'''St-Armand''' is a country town in southern [[Quebec]], [[Canada]] that borders the state of [[Vermont]], in the [[United States of America|United States]]. It is just along the [[Quebec highways|Route 133]] in [[Canada]] (which is I-89 in the US). Aside from being the border town, it is very small and hardly of note, with a "Souvenir Rock Shop" and one or two ''Dépanneurs'', which can usually provide hitchhikers (or drivers) with a free small map of the highways in the area and local attractions. If you're trying to get to [[Montreal]] from here, the map won't be of much use.
The scenery, however, is beautiful farmland, and the Quebecois locals are very friendly! Speaking French will get you a long way here, but speaking in English is not too bad, either, since there is usually someone nearby who can translate, because of the proximity to the US border.
'''* To Vermont'''
If you are crossing the border into the US, with a US passport, the Customs officials also generally don't seem to mind that you are hitchhiking. They did not tell [[User:Amylin|amylin]] that hitchhiking was illegal, and they barely even checked her passport, before waving the car she was in along, wishing a "good time in Vermont", although she made it all the way to [[New York City|New York]], via [[Boston]], that same day. If you can only hitch a ride to the border, and not across it, getting a ride at the border is a little tricky. The border agents say that hitchhiking is illegal, but it's not their job to enforce that law. Thus, they just don't want to be able to see you. This means walking along the highway and hoping to get a ride that way. Luckily, Vermont is one of the best states for hitchhiking. Another possibility might be to just hang out in the parking lot, directly asking people for rides in such a way that the border agents can't see you.
