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.
==Erie Canal==
New York State sports several long-distance canals, which were major thoroughfares for barge traffic in the early 20th century. Today the New York State Canal System is still maintained, though mainly now for pleasure cruising rather than commerce. I've heard mention of folks "hitchhiking" on canal boats--does anyone have any stories about this?
