I don't pretend to imitate a great traveller. I haven't been to every state in the union, and others have done far harder, longer, and more often road trips then I. But I have logged a lot of miles, and been down many a highway, and I can say that Vermont has hands down the cleanest and most pleasant rest stops I've ever been too. Not the malls of Ohio Turnpike, or the dingy backwaters of Connecticut, nor the non existence of New York. Simple, clean, bright, and welcoming, they are truely welcome beacons on the migratory path of the Northeastern Leafer. I only wish there were more of them.
