When we visit now the place is full of overage hippies wearing granny dresses (women) and gray pony tails (men). I asked my wife where all those clowns came from. She said they were there all the time, you didn't notice. I think they moved upstate from southern Vermont over the years. I can't recall them being there years ago. All I remember is my brother-in-law's hunting buddies and other locals, and they sure weren't hippies.
Gosh we were in Vermont just 5 or 6 years ago and I didn't notice a preponderance of overage hippies. You want to see a place just crawling with them go to Woodstock NY. Holy shyt that town is nothing but stupid looking old, gray haired, hippie stoners that should grow the fuuck up.
