If you don't have a trail to follow. I would bet big money you cancel your trip after a couple days, and bus/hitch into NYC.


Almost any long distant hiker I've met who decided to take a highway route absolutely hated it. Its not scenic, its noisy, dirty, and dangerous.

I don't mean some remote stretch of dirt road somewhere, but following along the sides of highways with steady traffic at 55+ mph.



Take the train and get drunk on the way )
