Truthfully, I don't know how you people do it! It is a fact of life that you live in VT and I live in Cali, but nature is good out here. Mountains,beaches,parks, the desert....and of course....the traffic! FIREPLACES are NEAT though,huh?

a fireplace is a great thing...in January...not something you want to have to use in october...
it snows every year in oct or sept. but still always catches me off guard.

my Aunt went to VT and said it was really beautiful
but a buddy of mine went and said it was pretty bland
so I don't know who to believe
U of VT is supposed to be one of the most liberal of universities
don't they have a night where everybody gets naked
and runs like a mile or a 10K in the buff?
what is UVM is that different than U of VT?

the naked run has been discontinued as have most of the activities that once made it a party school...still super liberal though.

Were you in Redstone? (Great Memories)
Did they still have Cakewalk weekend?

Ever been to Lake Dunmore 10 miles from Middlebury?
Did you do much skiing @ Stowe?

Sorry to bore you.......

hotel VT is now high end condos...
Mary fletcher hosp. Is now Fletcher Allen hosp....it has recently undergone massive renovations and I avoid it like the plague (traffic issues).
Same with winooski...you wouldn't recognize it.

I didn't live in Redstone...I stayed off-campus...but I had friends who did...still fun...if you can stand the smell of patchulli (sp?)

My parents used to take my brothers and I camping @ Dunmore...great memories...
Skiied primarily @ smugg's and sugarbush until I blew me knee...quit after that....plus I can only afford one expensive hobby and my horse wins that one

Shopping mall on Church Street? Can't picture that one. How sad...........

don't know if your initials are there but I'm pretty sure mine are
