About a week ago, i decided that I wanted to leave to go south to FL. I live in Danbury CT, and I have never tried to hitch out of here before. Actually, I have never tried to hitch out of anywhere before. I read the posts here for tips, aswell as the hitchhiking section of "Recipies for Disaster" by CrimethInc., and figured it dosen't sound too hard. I took a commuter train to Stamford, which is a pretty big city, because I though I would have better luck, as well as access to I-95, which is a straight shot to FL. I stood by the onramp to I-95 south for about 3 hours. I held up a sign that said, "In the direction of Baltimore", thinking that it is a pretty reconizeable name, and that if I actually get there, I knew I could hop the rest of the way. Stamford is a big city but it's like one big buisness district. About 80% of the people that passed me were obviously rich folks that had no interest in picking up a dirty hitchhiker who might piss all over their $50000 dollar car. I got alot of confused looks, and laughs, and eventually decided to admit defeat. I don't really have access to a trainyard, and I really don't like paying for things, and was hoping on honeing my hitchhiking skills. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong? Was my sign too generic? Did I just not have the right look? Was I just not out there long enough? Are there some cities that are just un-hitchable? Let me know, I'd love to give it another shot. Thanks.
