Day 2: New Hampshire to Vermont

After stirring the troops and wolfing down a couple cups of coffee with some maple sausage and eggs, the Gormogons drove north for about an hour.  We tempted fate and began the trek in the Grand Yukon up Mt. Washington.  “After all”, piped up the Volgi from the way back (after all that’s where all the cool kids sit), “we need one of those iconic bumperstickers that reads, ‘This car climbed Mt. Washington.'”  The summit was crystal clear and Dr. J immediately sprung from the vehicle to start snapping pictures.  He lined us all up and arranged us into a great group shot and took a few snaps.

After surveying much of the rest of the state from the peak, we decided to move along to Vermont.  We toured around Montpelier, visiting Ceres, getting some great maple syrup, and letting the Volgi peruse the stacks at Rivendell Books. 

“Coats!  I WANT COATS!”, screamed ‘Puter.  While we didn’t think trying to find the Burlington Coat Factory in Burlington, VT, we had to appease ‘Puter.  Well it turns out that ‘Puter ain’t always right and we couldn’t find a Burlington Coat Factory store in Burlington, VT.  Oh well.  We continued zig-zagging across the top of Vermont a bit longer and made it to Lake Champlain. 

Having arrived a bit early, we took the opportunity to take a quick dip in the lake.  Of course, it took 45 minutes for everyone to get changed and then we had the indecisive ones who couldn’t decide if they were going in the lake, whether it was too cold, or whether they wanted to be seen in their skivvies.  After a handful of us got wet and relaxed, we moved into the rooms and spread out.  Luckily each of us got our own beds tonight.

Tune in later for a venture into New York.

GorT

GorT is an eight-foot-tall robot from the 51ˢᵗ Century who routinely time-travels to steal expensive technology from the future and return it to the past for retroinvention. The profits from this pay all the Gormogons’ bills, including subsidizing this website. Some of the products he has introduced from the future include oven mitts, the Guinness widget, Oxy-Clean, and Dr. Pepper. Due to his immense cybernetic brain, GorT is able to produce a post in 0.023 seconds and research it in even less time. Only ’Puter spends less time on research. GorT speaks entirely in zeros and ones, but occasionally throws in a ڭ to annoy the Volgi. He is a massive proponent of science, technology, and energy development, and enjoys nothing more than taking the Czar’s more interesting scientific theories, going into the past, publishing them as his own, and then returning to take credit for them. He is the only Gormogon who is capable of doing math. Possessed of incredible strength, he understands the awesome responsibility that follows and only uses it to hurt people.
