Eugene (Oregon)

Eugene is almost an anarchist stronghold in Oregon. By all reckoning, a dandy loc. Amazing library. Go to the Whiteaker district. Maybe this is where you can learn to start hopping trains?

Eugene also has a good amount of free meals if you are looking for food. Check out the Dining Room. The library is indeed amazing. Lots of great parks, too. There's a 24 hour Shari's out on West 11th for coffee camping. Near there, too, is a pedestrian underpass that I have successfully slept under. Also the woods near there can be a good spot for urban camping.

Hitchhiking out

South towards California

You can take the 30th Avenue and head east. You can probably hitch a ride at a bus stop, especially during rush hour. At the on-ramp there's quite a lot of traffic, but you might be better off waiting on the freeway itself.

North towards Portland

You can take the number 12 bus past Gateway Mall. At the Delta Highway intersection, there is an onramp for north, but not for south. There is not much traffic on week days, but getting to Salem, Albany, or Portland seems alright.
