What comes to mind when you think of Vermont??

[bluecarebear]

Beautiful mountains, cold, and far left liberals. A state to visit but not to live in.

Cows, corn, fertilizer, maple syrup

Agreed. Cheese, maples and evergreens, and lake Champlain are the most memorable experiences for me from Vermont.

Green mountains;, beautiful, classic New England villages,: red barns, white church spires; maple syrup, a politically liberal population, cold snowy winters

I find it a lot like like eastern upstate NY (counties bordering on Lake Champlain) except less dilapidated, less redneck.

Similarities: same cheese (blasphemy, I know), same northwoods culture, little dairy farms and pumpkin patches carved out of the forest, forest, maples, forest, maples, maple sugar, ski areas, forest, barns.

Differences: more money, more nice (if not luxurious) cars, fewer guys in hunting plaid and Carhartts standing around smoking cigarettes in 0 degree weather, small, fewer lakes, better/more ski areas by area, less deep wilderness than New York.

Basically, I think Vermont is pretty darn cool.
