One of my first memories from Burlington is driving with my Mom to visit UVM and driving by the wales tales. I thought they were ridiculously random and out of place; that being said, I have always wanted to go out to the wales tales and hadn't managed to do so in the almost 8 years I have lived here. So I decided it was time to finally visit before I ran out of time.

Interestingly enough, I learned that the wales tales were made by J. Sardonis in 1989 and were made out of 36 tons of black granite. They have been on the cover of two books and I think their locations is a bit ironic because Vermont is New England's only landlocked state.
