With gas prices as they are, what better time to run up several thousand miles on a road trip? At least that seems to be the DW's attitude, so we're heading from mid-Missery to Vermont and New Hampshire next week. We have four days to get to our first B&B in northern Vermont, and have no itinerary in mind, but we do figure since it can be on the way, why not see Niagra Falls? I want to avoid just driving the interstates, and I have a question for you northern members about possible routes from Buffalo to Newport, VT. It looks like I could go US11 or New York Route 3. US11 has a certain appeal because I grew up along US11 in Tennessee. I went over 100 MPH for my first time on US11. I didn't get to second base any number of times in the back seat of various cars while riding down US11. On the other hand, New York Route 3 goes through the Adriondack Park, so I bet it is especially scenic. We're in no hurry and can cruise along, but I was thinking it might be like driving through the Smoky Mountains in the height of tourist season....bumper-to-bumper for miles. So, are either of those routes no one in his right mind would use? Not that I am often in my right mind. I tend to only visit on special occasions.
