I spent Labor Day weekend around Sugarbush, VT; refereeing at the Green Mountain Stage Race (bicycles). Having spent the first 32 years of my life wandering I don't really consider myself a native of any particular state. But I have to say, for all the hype about the beauty of VT, I didn't really think it had anything over Central PA. Except the steepness of the ski resorts.
All things considered it was a great race. Only one hospitalized. Talk about crazy!! These guys (and gals) are riding on 3/4" tires at 120 psi for 65 miles one day and then 77 miles the next day. They come screaming down VT 17 from the Appalachian Gap at 50 mph on those tiny little tires. I have to work my motorcycle to keep up with them. Not so much the speed as the leaning for the turns. A couple of turns actually "energized" me. (A nice way to say scared.)
I don't know HOW people live up there. There is NO industry to speak of, outside of tourist crap.
And how do moose know to use the moose crossings? I saw two moose my first day up there. And each of them was within the bounds of a moose crossing sign area.
