What about us, Vermont?

After looking at our visitor logs over the last year, I feel I have to do something about a group of states that never visit. You know who you are…well, you really don’t know who you are, do you…
Vermont…I actually like Vermont. I had the pleasure of visiting in January once and remember it being impossibly cold. I didn’t mind it so much after seeing there were boats actually frozen into Lake Champlain. That’s really fascinating to me for some reason. I was even told there’s a ferry of some sort that goes between Burlington and New York that’s an ice breaker! How cool is that?
I’ve been as far North as St. Albans but never had the pleasure of seeing the actual town of Podunk, Satan’s Kingdom, or your very own lake monster, Champ. The UVM area seemed like a really nice place to go to school, but I would have withered and died in a place like that. Skiing for my degree just wouldn’t have been my scene. Credit is deserved for giving us Newhart, Ben and Jerry’s, and being the original home to Chester A. Arthur and his epic sideburns. Your faux French name also scores you some points, but nearly every time I’ve typed it today it initially came out “Vermin.”
Your ongoing battles with Bigfoot are always amusing, but I hear some of your citizens want to secede from the United States. I can’t get behind that. You have the smallest largest city in any of the 50 states and are second least populated, so I realize there aren’t that many Vermonters, but you should join the rest of this great nation and visit our site.
