Hitching west I-90 out of Toledo, Ohio, any stories/tips/help? This spot seems tougher than most...

Hey folks, I'm Sky, a 34 year old male who's been traveling by thumb, choo-choo's, and my Chevrolegs and Lamborfeeties on and off since I was 18. Probably the better half of all those years, honestly. Anyhow, Ohio is one of the few states I've avoided until recently. I'm westbound out of South Toledo, near some turnpike/tollbooth shiznit. It's been a couple days (with frequent breaks due to this muggy assed heat during the day. I was housed up for a couple months here in town and now I'm headed to Seattle to visit my peeps. I've heard Ohio sucks to get out of and I'm seeing that's turning out to be true. Met some nice folks around town and all, but no real help. The nights have been getting kinda cold and I'm without a sleeping bag (just a hammock atm). I sure could use one though, and if anyone has any ideas about a better on ramp or whatever I'm open to any suggestions. Even just some help getting a out of Toledo to a different spot a few miles down the road could be of great help. I just know areas near tollbooths and shit can be kinda sketchy, is all. I'm a positive fellow with good morals I stand on, just figured I'd try reddit out for once. Peace, Love, and Hug Life, Thanks!
