We are about ten miles from being into our penultimate state, which is a true shame, as Vermont is an outdoors playground full of fly-fishing, mountains, forests, subaru station wagons, etc.

The roads are not as nice as New York's (but then again not even the gold-paved streets of heaven have shoulders as wide as the Empire State), but the drivers and locals are all very courteous people. They will sort of give you a sheepish acknowledgment that they do, in fact, live in one of the best places on Earth, then they will recommend you some excellent food.

It's really hot and humid, and it appears a storm is moving in. We just crossed the Green Mountains, which featured about 15 miles of uninterrupted climbing at grades running from 4% to 9%, followed by some downhills, some rollers. another steep set of climbs, and then a final gentle descent through one of the river valleys.
