:''I would not hesitate to claim Colorado as the easiest state in America to hitchhike in. Anywhere west of the front range is incredibly easy. If you are like me you will wish You might start wishing people would stop picking you up so fast so you could 'll have more time to absorb the scenery. I have been through hitchhiked almost all of the every US and State highways highway in Colorado and a few many of the County Roads and wait times have averaged about 15 minutes depending on traffic.'' - [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] 0([[User talk:17Thewindandrain|talk]]) 03:2650, 6 8 March 2012 2013 (CET)
