Two cowboy funny guy gave me last bit of the road to do, but the night before I had to stop hitching as of pass 7 pm it get much harder to get a ride
30.5072, -98.2893
Nice guy from Honduras gave me a ride made an hour detour to drop me in Bastrop TX as he was on his way home bought me dinner and gave me 200 $mackarooss when he dropped me he wouldn't take no for an answer
30.7353, -98.6669
First two. Car stopped at the same time went to see first. Car and was not going far by that time the second car ad left , 10 min after another guy picked me up told me that wish the whole world was like Texas, freedom baby
34.4230, -100.2296
Not super busy road but most people doing distance will go towards Austin area, classic Texan guy pick me up super pro gun but super hospitable
35.1924, -101.7221
Not great at all with a sign to hit the town on road 287 no one stopped in 6and half hours with intervals to escape the eat , Buc ees employees did not harrastede but don't think its worth going talk to people , in Parkin lot ,unless you want see the police show up , ended up starting to walk in the rain and a trucker stop for me because his daughter told him to pick me up ,
Maybe different experience if you try to continue on I 40 but can't tell for sure
35.0304, -106.9468
Can't tell for sure about that spot as the same peoples who pick me for going to the grand canyon gave me a ride all the way to Texas spread on two days , but this spot could go either way as it is reserve casino security could be bitchy, but there is a lot of truck and car trafic
36.0545, -112.1401
Don't think hitching in grand canyon is the best spot as it's illegal there, but was lucky the couple who brought me there are giving me a ride to far away now
35.8553, -111.4255
Pretty sucky spot lots of tourists,but had to walk for 6hours 30km nobody pick me up the first day , tricky as you need to get someone willing to take you in the park without having to pay, I'm the end the next day young couple pick me to the park and now going to Texas with them, so lucky I guess freedom baby
36.8754, -111.5013
Not super great shoulder for car to stop but lots of people passing by in summer
36.7064, -110.2563
Couple turn back to come pick me up , gave me some good cookies
36.9826, -110.1820
Drink water itcan be crazy hot
37.0991, -109.9943

37.1512, -109.8670
Ride to forest Gump point pickup truck told me to get in the box always the best
37.2655, -109.6259
Middle of nowhere spot but can work in your favor
37.8637, -109.3420
Good spot for different directions
38.3019, -109.3950
Not the best car are going fast and not enough place to pull over for a truck, middle of nowhere
38.5305, -109.5057
Valid spot , trafic light just before
38.9421, -109.8166
Waiting under the bridge with a sign, nest stop of that road is Moab , drink water
40.0418, -111.5437
Super remote spot , car going fast , don't count on truck to stop but remote worked in my favor Mormons picked me up for a good Treck
40.1096, -111.6317
Lots of trafic , huge shoulder, and a traffic light just before
42.5756, -114.2961
Can't tell for sure because same driver of the day before offere to ride with him again in the morning
45.6423, -118.6842
Found out reservations is not a good spot to hitch, as apparently police are more strict there , got kick off the highway ramp ten kick off the gaz station, had to go across the street in the grass, and was kinda Waiting for the cop to show up again as they said It was illegal to hitch on public road in Oregon which I really doubt the reality of those info , knowing the law section on hitchwiki Oregon, anyway did not argue and did not get fined, truck saved out of there
45.7649, -119.2048
Not the best spot , try to get drop off on truck stop lined up with the highway always more simple
45.5444, -122.3905
Ad a sign for Utah maybe too long of a shot , took the sign down then got picked up ten min after by trucker
46.9527, -122.9394
Great spot , good chunk of waiting still, picked by trucker that was going to California, make a sings for interstate ,better guarantee of having the right ride stoping for you, make sure to stand at the corner even if not the best but there is a street sings saying no hitchhiker or pedestrian past this point , police came to point it out to me all taught guy was real nice about it
47.8055, -124.2498
Remote spot not many cars , also was going against my rule of no night hitching, was a bit desperate to get a lil more in , got pick by 3 immigrants on a trip in Washington, thanks to them they. Drop me to a big gas station outside of Seattle for a better stop the next day
48.1210, -123.4464
Spot it self not that bad but that road not great took me 8 hours to complete 80km many ride for small bit at the time real sucky day average waiting time on that road 2-3hours but think mainly because there was a murder connected to a hitchhiker happening like 3 weeks before a got there , so might I've been the reason for being this hard that day.
49.3239, -124.4391
Great spot to head south, lady picked me up as she was running couple of errands, dropped me off right at the ferry terminal for salt spring island.
49.5120, -124.7046
Just ask people in car or dirt bike while on the ferry
Guy on a dirt bike offer me a ride to the town ask me if it was okay to go fast when I said yeah he went 120km/h on small road was like Holly sh***t!!
50.0291, -125.2753
Not the best spot as road was beginning to curve and after car would speed up too much to be worth getting on the straight line
50.3383, -126.9168
Remote spot ,but car are passing try to walk just a bit to get a straight line socar can have the time to see you and actually react in stoping because cars are going fast on that road
50.5714, -127.0675
Vancouver Island is really good for hitchhiking in general
50.6925, -127.4672
Good spot everyone goes south
54.5186, -128.6489
Good spot all people taking that road go to Prince Rupert, keep in mind it's sketchy bit of road as it is super remote especially for women as bad thing happen there , hitch in pairs never hitch at night , one of the only place in Canada you will see no hitchhiking sings
54.5187, -128.6505
Good spot people taking that are sure to get to Prince Rupert , keep in mind that spot could be particularly sketchy for a single women as this road is extremely remote and got bad history concerning women safety hitch in pairs , never hitch at night , this road is one of the only spot in Canada where you will see no hitchhiking street signs
55.2469, -127.5934
You will get rides for sur le all over highway 16 because there is no public transportation up there, keep in mind that road is infamous for disappearances, mostly native women, hitch in pairs , don't hitch at night
60.0264, -129.0600
Good spot for car to stop but not much trafic , the road is much nicer that way and beautiful people just don't know about it, their lost
67.2518, -150.1846
Long wait had to turn around after being stuck in the Arctic circle for 3 days hard to get a trucker to pick all the way to the end of the road as they are not allowed and got camera in their cab company policy kinda stuff, and was bit early on the season for tourist , probably better in July but fire are much bigger risk at that time
18.1614, -16.0092
Some how a lots of people was going to the beach mostly American working at the embassy there , but your almost to get a big ride with a bit of patient, moroccan man took me and Lyzard all the way to Agadir
33.2213, -7.5748
Great spot , nearly everyone taking that stop is going to Marrakesh or further
34.2319, -6.5701
Every highway entrance in Morocco is a great spot, just make sure you are on a straight line
35.7200, -5.9029
Great spot ,better walk away from the roundabout as a lot of local are waving for communal taxi over there
