Whether manmade, natural or situational, there are some things in life we simply try to avoid. While Vermonters like to take advantage of all that our beautiful state has to offer, there are still a few things we avoid when we can. In the end I think you’ll agree… we have in pretty good here in Vermont.
- Japanese Beetles
Flickr/Shadow Planet They say if you become more familiar with the things you despise, you’ll hate them less. Not necessarily true with these little buggers. They will destroy your garden.
- Mosquitos and Black Flies
Flickr/Enrique Dans Not only are they annoying, but those suckers bite!
- Potholes
Flickr/Fairfax County Ok, they’re not usually THIS big, but they can sure feel like it!
- Oh Deer…
Flickr/Charles Wohlers They may look cute, but they will jump right in front of your car out of nowhere.
- And Moose?
Flickr/Mags Bonham Well, they can total your car!
- Leaving trash bags unsecured outside.
Flickr/sortofbreakit If this happens, you sort of asked for it.
- Construction
Flickr/Doug Kerr Vermont weather takes its toll on the roads and it appears that something always needs to be fixed. Take an alternate route if you can to avoid it.
- Planning around spring weather.
Flickr/Karen Blaha Spring weather can be unpredictable at best. Just because the flowers are blooming, don’t put your shovels away just yet!
- Black Ice
Flickr/Paul Moody Just because you can’t see it, it doesn’t mean it’s not there.
- Dirt roads during mud season.
Flickr/Rick Payette Simply brutal.
- Speed Traps
Flickr/- POD - According to thrilllist.com Vermont is the #1 worst state in the US for speed traps.
- Floods
Flickr/Daniel Scarnecchia Have some quality rubber boots and be prepared for floods at any time of the year.
- The grocery store before a snowstorm.
