I need to get from Gorham/Berlin to Hanover around the middle of September and was wondering what the best travel options are. I have limited funds so a shuttle (which people tend to charge out the ass for) is probably beyond my means, but if the price is right, that could be an option.
I could take Greyhound, but that would be time consuming and costly as the bus goes back to Boston then to Hanover and it would be hard for me to buy my ticket in advance as travel through the Whites is unpredictable. I also hate hiking with a deadline as it usually causes me to overdo it and not enjoy the scenery or my breaks because of the time crunch. I could get a ticket a few days later than I plan to arrive and maybe get a transfer, but then I would probably be charged for the schedule change.
I was wondering if there are intrastate buses that serve the area, but so far I haven't been able to find any.
I wanted to rent a car but I can't because I don't have a normal credit card and I'm from out-of-state. Bummer really as that would have been great.
The last option is to try to hitchhike from Gorham to St. Johnsbury along the 2, and then to Norwich along the 5 or 91. Is hitching illegal in NH? How do people up there feel about hitchhiking and how likely am I to get picked up. Of course results may vary, but has anyone done significant hitchhiking in the state?
Thanks
