Crazy beautiful.

I'm spending a week in a friend's condo near Ludlow.

I could easily live here all year.

Pics when I come back.

Some of my friends had their own band and during their entire tour (USA/Canada) they all agreed that Vermont was the place they would move to if given the chance. Are there a lot of big retail stores there or just mom n pop places?

it's all fun and games till you've got to dig your car out from under 3' of snow at 5 am and then drive to work on a road that's a sheet of ice :p

I drove 30 miles to Walmart today. :D
Not so many big places, you gotta search for them.

Vermont sucks. Tourists can't say otherwise til they've lived there at least 20 years.

Vermont seemed like the sort of place that I would LOVE to buy a cabin in and live for a year or two with a nice wood fireplace and a huge stack of books. Beautiful in the summer, beautiful-but cold-in the winter, and very isolated. I could do the Walden thing.

If it takes 20 years to realize it sucks, it's waaaaay ahead of many places.

Damn! You should try West Lebanon, NH. It's up 91 a bit.

Walmart site seemed to say that Claremont was the closest.
I don't know the roads too well, GPS is saving the day for me.

West Lebanon has more than Wal-mart. It's the retail center of middle NE.
