George's Vermont River Badge Drop

Vermont stacked them close: Lake Champlain Paddlers' Trail, the Lamoille River Paddlers' Trail, and the Connecticut River Paddlers' Trail all in one skinny green state, per Forests, Parks and Recreation. Before you haul a boat to the next pond, Vermont DEC wants it clean, drained and dry — mud, plants and critters off, water out away from shore, five days drying in the sun if you can't hot-wash it. Eight pieces in the Vermont drop: unisex tee, women's relaxed tee, youth tee, muscle tank, garment-dye crop tee, full-color two-tone cap, golf rope cap, and five-panel rope cap. Paddle On. Only You Can Keep The Rivers Clean. — George
