Personally, I would be more worried about the US/Mexico border than a lonely crossing in northern NY. If you are going to sneak across the CAN/US border you can just walk across fields in many places in NY/VT/NH/ME.

And you are right about that house. It is located somewhere in Vermont and one half of the house is in the US and the other half is located in Canada. I read about it just a month or so ago..........How strange is that????? |
The place in Fort Covington is between NY and QC. In Rock Island/Derby Line QC/VT there is an opera house/libary on the border and a couple of houses that the border goes right through. There is also a farm in VT that is half in VT and half in QC. There is a now closed general store the straddles the border. Interesting stuff. In St. Regis, QC the border seems invisible w/o any border formalities and it is hard to figure out where the border is.
