So I am trying to plan my departure date(likely March 20th if I-40 is the road I end up using) and I know now that I might need to hitch in to Greensboro April 12. There is a chance I will be getting a ride but I need to plan on being near a good road.
Is I-40 the best mainline or is there another way farther north? Like a non interstate but still major road so that I can walk/hitch along the road rather than having to hang out at highway exits.
Or even better, does NC have any sort of decent public transportation to the point that I would be able to catch a bus from the trail somewhere over to Greensboro without paying too much cash?
