"In Vermont no back road of any pride is content to have only one name. In the next town to me and its neighbors to the north, for example, Grassy Brook Road becomes Archie Jones Road, becomes Lower Road, becomes Route 35, becomes Weaver Brook Road, becomes Cambridgeport Road -- all in the course of about 15 miles of the same thoroughfare.''

-- "Unimproved Roads,'' by Castle Freeman Jr., in the March 1998 issue of Yankee magazine.
