I forgot all about that....I may adda a day to the trip to spend in Montreal.

This is all good information....We'll definitely make another trip before we decided for sure, we'll make the next one in April

I didn't notice the middle paragraph until just now, but that is interesting to know, thank you

Lol I was worried about my DMs when I wrote that.

I’ve lived in Dallas for most of the last 25 years but I spent my early years in a rural area so I don’t think most of that would be a problem. I tend to not call the police eventif folks are doing something illegal on their own property unless it’s hurting someone else. I like to wave at folks when I pass them on the road.

The bit about the doctors I didn’t expect, is that because like any rural area, doctors set up shop where there are enough people so you might have to drive half an hour or so? Or is there a doctor shortage?

Thanks for the suggestion, I’ve updated the original post to include or interests. :)

Sounds like exactly what I’m looking for.

Thank you, that’s very helpful :)

Oh yes, this is quality information.

Lol yes, I have had this debate in my head, I am fairly sold on Vermont, my husband is a little concerned about living in a smaller state (we’re from Texas). So I told him about muddy season and asked if he’d prefer to see it at its worst or best and he opted for “best.”

I’m even tacking on a train ride to NYC (he’s never been) to show him the cities that are driving distance to sweeten the deal.

Any favorite restaurants you’d recommend?

Edit: thanks for the extra info!

Excellent idea, thank you :)
