I have never been to New England, it was gorgeous. So green and the people were so nice. Here in Utah there is a definite us against them mentality and as a result, people cut each other off in traffic, refuse to let people merge, never stop when there is someone with a flat tire on the side of the road, avoid eye contact on the street and just generally seem unapproachable.
In New England, people kept slowing down to let us over and stopping at a cross road to let us through, they gave us plenty of room to merge in and there was never a person on the side of the road without someone stopped to help them. We were really confused at first when people stopped to let us in, we kept thinking WHAT are these people doing?!
It took us a while to adjust to not seeing huge billboards on every road and seeing huge masses of trees everywhere we looked, even near big cities.
I am hoping to make a trip across the US on my scooter this spring to finally take in the mid-west and the south.
