Shell, I went up to Rt 17 on labor day weekend. I can tell you it's one helluva road! Nicely paved, tight turns, couple insane hairpins, elevation changes and good views. I went up there with a buddy of mine. It was 2 day trip, total of 660 miles or so. But we didn't do straight shot to VT. We did pretty much all backroads ( hitting western Mass and NH on a way back ) getting there and back. It'd be tough to do it in 1 day. I'm guessing it'd be around 320-380 rountrip miles if we took 119 to vt100 north to vt 17. There're couple more roads before vt 17- like vt 73 and vt 125 that are nice and twisty too. The ride would take ALL day with minimal stops. You ready for that old man?
