Changes

When at the truck stops you can try to ask around or make a sign going "west". The spot is not perfect as most of trafic going towards the city, but you might get lucky and someone going the other way will notice you (it took me 4 hours waiting to get a ride to Nevada)

"I had a different experience than the author of this page, possibly due to being a young woman. First, SLC seemed like a waste of time to hitch from: Love's was under heavy police patrol, I saw a "lot lizard" as early as 3 PM, and no truckers wanted to pick up a hitcher from an urban area. Got on the bus towards Tooele and was offered a ride straight to Sacramento within 10 minutes of raising a West sign at the Lakepoint Flying J. Also, Lakepoint is a pretty place with a cheap market with lotsa samples."
