[[File:Amylin hitching northern ca.jpg|thumb|300px|right|[[amylin]] hitching in Northern California]]
'''California''' is a state in the [[United States of America]]. Hitchhiking here is easier than in a lot of other states of the US. You usually won't be harassed by cops. The Central Valley is a concentrated version of the dixie-area "Bible-Belt", so getting around from Bakersfield to, say, Sacramento (and anywhere in between) is a real pain. The major urban centers are notoriously difficult to hitch out of too. It's usually better to take public transportation as reasonably far as possible, and then hitch from there. The Sierra Nevada (especially highway [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_395 395]) and the Coast are a breeze for hitchhiking.
HOWEVER! Southern California, as in L.A. and San Diego, is an incredibly bourgie place which sucks for hitchhiking and is full of smug ass holes with surfboards and perfect bodies and shit who cheerily wave for hours w/o stopping. Avoid southern California if you can- I mean the weather is of course fabulous and it is a beautiful place all the same, I just got a lot of negative feelings about the people- if you have a bag and a sign and you're walking around downtown people look at you like you're a pile of vomit.
