"Where in the U.S.A. is Lindsay?"

Lindsay is kicking off the holiday shopping season by heading to a place where business trip pity goes to die.  People are certainly less inclined to feel bad about a post-holiday sojourn when you mention this rather scenic destination.  Oh well, it is a tough burden, but Lindsay will bear it if she must.  Fortunately for her, when the fatigue of carrying such a burden gets her down, there will be plenty of caffeine available as this is the only U.S. state that grows coffee (I, for one, readily admit that this fact is steadily decreasing all inclination to pity).  Now, avid readers may note this fun factoid is a repeat clue - fear not, we are not running out of material, but rather this repetition is designed to function as an additional clue to this week's destination. Much like this week's geographic echo, this state features a linguistic echo of two different vowels in its name.  (Actually, as it turns out, this is not an overly unique occurrence in US state names.  Seriously, look it up. Surprisingly pedestrian, as is the use of a single vowel 3 times within an name).  Despite all this repetition, however, I sincerely doubt Lindsay will tire of repeat experiences of this state's sweet export - it supplies over one-third of the world's commercial supply of pineapples.  Regardless, Lindsay should be able to take in some scenic vistas while partaking in these local exports, as this state's mountain range tops are the biggest in the world (although, to be fair, that claim is a bit below the belt, or sea level as it were).  Do you know "Where in the U.S.A. is Lindsay?"
