I'd like to do another tour in Vermot in mid Sept. right before a lot of the campgrounds close, trying to stay on dirt as much as possible.
Yes. A lot of the dirt is surprisingly smooth. I’m guessing they were the original roads that linked towns before the state highways were built. I passed lots of cute country stores on the more major roads but have seen them in more isolated areas during other trips.
I think many of the state park campgrounds are open until “Columbus Day”, but I know of at least one (Bomonseen) that closes after Labor Day, but nearby Half Moon Pond stays open later. I’ve stayed there twice. Pretty nice.
I have a few more photos to post.
