:''South Dakota has treated me below average for hitchhiking. Police in this state don't seem to mind hitchhikers at all. Obviously when going through South Dakota, one should feel obligated to detour through some of the scenic roads in the Black Hills or badlands. The rate of catching rides in these areas is slightly worse than average for a scenic mountainous area, but about equivalent to the national average overall.''[[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ([[User talk:Thewindandrain|talk]]) 01:16, 2 October 2012 (CEST)
We had no trouble at all hitching in the Western part of South Dakota (can't speak for the Eastern part, sorry) on the interstate, during the Sturgis rally. And in Rapid City. People were friendly and helpful, including park officials in Spearfish Canyon (it's in the Black Hills National Forest and it's gorgeous. Highly reccomended if you can afford to pay the $16/night for the campsites. Dispersed camping is free and legal but impossible to find a location because you're surrounded by cliffs.) and the bikers all implied they would pick us up if only we would fit on their bikes. LOVE that you can walk on the interstates. -Dizzy
