Hi hitchhiked all over, including CA, in the mid to late 90's and found 
people by and large we're wonderful, though getting though big cities was 
usually  not. Also, it was pretty lonely because nobody else is doing it 
really. 

If you do it, definitely PLAY YOUR INSTRUMENT(s) and listen to your 
instincts.
