short rides in the country but hard to hitch once you get into the reservation and near Buffalo. Outside Ferrona Train Yard it was also quite easy to walk and hitch down highway 18, big shoulders, got a ride straight into Erie. I've also hitched on I-80 to Erie right in front of the no hitchhiking signs. This whole surrounding area is average wait time for hitchhiking, whether standing with a thumb or sign, or walking with a sign.

== General ==
Hitchhiking is generally well-received in rural areas of Pennsylvania. I-80 in particular has many good hitchhiking spots and is not heavily patrolled by police, and should be considered the optimal way of hitching across the state.

If you like history, check out [[Valley Forge]], the winter campsite of the American army in the revolutionary war (1777-78) and [[Gettysburg]], site of the turning point battle of the civil war in 1863.

''Hitched through briefly in 2012 mostly along I-81. Never waited too long, I would say Pennsylvania is about average.'' [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ([[User talk:Thewindandrain|talk]]) 00:19, 2 June 2013 (CEST)
