Be careful in Oklahoma as cops are notorious liars and terrorists and frequently scare off hitchhikers by threatening to arrest them when they aren't breaking the law.
=== Federal Districts ===
Note:All Federal "Parks, Forests, and public land" prohibit hitchhiking under the Code of Federal Regulations Title 36 section 4.31: Hitchhiking or soliciting transportation is prohibited except in designated areas and under conditions established by the superintendent.
This is often amended by the superintendents of different Federal Districts making hitchhiking legal in places where this section is amended.
'''Chickasaw National Recreation Area'''
CFR has not been amended here, so hitchhiking is illegal.
== Experiences ==
:''Most of the drivers will gawk at you and/or your sign out of a morbid curiosity, but often will not stop to offer a ride. Recently I had to get from Oklahoma City to Amarillo, Texas on Interstate 40 (Old Route 66), and was stuck there for four days. Generally apathetic and unfriendly locals, although the truck stops extended a warm greeting during the inclement weather, as long as you don't harass the other patrons. Most rides will probably be short distances, from town-to-town, as many passersby are likely to be ranchers or farm workers.''
