Vermont MOA

In July, I rode to the BMW Motorcycle Owners Association National meeting in Burlington, Vermont. I planned the trip with several objectives in mind:
1. Visit my niece, Sherree, and family in Kingsport, TN
2. Visit my nephew, Shane, and family in Morgantown, WV
3. Travel NO interstates
4. Avoid any major ciites
I accomplished all these objectives, except for the next to last day home. After 2600 miles, my butt was getting pretty sore, and naturally the secondary highways add a good bit to the milage and especially to the time. So, coming back through WV, I got on the interstate and traveled it to just east of Lexington, KY. This, in fact, was a beautiful ride; very little traffic; nice mountain scenery.
Probably my favorite part of the trip was traversing PA; south to north just east of Pittsburg; then west to east across the northern part of the state (highway 6). The scenery was beautiful and the small towns along the way were neat and interesting. This included going throught the famous town of Punxsutawney, where you see Groundhog Phil EVERYWHERE.
Total trip miles was just over 2700 miles and time on the road was 9 days. Great trip, but I was ready to rest for a couple of days.
