''Hitchhiking was about average here from my limited experience. [[Binghampton]] can be scary at night... I was surprised by how humid and hot it was in the summer.'' [[User:Thewindandrain|Thewindandrain]] ([[User talk:Thewindandrain|talk]]) 00:03, 2 June 2013 (CEST)
I found hitchhiking along Route 20 as an alternative to 90 to work quite well. Most of my my rides were 20 miles or less but I almost never waited more than an hour and usually only about 30 minutes at the most. The people who picked me up were extremely friendly with many of them driving me a bit out of there way to bring me to better spots and I was also offered money several times. Even had someone teach me to drive a manual car and then buy me a hotel room for the night.
In Caledonia I got a ride from a very friendly police officer to the next town but I got the feeling he had just wanted me out of town since he pretty much dropped me on the very border of the town. Then when I got to Batavia I went over to the toll road for lack of a better spot and soon got approached by police. But after running my ID the officer said he didn't mind me standing where I was at the entrance where cars turn to drive up to the toll plaza.
