Indeed, Hartland VT (just under 100 miles as the crow flies from the CA border) has a CBP checkpoint on I-91, but it's seldomly staffed these days.

When it is staffed, it's not too unusual for them to pull random people over on US-5, which parallels I-91.

These sorts of checkpoints bother me (I have to deal with the checkpoints near Yuma, AZ as well). Nothing like being a US Citizen, driving between two points in my own country, and have some guy stop me, conduct vehicle searches, and ask detailed questions about who I am and where I'm going.
