Going to Vermont

[gordonzola]

So, I just did it, I booked my tickets to go to the only states in the country I’ve never visited and check out dairy farms and cheese makers. Does it snow in Vermont and Maine in April? I don’t want to die!

I’ve got a lot of things planned already, but it there anything, especially in Vermont, that I need to see or check out? Unfortunately, I had to shorten this vacation because of some construction/production issues at work, but Vermont appears to be like the size of my high school parking lot so I can probably fit some other things in if you, Dear Readers, have suggestions.

It may snow.

I spent lots and lots of time in Burlington as a youth, and it is also where I got all my cancer stuff done. There is a downtown in Burlington that will remind you of Ithaca's. Most of the places I went 10-15 years ago no longer exist.

Vermont is small, but the roads can be treacherous, so beware.

The north country/NE Kingdom of Vermont is the best part, most gnarly, least cute. Best things to observe are general live-free-or-die-ness. Bumper stickers that tell NYers to go home and people to buy locally-produced milk and etc.

And hear is my favorite place in Vermont:

Yeah, I'm from NY's north country, top of the Adirondack park, so Vermont was like civilization to me! But I hear you, I haven't been home in like 7 years. I might this summer.

Me, too. NE cemeteries rule, though! Especially hidden old ones in the woods. I think I might have been to that one near Rutland, I had a friend from Pittsfield who I used to drive home from college with.

I love that you went there for cancer stuff and your favorite place was the cemetary. That does look pretty aweome though.
