If you leave NY from RT.4 you will fall upon a Welcome Center in Fair Haven....great guide books to be had....
Go north on RT.7 into Burlington for a "taste" of everything,the Lake, a college town plus a GREAT downtown.park at the garage and WALK to everything ( cheap and well worth it)
OR
Travel across Rt.4 for a quiet adventure with Woodstock Village smack in the middle;plenty to do here also,old mills converted into shops,hot air balloon rides,antiquing the right way and Quechee Gorge just minutes away....
New Hampshire can be found at
New Hampshire's White Mountains - Making Memories Every Day!
Welcome center is just after you leave White River Junction VT. and enter Lebanon ,NH..
A little bit of everything here....hiking, kayaking, ZIP_LINE rides and even 6 wheel off-road adventures PLUS not a bad view to be found at any of the hotels ....
Finish your travels down to the Coast( my area) and enjoy our beaches,waterfronts; LOBSTER , and old New England towns....
Maine is easy....
Home - Maine Office of Tourism
The ride along the Coast is great, LL Bean in Freeport,Great little Village...true Down Mainers...a-yuh.....with the Best Western just outside of town headed towards Bath/Brunswick having canoe rentals and a GREAT breakfast !!!!
If you need more exact info on anything and can not find it on the WEB, give me a PM.. I Enjoy all 3 states and have a little back ground with each....we will try to help...
Like you,driving is in my "Blood"....my "Mack Office" sees me enough to pay for little get-aways too.....
