* To go east: stand on the 490 on ramp on Monroe Ave.
==Border on the I-87("Champlain-Lacolle")==Try to get a ride on the Canadian side. Forget about hitching on the other side of the border, like you would do in civilized countries. Once you're taken by American customs personnel you can't walk back. They will be very confused and your best bet is that someone tells you to walk to the truck stop at exit 43. There are also gas stations at exit 42, which is not far. It's not unheard of for a U.S. Border Patrol agent to drive you to the ramp off Exit 42 which is a dynamite place to hitch south. Saying that, since Champlain-Lacolle is such a bastard, most locals avoid it. You can too by using the more civilized alternative at Overton Corners (about 2 miles east). To get there, follow Exit 42 to US-11 and head east about 2 miles. Past the shopping centers, there's a small green sign that says "Lacolle 7". This is NYS Route 276. It's then another mile north to the border which links to Quebec Route 221. Guards (on both sides of this border) are much more chill than at Champlain-Lacolle.
