Today, back in 1791, Vermont joined the Union. It’s called the Green Mountain State for the ridge of mountains running the length of the state.
Rhinos have lived for 50 million years, and We were in North America when the Ice Age glaciers came 2 million years ago, paring down the Green Mountains. The ice started to depart only 20 thousand years ago, leaving things the way they are today, mostly. Still impressive.
This is an unusual picture, being bi-Seasonal: Summer&Winter. YIR, awash with Pioneer Spirit.
I am glad that they did join the Union. It’s a beautiful place for vacationing, and we don’t need a passport to get there.
