Yes, Actually, I was going to write something about Route 100 and route 15 up
to and in and around Stowe. Route 15 going north out of Stowe is beautiful and
gets mountain-y the further north you go. The whole area is full of great
country drives bordered by beautiful hills, lakes and rivers. I have gone up a
couple of times for the 3 day British festival up there. (The name of the
event escapes me, right now). That is a truly spectacular drive, both driving
and sight seeing. The only time it is not a lot of driving fun is on weekends
during peak fall-foliage..... Tour buses, minivans, and station wagons parked
and creeping along, everywhere! But the rest of the time, it's great! -And the
British festival is a lot of fun if the weather is good. (I like watching the
newbie Land Rover owners trying to negotiate the off road course they set up).
Tons o fun. There are some nice "English Style" inns to stay at up there
too..

#1. Route 100, Vermont. Especially in September. More fun in an 79 Aston
Martin Volante with a blonde named Carol.
#2. Ocean Road, from Bradley Beach to Spring Lake, N.J.in July, about
seven miles of straight road at 25 mph, for a gentleman of my advanced
age I still find it a thrill to hear nubile bikini clad ladies say "nice
Triumph Pops." I've given up trying to explain the pedigree.
