Long Island to Burlington VT

We live in Ridgefield CT and often drive to visit friends near Rutland Vt. Our preferred route is NY RT 22 up to the Bennington VT area then cut east to VT RT 7 north. The CT Turnpike (I95) to New Haven then I91 north is not a pleasant drive in my view. Taking CT RT 7 north from Norwalk CT up thru CT, MA and into VT is not my choice either. I suggest looking at Throgs Neck Bridge, I95 north to I287 west to I684 north which leads directly into NY RT 22 at Brewster NY and you are on your way. We have camped many times both at Burlington North campground and on Grand Isle. Loved them both. The 13 mile long Burlington Waterfront Bikeway rail trail passes right thru the Burlington North campground. A very nice ride.
