''"Virginia gets a bad rap for hitchhiking. But I've gotten a hitch across the road from a Prison up in the mountains. It can be done!"'' - Anonymous Hitchhiker
Hitching in Virginia is not nearly as bad as people seem to think. I-81 runs from the northern bit of the state all the way down almost to Asheville, North Carolina. Rides tend to be short but there are many small towns along the way with good ramps (including two college towns with younger more liberal populations) and you won't wait terribly long between rides. Scenery is beautiful. Up north, I-66 is surprisingly easy in both direction (into DC and out to the mountains.) The last exit on 66 before the junction with 81 is Front Royal; the ramps are beautiful with plenty of traffic and I've even had a couple cops drive by and just nod.
