Rhode Island

Rhode Island is bordered by Massachusetts to the north and Connecticut to the west. It takes roughly one hour (depending on traffic and daring of driver) to drive I-95 from the north to the eastern boarder of the state.

Traveling through Rhode Island is quick and pretty easy as New York is three hours south, and Boston one hour north of Providence (Along 95)

North on I-95

I-95 splits into I-93 (going directly through the city of Boston) and I-95 North (making a large half loop around Boston) Where 95 and 93 intersect again you can choose to stay on 93 north which will bring you to Manchester, NH and north through White Mountains National Forrest. By staying on 95 north you will take a eastern course that will bring you to Portland, Augusta, Bangor, Penobscot, and on up and over to Houlton, Maine where you can cross over into Canada.

Experiences

This was the 49th state for me to hichhike in, followed only by Hawaii, but MAN was it easy! I only caught a couple rides in the state, just wanted to pass through to cross it off my list, but I think my longest wait was like 90 seconds!Thewindandrain (talk) 00:22, 16 November 2013 (CET)
