Population doesn’t really change it in my view, as most of the density is going to be in the armpits of the state anyways. But the people moving in are drastically changing what the state used to be.

Idaho man. When me and my wife decided to move back home (we’d been out of state for 6 years) we were also contemplating Idaho. Spent a couple weeks in Fairfield with a friend who lives out there and it was like VT was 20 years ago. Although I guess they have their fair share of assholes moving in from California since Covid.

Anyways, we decided to move back home and it’s not the same place we left.

Vermont is beautiful and all, but please, the south is not a monolith. It’s full a great cities, nature, and culture, not to mention diversity that Vermont definitely does not have. Please understand that these places and experiences you’re referring sound crappy, and I’m sorry for you, but they do not represent the entire southeast.

Obvious things that stand out:

• Antiseptic wipes should be universal.
• Lack of hand/feet warmers in cold climates.

What I would recommend is looking at climate and ecosystem zones individually to design first aid and survival kits. E.g. poison parsnip grows in Vermont, let's have something in our kit for exposure to that. Ticks are pretty common east of the Mississippi--gotta have something for that. Hire me to do your market segmentation if need be.

Once I was going for a walk along a road in Richmond and saw a stoat poke it’s little head up in the hollowed knot of a tree. It was such a perfectly posed scene, like a little animatronic. Could hardly believe my eyes!

it is correct

KOA Queechee.

Fishing, pool, bike rentals, and hay rides.

Or take a ride to the gorge, then baby animals at Billings farm.

Ive been all over Vermont my entire life just never stayed at a campground. Several little kids with us, so more resort style is preferable

You got lucky.

Thank ya!

Fairfax?

Yup you are old enough. You are bringing up blasts from the past. Haven't thought about them in a long time. I miss the lot of them.

Your username is 👍

AI is right on lol

Indeed, heck, I'm old enough to remember when the local kids were running scared from Desi in her newsstand while Mim Welton cruised by on her motorcycle with her unmoving braid hunting down pictures for the Dateline lol.

I mean… it’s not far off. Maybe more barns than churches. And the colors aren’t quite right.

Tks.

Not enough jobs. Only a few people to pay for everything. It’s $23k a year more for me to live here. I would like more (younger) people to balance it out. This is just a vacation state at this point.

OMG you're as old as I am! He was a character with a capital C.

I think the richest country with the largest military in the world can manage to send equipment to a western country in a fight for its sheer existence.

Lovely shot. I half expect to see Gene Pagano walking out from his Mobile station.
