On the Run

This Maplefields gas station and convenience store is a regular stop while coming off the 89 for gas when we are heading to to the US or heading back to Canada. It’s close proximity to the border (roughly 10 miles) and their clean washrooms plus snack selection make it a good stop for us and help serve our needs. Gas was $ 2.49 a gallon on my stop for 87 octane which is a steal compared to the $ 1.20 we pay roughly a L in Quebec. They do also have free WIFI that there is no password to login to. On the way back home I was very pleased to pick up two 12 packs of Harpoon beer for $ 15.99 each. Harpoon is an awesome beer that Is Vermont/​Boston brewed. They call it a New England IPA. If you like Sam Adams give Harpoon a try. Sure there is a closer gas station to the border but we enjoy hitting up this one in St Albans and will keep on doing so in our travels in the future!

Fairly large gaz station with a good variety of snacks and food items, The place seems popular in the morning for breakfast sandwiches and filtered coffee ()there is a large selection).
I must do a sidetone here: I don’t like filtered coffee much as I drink espresso and espresso based coffee (Cappuccino, latte) when possible. However, when you travel with a large vehicle at 5 am, sometimes places with filtered coffee are the only option. One thing they have here, and quite popular in Vermont, is a selection of filtered coffee from «Green Mountain Coffee». To offer it, the have isolated coffee pots to keep the various kind hot, One thing that I worry in those cases is how long ago was this coffee made? Well, I noticed that these pots have little displays with indicators that lets you know how long ago the coffee was made!
The place is not really a track stop but some trucks come here and there are diesel pumps for it,

On the Run is a great stop when making a run for the Canadian border. The Gas is reasonably priced and the store has plenty of on the road snacks and sandwiches.

Stopped here for coffee and gas about 5 days last week. Always friendly service and hot coffee. Gas was reasonably priced for VT. Always saw someone eating in the sit down part of the store. Food looked good. Restrooms were clean. Great place!
