This is our newest unrelenting positivity post.
The state in question is the great state of New Hampshire.
To all our foreign friends give a shout ask questions send praise. To our Americans do the same.
Ask questions, share stories, make jokes. Just remember not to be a jerk.
Recall the famous phrase my grandma invented “if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything that isn’t redemptively funny.”
Stay tuned for 25/50 after this one. Halfway point incoming.
The states are in random order based on my whim at the moment. My whim this time is I’ll be down/over there tomorrow so why not?

Wind record mountain 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I have climbed it 3 times in winter. 2 we did not make the summit because it got so horribly bad very quickly. The third time we made it but basically fled the summit after like 10 minutes because it gets bad fast.
When you are putting in ice screws and snow is literally snowing up from below you at 30-50mph it’s time to think very seriously of getting the hell off the mountain.
When the wind is hitting gusts over 75mph just stop what you are doing and head down.

Wait, I kinda like this idea of state March Madness where we now only have 25 of them. Go on.

Well damn… now I have a new project for next year.
We have to find a way to control for population of our users. Maybe you can vote on head to head matchups but you have to have flair and can’t vote for your own state or something like that.

It is such a fun place. I’m hoping to get my kids back up that way this summer.

Such a cool license plate motto: Live Free or Die.

That was part of my post. General Stark has some hard as nails quotes and married a total badass.

I like it here. People are so honest. And all the trees are beautiful.

It's much better than Old Hampshire. Newer updates, faster internet...

I mean the motto is “Live Free or Die: death is not the worst of evils.”
Mostly aspirational these days but so it goes.
General Stark also has the hard as nails quote:
(There a few reported versions of the quote but the gist is the same)
Molly did not sleep a widow and was a badass in her own right. She turned their Derryfield (now Manchester) house into a smallpox ward for revolutionary soldiers. Mother of 11 children. The Molly Stark cannon, or "Old Molly", bears her name, and is kept by the New Boston Artillery Company.
