As we were in the middle of the city we didn't have too far to walk till we got to the city limits where we could try and hitch hike north. We passed a police man and asked him if he knew of any good places to hitch a ride from, he said no but there was a gas station less than 2km away, we hurried on and left towards it. We must have been walking about twenty minutes from the centre till we got picked up, all we were doing was occasionally putting out thumbs our when cars were approaching until we got to the gas station. We got picked up short of the gas station which was excellent knew for us, not only did we not have to wait, we didn't even have to walk very far, and the sun was stuck behind thick clouds so it hadn't had a chance to get too hot yet even though it was passed midday now.
