Many hikers and climbers from Burlington will take this Route into New York/Southern Adirondack opposed to taking the Ferry. Depending on where they are heading, this route may be cheaper and faster for them. Walk along 7 South and find a bus stop about 1/4 mile out of town. It costs $1.25 and goes pretty far south. Get out right after the bus turns off the 7, or ask the bus driver to notify you about the bus stop right before he/she turns. There is a shoulder just beyond the light to hitch-hike from. You shouldn't have to wait more than 30 minutes. Be picky about the ride you accept, one of the worst places to get stuck along is the 9n/74 in upstate New York where the majority of locals hate hitch-hikers and the tourists won't even acknowledge your existence. It once took an experienced hitch-hiker 3 days to escape the lower Adirondack, after multiple threats from locals and other various social dangers. Once you are north of the 74, things get better, the locals become nicer. This hitch-hiker had hitched over 4800 miles in 2 months, and still considers this area his least favorite place in the country. Some say [[Pepper spray ]] is advised.
