"See Vermont"

It is now time to put my 8th Vermont trip into perspective. Eight times I have ventured to visit the Green Mountain State. Eight times I have crossed Lake Champlain to enjoy all that the Green Mountains have to offer. Which is so much!
It is the natural beauty of the land. The diversity of the state of Vermont. Which includes; lakes, mountains, rivers, islands, and valleys. It is the rich history of Vermont. How a tiny area. Inhabited by simple farm people. Banded together to form a country. The Republic of Vermont founded in 1777. Under the leadership of Ethan Allan. The fact that today in the year 2013. Vermont hasn't really changed very much. The Green Mountains are still as beautiful as ever. They are still inhabited by a small group of simple and strong people. Who are proud to call Vermont there home. The state of Vermont to me resembles a beautiful and unique European Country. That is forever lost in North America. For living in Vermont today. Is totally different then living in Canada or the U.S.A., in my opinion. Vermont represents a quality of life. That the other two counties just can't match!
So for anybody who reads this post. Do yourself a favor and "See Vermont". You will be happy and glad when you do!
