Most People Have No Idea This Unmarked International Border In Vermont Even Exists
Let’s be clear about one thing right off the bat: Border crossings are no joke.

This road along (and through) the border is marked on some maps, but not on others. Let’s take a closer look at a road on the international border in VT.
