I'm not sure what your point here is, but I feel I should point out that no part of Vermont is within 120 miles of Cape Cod, and the closest quarry would be more like 160 miles. The big quarries in the Barre area (I used to live across the street from Rock of Ages) are pushing 200 miles, and are at a mean altitude of about 1500 feet above sea level.
