Updating Umeå's spots to hitch to north.
'''Umeå''' is a town in northern [[Sweden]]. The [[E4]] passes through it.
== Hitchhiking out ==
=== North towards [[Luleå]] ===
A good place to stand going north on E4 is just after the roundabout running north of and alongside ''Björnvägen''. Wide road and lit up during night.
However, GPS apps will tell drivers to use the other road around the city. You definitely can't trust the satellite pictures, as they will show you trees and fields where roads are now going trough. Use google street view as it is way more often updated. The actual best spot to get out of the city and head nort is the bus stop just before the OKQ8 gaz station. This is the last gaz station before exiting the city by this road. If someone offers you a short drive out of the city, ask if he can get you to Bygdeå's gaz station. This is a perfect hitchhiking spot. The trafic here is very slow and the entrance to the gaz service area makes it perfect to hitch on the side of the highway. You should be able to reach Skellefteå quickly, from there. A bus can get you there from Umeå, apparently. Be advised, tho, that it is remote and you won't be able to to get a lift when it's dark. There's plently of woods all around and even a camping right next to the spot, so you have places to sleep. === North West towards [[Norway (Bodø)]] ===
E12 to Mo I Rana is well traveled.
