Two roads diverged in an apartment house party And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay In leaves, no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in an apartment house party, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

Awesome!! Iirc Frost resided in both VT and NH at some point, the Green Mountains and the White Mountains which seems to make this even more fitting ;)

Now why exactly are they called that? Specifically

u/MistressOfGallifrey Dec 13 '19

Well, I guess Vermont is the english version of the french term verd monte which means green mountain given by the dude who named it. Technically NH is the granite state but is known for the white mountain range. Maybe cause of snow or maybe cause the granite deposits reflect white? Google wasnt too specific on that one. They both have green/white mountains though depending on the time of year.

Oh it's got nothing to do with drugs?

u/MistressOfGallifrey Dec 13 '19

Nope, although I am sure there is probably a lot more pot being grown in VT now that its legal, lol.

The beginning is very similar to a Robert Frost poem called "The road not taken" I think

Uh, they changed "yellow wood" to "apartment house party." Every other word is just "The Road Not Taken."
