Is this a forced Reddit vocabulary or do people actually say “THE notch” to mean just one of the notches all over the area?

In northeast VT, people say “the notch” to mean smuggler’s notch specifically. The portion is 108S that runs from Jeffersonville to Stowe is called “the notch road”.

I’m not sure if this extends to the rest of the state.

I don’t think anyone says “the” notch if they’re not referring to Smugglers Notch.

Is there a force field that keeps you people from crossing state lines to get somewhere that’s really close by?

Yes. It's emitted by New Hampshites.

It’s really unsettling that so many people never leave their immediate area

Why would we drive two hours to get to a boring version of something we have here at home?

We do go to New Hampshire. It has very nice truck stops on our way to Boston.
