Changes

Rides come from anyone: parents going to work, kids going to school, even grandmothers out running errands. Vermont is perhaps the most ideal place in the country to raise a family, with its comprehensive healthcare for all children, wide variety of quality schools, freedom of thought and expression, and consistently low crime rate. But it's not all Mayberry in the Green Mountains. Vermont is very 4-20 friendly, and odds are while thumbing through the state a traveler will have the chance to sample some salad-like, uplifting and contemplative homegrown herb. The state is also home to a few of [[North America]]'s best microwbrews.

But the cops in Vermont are usually very chill and whoever gets a ticket for hitchhiking has usually done something to piss them off. They actually tend to be very helpful with directions and other knowledge. Another thing about rides in Vermont: be prepared to hear all kinds of local stories.
