[TR] British Invasion and Vermont road closures

[Andrew Uprichard]

Ah, I remember the feeling well:  drove up from Massachusetts, beautiful
fall day, crossed a covered bridge over a sparkling Vermont river, the car
sputtered and came to a standstill, miles from civilization............

I've been going to Vermont since I was a little kid but only as an adult did

I actually feel all tension leave my body as we'd cross the state line. My 
wife always said how the sheer beauty of the state....... even when just 
driving on the Interstate....... immediately relaxed her.

There is nothing in Vermont that is more scenic than the best of Minnesota.

The difference is that here in Minnesota we have to go looking for it.  In 
Vermont, it's everywhere.  The freeway from Brattleboro to Burlington is 
gorgeous.  Whatever route you find open should be just fine.

>From the bridges of Bennington to the view across the lake to the Split Rock

Light to the marina in Brattleboro, I enjoyed all I saw in your state in my 
two brief (and too-brief) visits there.  It was like being nostlgic for a 
place I'd never been.  I never got to Stowe, but I'm sure it won't 
dissapoint.

So to the rest of you:  If you have never been to Vermont, go.  And what 
better time than for the Invasion?
