:''I met some really friendly people hitching through Oklahoma, though most were also very concerned and maybe confused about me. As a single female I was never waiting longer than twenty minutes. I met a lot of welders. Also got some advice from some local punks who saw me trying to hitch and waved me over. A lot of people will wave you over to their cars out of curiosity, but usually won't be offering a ride. So don't go out of your way in hopes of hopping in with them. After I hopped out of a ride with a creeper trucker on the interstate it only took about five minutes for someone else to stop for me. I even picked up a pretty decent oyster soup recipe from one of my rides :) Most rides are short, and younger people are very curious and affectionate, many giving hugs when you hop out.'' - [[User:Jnadz|Jnadz]] 03:35:04, 29 March 2012 (CET)
Oklahoma is flat. Don't get stuck in Elk City, there's a correctional facility nearby. Head to the gas station where the Greyhound stops to get out. Otherwise, I had a blast hitchhiking through Oklahoma. If you're in a hurry, stay on the interstate - on the highway, you'll get rides from one town to the next, short little hops that let you see everything, all these sweet little communities. Stop and get a 35 cent cup of coffee! Don't ride with a trucker through OK if you have time, meet the locals on the state highways -- it was reeeally easy for me to catch a ride on the shoulders out of towns. My favorite town so far was Snyder, and if you're in Oklahoma City, stop by the Biting Sow and listen to the blues all night long.
