1. elperromagico, I think your magic made it so. Wasn't that way 5 min. ago!

:freak: at least for me it wasn't. No way NH and VT are larger than Jersey, no way. I think this is classic MIHOP geography. I'm off to walk the perimeter of Jersey just to prove you wrong.

2. These maps fool us.

They're tricky. They make big states look small and small states look big.

And remember that, in terms of people, NJ far surpasses both NH and VT combined. NY far surpasses AR and IA.

4. Well, all right. I'm still taking the hike!

Hope I make it through the Jersey Pine Barrens.
