Surely there must have been riders visiting Vermont for the first time.
What surprised you in our little State?

Hmmmm, where to start?
- Friendly, courteous people
- AWSOME uncrowded roads
- Incredible mountains
- Smuggler's Notch
- Cider Donuts .... yeah, can't forget them
We had planned to bum around New England after the rally and initially went straight to New Hampshire. We loved Vermont so much that we went back for another couple days. Can't wait to go back.
We are home in Delaware not and the reality of returning to work tomorrow is setting in.

Not my first time in the state (my Dad went to St. Mike's), but it had been about 25 years since my last visit as a teenager.
The thing that really stood out for me is that the whole state seemed to know about the rally, and everyone I met was curious. I left the rally early Saturday morning, and stopped for breakfast in Shoreham, VT. It's a tiny town - really nothing more than a few buildings and homes - along Rt 22A, about 45 miutes south of Burlington. The locals inside the restaurant were all asking me how I liked the rally and were curious about my bike. They even warned me of some approaching weather as I was leaving.

I was personally surprised at the amount of water. Along with the big lakes, I was happy to see many roads that ran alongside rivers and tributaries. There was even one next to a very old inn and restaurant that was breathtaking. I could have ridden past that all day.
The maple sugar cotton candy was delish.
Everything had a very cozy feel that I miss already. The locals that I met were all very friendly and inviting.

No! Wish I'd known (and had the time)... I've been up that road several times in the past to access and hike the great Long Trail.Friedle said:

I loved Vermont because:
1. It was the first time I have ridden my motorcycle to an MOA rally-I have a 3 yr old and we dropped her off in Detroit-I HAD to trailer my bike from Memphis Tn to Detroit then I got to ride!!
2. I was not scared for my life while driving in Vermont-other vehicles were not on my bumper the whole time and they knew what a blinker was!!
3. Everyone we met wanted to tell us where to eat, drink, and ride
4. I would love to retire there(or Maine).

I have to agree with you on this. I rode from Toledo, Ohio, through Detroit, into Canada, and across to Montreal, and then the rally. Once I cleared Michigan, it seems blinkers started to work, again. The drivers in Vermont were MUCH better with their signals, although a little slow for me. That's my problem, of course.
I'm now looking forward to next years rally; which will be my second. Since I'm young, I hope to make it to another 40, at least.
