== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North Towards [[Salamanca]], [[León_(México)|León]] === Take a combi Naranja number 2 or 3 (the small VolksWagen vans running through the city, look for the ones with an orange -naranja in Spanish- stripe, 7 pesos as of Nov. 2014), be sure to ask the driver that he's driving to "la carretera a [[Moroleón]]", which means the road to [[Moroleón]], and ask him to drop you at the furthest gas station ("la última gasolinera" in Spanish). There are three or four gas stations along this road. The traffic is way too fast on this road, so you're best bet is to ask around at the gas stations or to thumb at the exit of these gas stations. The last one (pretty far up north though, not sure if any combi goes so far) is one for truckers. So two strategies here:* Ask for a ride to [[Moroleón]], in the best case your ride is going further up north, in the worst case at [[Moroleón]] it's fairly easy to get a ride more up North* Ask for a ride to the following gas station (Spanish: "siguiente gasolinera") until you reach the one with all the trucks, and ask truckers for a ride, if you're aiming long distances === West towards [[Uruapan]], [[Patzcuaro]], Tzintzuntzan ===
[[User:Guaka|guaka]] walked down on the La Huerta street, which is also Route 14. As there is a "side road" with lots of local traffic, and no easy place to stop on the main part of the road it's not a great road to hitch, plus there are street vendors. And [[User:Guaka|guaka]] talked to a guy who had been trying to get a ride for about 2 hours. Finally at some on ramp further down the road the third car stopped.
