Lake Willoughby is where I spent my summers in the late 1940’s through 1955. My brother Warren Daoust, cousin Arlene Seibold and I hiked the Pisgah trail. We stayed at cabins on the Lacross farm and a couple of summers we worked at a horseback riding stable on the Barton Road (Route 15). In 1971 I flew my Dad in my airplane between Mt Pisgah and Mt Hor. My parents owned a home (bought in 1970) on the northwest corner of Lake Willoughby. The roads in Orleans County were unpaved until about 1960 and the lake shoreline road was single lane in many places.
Third grade teacher here & I showed this video to my class during lunch in our classroom. You should’ve heard their expressions with the vivid colors around the overlooks! They loved it! Wonderful work!! We’ve watched several of your videos now (I just back from Mansfield & Marcy myself) and they really enjoy following your adventures!
I have enjoyed your adventures through Vermont so much. I understand people's desire to see Europe and other places in the world, but there is so much to see in this country. Literally, a lifetime is not enough time to see it all.
We agree! While we very anxiously await getting to go abroad, we LOVE traveling around the US. There are so many places to explore here and tons of diverse scenery.
My wife and I got married at Lake Willoughby. It’s my favorite place in the world. So beautiful! I’ve been going there every year since I was a little kid!
Lived in the Northeast Kingdom area for 1 year, and I didn't know this area was this beautiful!! Thank you Adventures of A+K for another amazing video, and looking forward to another amazing New England video!
Very beautiful there. My family built a cabin on Willoughby Lake in the early 1900's and owned it for several generations. What great memories of a summer I spent there.
Lifelong Vermonter here, greetings from South Royalton! Looks like you guys had a blast for sure. There’s so many great places to explore and beauty to be beheld all around our great lil state. Thanks for the video, it was great!
Those views were insane! You timed the trip just right. I'm in Asheville and the colors are starting to peak at higher elevations. It gets pretty spectacular here too.
Welcome back anytime to my beloved home. I'm so happy my ho.e state filled your hearts like it does mine every day I live here. Thanks again for sharing your live for my home.
Beautiful...awesome seeing that side of Vermont. We just took our kids to a fire tower lookout this past weekend as well...pretty amazing view although not quite as dramatic as yours there. Always fun when you find one of those. It's interesting seeing the different types of tress there in Vermont...looked like a lot of evergreens or firs mixed in with the maples. Just has a different feel than back here in Minnesota. As always, love the Kona slow mos...when can we strap the GoPro on her and get a Kona spin off channel????
I used to teach at Holland Elementary. After three days of standardized testing the whole school would hike Pisgah. Lunch at the top. Beautiful memories. So blessed to live in the kingdom. Glad you enjoyed your visit.
THAT WAS SO BEAUTIFUL❣️ The colorful tree filled hills and cliffs were so gorgeous and the water below it all was an amazing contrast! I have to say I don’t know how you ALL climbed those steep stairs to the lookout…wowza! I loved the really long stick that Konie was carrying around…she is just too dang cute❣️ Great video❣️
Living in the PNW I didn’t think anything could be more beautiful from where I am until these videos were released. I am in planning mode for a Vermont/New Hampshirite visit next fall. As always, love the video editing.
By looking at the fall color change it becomes apparent that there is a fair amount of time between your adventures and when you post the videos. I enjoy everything that you post.
Normally our videos are 2-3 weeks behind, but the gap is getting larger due to how much we filmed and only sharing 2 videos a week. Fall is definitely giving this away more than normal haha 😅
Fellow Vermonter here who caught you in their recommended feed! Thank you for showing our beautiful state and thanks for adding some things to my bucket list!
Hello Adventurers😊😊, I'm so glad you got to explore the Northeast Kingdom! Isn't Lake Willoughby absolutely SPECTACULAR??!! The fire tower was really cool climbing those super steep steps and getting a GOURGOUS VIEW...WOW!!! So now your heading to White Mountains National Forest...and I can't wait to see that footage. The Kancamagus Highway MUST be explored as there are many trailheads to hike. The highest mountain in all of New England is Mount Washington at over 6500 feet and winds can be VERY ferocious at the summit during fall season. There are 3 ways to get to the summit: Take the cog railway, drive, or take the van tour...probably best done during spring, summer or early fall. SOOO many covered bridges and SPECTACULAR waterfalls!! Kona must be having an AWESOME time. I hope your enjoying the White Mountains. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!
It was so spectacular! And we loved NH as well, it was insanely beautiful! We have a lot of spots we will be sharing next week from there and can’t wait to show what all we did!
Hello! How nice to see this video. Thanks for the information. Beautiful scenery. I’ve snowmobiled all over the Northeast Kingdom for years out of Island Pond just east of this. I’ve been on that lake in winter on my sled and my friend and I were in awe at that steep rock face, so straight up from the water. It was nice to see it during a different season. That area is the pinnacle of Vermont snowmobiling and rivals the best in the entire north east. Thanks .
I have been living in South Burlington, Vermont for the last 10 years but that said haven’t explored much of Vermont. But that is hopefully going to change thanks to you three, your dog included. 🙏
Looked amazing! The colors and the view overall were amazing, but the fire-tower was incredible! Can't wait to see the whites.... they're reputation is fantastic!
You know it’s truly the best day when you haven’t had ice cream and it’s still the best day 😂😂 but actually, this hike was so stunning, holy cow. Thank you for sharing as always, can’t wait to see what’s next 🤩
Another great video and thanks for sharing. I don't live too far away from Vermont, so will have to keep on my future bucket list the places you hiked. You always do a great job with the producing of your videos, like you are telling a story, with cuts to the trail, then the leaves, you both have a talent for describing over video everything you are seeing.
Thank you so much Ron! We really appreciate the kind words. Making these videos has been an ongoing learning experience for us and we're glad you enjoy them!
Just beautiful! Two kids living their dream before they get old and worn out. Great video! Would have been cool to have a hang-glider and just stepped off the edge of that overlook. Yee-Haa!! What a ride.
What a beautiful video! I am assuming you will see a lot more beautiful spots in the New England States!! Thanks for sharing! What a nice relaxing video for us ! 😊
Great video! Love Lake Willoughby, I first went there when I was 4 back in the 70’s my grandparents had a camper at the white caps. So many gray hikes! Bald MT was always my favorite as it’s the highest elevation and the fire tower is so cool! Love VT! ❤
Just discovered your channel while doing research for a trip to South Dakota next year. I really enjoy your videos and made changes to our itinerary based on your travels. Love your enthusiasm - you clearly find the joy in the journey!
The colors just keep getting better and better! How beautiful and how lucky you are to be there at this time of the year! Loved Kona with his sticks! lol My fear of heights would have kept be from going to the top of the fire lookout but what beautiful views! Thanks again!
The steps up to it were a bit exposed, which made it a bit scary! And the wind didn't help either! We are very thankful we got to explore part of New England in the fall. It lived up to the hype!
Um WOW!!! This was insane!!! Oh my word guys, I was exclaiming and smiling the whole time over these views!!! The colors.....so freaking gorgeous!!!! Amazing camera work as well...that last drone shot heading into the sunset was absolutely magnificent!!!! All of your vlogs are great and I think this is one of my favorites ever! WOW!!! Thanks so much for sharing...I'm feeling so inspired right now! #americasfavoritetravelingcouple
That fall foliage looks glorious. The scenery reminds me of Acadia National Park, but inland - probably because of similar glacial carving. I'm glad you guys had better weather for these hikes.
I’m so excited for y’all & your spectacular day in VT! Finally New England paid off!! It was breathtaking just watching ur Vlog - can only imagine in person!! Will definitely be making a return trip to their & following in ur footsteps! We loved the White Mnts; of NH, looking forward to see what y’all get in to!!
Beautiful area, isn't it. My little 20 acre homestead in East Charleston is 5 miles due east from that fire tower you climbed. I wake every morning to these beautiful vistas here in the NEK. I was hoping you would have paid a quick visit to Sentinel Rock State Park, not 3 miles from Mt. Pisgah right up from Lake Willoughby also with beautiful views and no hiking involved. I retired up here form NJ back in 2015 and have no desire to ever leave this beautiful State. So happy you enjoyed the NEK, Mt Pisgah, Mt. Hors (directly across Lake Willoughby from Mt. Pisgah) and Bald Mountain. Have fun in New Hampshire. Cheers!
Great video! So glad the colors are peaking at the right time for you. I have always said, these New England hiking trails are basically, straight up. Its that Puritan work ethic thing...just get it done!
Wow! The view from the fire tower was unbelievable! (I'm not especially afraid of heights but the fire tower also looks very nerve wracking!) That squirrel at the end was making some weird noises.
Awesome video! Always enjoy your videos but this one just hit all the right notes for me. The flow of it, cinematography, and music was all spot on. So glad you could fly the drone here. Those shots were spectacular, especially with that little bit of fog. We spent a day at Lake Willoughby as part of last summer’s Vermont vacation. We hiked Mt. Pisgah and then did some canoeing on the lake. This is not a place I see mentioned ever but it certainly wasn’t a secret. It was packed. I think it ended up being everyone’s favorite spot in Vermont. It definitely was my older two boy’s favorite spot. They got to see some things at the south beach cove area as we were not aware there was a nude beach section.
Thank you! The drone helped a ton! It provided an amazing perspective. The fog can be a pain sometimes when it's too thick, but when it's patchy it can add something nice! haha we're thankful we didn't have that experience! 😂
There was a mural of Lake Willoughby at the Grange in West Dummerston, Vt. The whole Northeast Kingdom is such a majestic mysterious place. I hope to go back to someday.
So, you hiked so far that Kona needed a hiking staff, huh?? *grin* Thank you for all the fall colors of Vermont. Can't wait to see what New Hampshire looks like. Until next time.... Travel Safe.
I found your channel, when looking for VT videos and WOW! Your editing and content is superb and you both are so cute! Plus, hands down THE best VT footage I’ve seen on RUclips! ❤️
Beautiful views from that fire tower. It's hard to imagine how many square miles of wilderness you could see from up there. On your way back to Texas you'll need to swing by Mt. Sunflower in Kansas and knock off another high point. (In spite of the name it is one of the easiest.)
We watched this video last year and enjoyed it then. Rewatched it this time as we visited the area and decided to hike Pisgah Mt instead of the trail across the lake. Glad we followed your lead. Views are great even in August. Thanks for sharing this video.
Wow! Those views & all the fall colors…simply splendid! 🧡Great seeing Kona finding her own joy on the trail as well! 🐶To me, your videos have been a beautiful love letter to Vermont which I thoroughly enjoyed! ❤️
In the winter, the state forest land is great for snowshoeing, or x-skiing ,yes even up to the top! Seasonal ice climbing on those cliffs. And that south beach you were at, just past that outcrop of rock to your left, is the clothing optional beach.
I loved this video...and I am actually moving there next week, thanks for the timely video, I can't wait to be there...currently living in Palm Springs CA....what a change eh?, thanks for the great video and inspiration!
@@AdventuresofAplusK thanks...I am from NY and have been here in CA for 10 years to care for my parents who have passed on, I have been planning this move for some time....your video gave me an extra boost w/ all the packing & moving effort....it's important to remember where and why you are moving to a new place. Thanks again and keep up the great video tours!
I’m trying to make it my life goal and dream to move to Vermont/New England. I have a long history in my family tree of New England heritage background and I’m trying to make my way back to New England. Seems so beautiful and peaceful and nice :)
This video was filmed on October 1, 2021 and doesn’t reflect the current state of fall foliage.

Beautiful fall colors…..The Northeast Kingdom looks magical. Thanks for sharing this incredible video.
Safe Travels!
It is an incredible area! Thank you for watching!
NEK is awesome the land scape and people amazed me so much I moved here.
That is awesome! We loved it out there!
Boy howdy!!! the colors are a poppin off the canvas for real! Time to head South to join the snow birds!
Hahah we are quite a bit south now! Back to Texas soon for a warm winter!
That was really spectacular!! Such beauty with the Vermont lakes, mountains and fall foliage!!! Thanks again🍁🍂🍂🍁!!!
So happy you enjoyed the views!
Thank you for the beautiful videos each time.
WOW AWESOME THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING. So beautiful fall pictures. Not much color in south carolina.
Thank you so much for watching! ❤️❤️
Very beautiful there. My family built a cabin on Willoughby Lake in the early 1900's and owned it for several generations. What great memories of a summer I spent there.
Oh wow! That would be AMAZING to have! What a memory!
glad your enjoyed it!

Thanks for watching Noah! We loved your state!
Those views were insane! You timed the trip just right. I'm in Asheville and the colors are starting to peak at higher elevations. It gets pretty spectacular here too.
We actually were near Asheville last year in the fall when we attempted to visit GSMNP! We love Asheville!
@@AdventuresofAplusK me too!
That place is gorgeous
Welcome back anytime to my beloved home. I'm so happy my ho.e state filled your hearts like it does mine every day I live here. Thanks again for sharing your live for my home.
Thank you so much Kevin for the welcome! We really loved it there 🥰

Just has a different feel than back here in Minnesota. As always, love the Kona slow mos...when can we strap the GoPro on her and get a Kona spin off channel????
We loved that they had some green trees too! Seeing a variety of colors was so pretty! Someone compared it to skittles haha. And we need a Kona cam!
I used to teach at Holland Elementary. After three days of standardized testing the whole school would hike Pisgah. Lunch at the top. Beautiful memories. So blessed to live in the kingdom. Glad you enjoyed your visit.
That is such an awesome celebration!

I have to say I don’t know how you ALL climbed those steep stairs to the lookout…wowza! I loved the really long stick that Konie was carrying around…she is just too dang cute❣️ Great video❣️
The stairs were intense! A bit scary with wind and how exposed they were! But super worth it for those colors!
You sure did get a great view from up there!
Bravo! I have never even thought about visiting Vermont.....after watching your VLOGS its a must do! WOW
It is a crazy beautiful state! We loved it so much and are so glad you now would like to visit!
Living in the PNW I didn’t think anything could be more beautiful from where I am until these videos were released. I am in planning mode for a Vermont/New Hampshirite visit next fall. As always, love the video editing.
We totally feel you! The PNW has our hearts, but New England WOWed us big time!
The colors of the water and trees...beautiful!!!! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching! So glad you enjoyed the scenery!
Wow, there is a Mt Pisgah along the blue ridge parkway in North Carolina as well! Who knew there were two?! 🏔 ⛰
It made researching very confusing haha!
By looking at the fall color change it becomes apparent that there is a fair amount of time between your adventures and when you post the videos. I enjoy everything that you post.

Such amazing views and fall colors. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! Happy we could finally show some views and colors!
Thanks for giving Vermont some RUclips love. We love living here. Wouldn’t trade for any other state.
We loved it there so much! So happy to hear you love living there, it seems like an incredible place to call home ❤️
Home Sweet Home. Thanks for capturing it so beautifully
Thank you for watching Chelsea!
Thanks for visiting our amazing state! It really is a WONDERFUL place to live!
We are so happy to hear you enjoy living there! We loved visiting!

Absolutely beautiful shots captured in this video. And the Kona outtakes were great!!
So glad you enjoyed the views! It was one of the most gorgeous days in New England!
O so beautiful I’m vicariously hiking through you both so stay well & safe!❤️💗
We’re glad to have you hike with us!
You got some beautiful views there, amazing lake country too! Happy for you that you did get a break in the cloud cover! Great video!
We were very glad after the last adventure!
Looked amazing! The colors and the view overall were amazing, but the fire-tower was incredible! Can't wait to see the whites.... they're reputation is fantastic!
The fire tower was SO awesome! Worth those steps! We loved the White Mountains so much!
Just WOW. You've really inspired me to travel to that part of Vermont. Thank you for sharing!!!
Woo! That's all we could hope for!
You know it’s truly the best day when you haven’t had ice cream and it’s still the best day 😂😂 but actually, this hike was so stunning, holy cow. Thank you for sharing as always, can’t wait to see what’s next 🤩
Hahahah epic views may beat ice cream for us!
I grew up in Vermont's NEK. I love seeing it through the eyes of folks seeing it for the first time! Great video!
Thank you. I do like the scenery detail/ food/ etc and the good/not so good about travelling with a dog. 🇬🇧
Thank you for watching! Traveling with a pup definitely has its challenges at times.
Absolutrly in awe! How beautiful!
It was breathtaking! 😍😍
So Beautiful and Kona seems to enjoy the hikes
She loves them! Helps get her insane energy out!
So beautiful!
Pretty awesome to get a comment from a channel we love! Y’all’s videos + Levi’s channel are both amazing 🙌🏼
Oh wow!! That fire tower view was incredible!! Fall color wonderland. I loved these Vermont videos !! I cannot wait until New Hampshire .🤩❣🤩
We are so glad you enjoyed the Vermont videos! Excited to share NH and Maine!
Great shots of the fall colors! Can't wait to visit the northeast in fall.
It’s a must visit!
My home town. So glad you enjoyed your visit! Great video.
Thanks Kalli! We loved it there so much!
Another great video and thanks for sharing. I don't live too far away from Vermont, so will have to keep on my future bucket list the places you hiked. You always do a great job with the producing of your videos, like you are telling a story, with cuts to the trail, then the leaves, you both have a talent for describing over video everything you are seeing.
Thank you so much Ron! We really appreciate the kind words. Making these videos has been an ongoing learning experience for us and we're glad you enjoy them!
Just beautiful! Two kids living their dream before they get old and worn out. Great video! Would have been cool to have a hang-glider and just stepped off the edge of that overlook. Yee-Haa!! What a ride.
Definitely living the dream! We are beyond thankful! And it would’ve been cool to see a hand glider!
Beautiful colors... Wow...
Jake and Vernice Minnesota
We are so happy to finally see some!
Great videos, guys, Love Vermont and your videos make it all come alive.
Thanks a bunch Richard!
What a beautiful video! I am assuming you will see a lot more beautiful spots in the New England States!! Thanks for sharing! What a nice relaxing video for us ! 😊
We have many more beautiful spots to share! We can't wait!
I’m so impressed with Vermont. I may have to go some time. Thanks for sharing!
Go go go! It’s amazing!
Yay. I can’t wait to see what stops you make in my home state of NH! We still take annual trips home to NH from GA every year. Have fun guys.
We LOVED NH! Can't wait to share what we got up to next week!
Great video! Love Lake Willoughby, I first went there when I was 4 back in the 70’s my grandparents had a camper at the white caps. So many gray hikes! Bald MT was always my favorite as it’s the highest elevation and the fire tower is so cool! Love VT! ❤
We had a blast out there! It's one of our favorite states!
Just discovered your channel while doing research for a trip to South Dakota next year. I really enjoy your videos and made changes to our itinerary based on your travels. Love your enthusiasm - you clearly find the joy in the journey!
Thank you so much for watching Ellen! So glad they could help you with your trip!
Enjoyed this video and the gorgeous scenery. Also enjoyed your dog's perspective.
We're so glad you enjoyed it!
As always, I just want to go everywhere… and you guys need a merchandise tee shirt that says, “ Heck Yeah! “😊
That would be a fun one!
The colors just keep getting better and better! How beautiful and how lucky you are to be there at this time of the year! Loved Kona with his sticks! lol My fear of heights would have kept be from going to the top of the fire lookout but what beautiful views! Thanks again!
The steps up to it were a bit exposed, which made it a bit scary! And the wind didn't help either! We are very thankful we got to explore part of New England in the fall. It lived up to the hype!
Very nice! I just love the Fall colors! I've never been to Vermont but after seeing your video I'd love to go there one day. Thanks and have fun!
That makes us happy to know you’d want to visit Vermont now!
You both do such a great job on your videos…thanks for bringing it!!
Thank you so much Michael! We are so glad you enjoy them!
Um WOW!!! This was insane!!! Oh my word guys, I was exclaiming and smiling the whole time over these views!!!
The colors.....so freaking gorgeous!!!! Amazing camera work as well...that last drone shot heading into the sunset was absolutely magnificent!!!! All of your vlogs are great and I think this is one of my favorites ever! WOW!!! Thanks so much for sharing...I'm feeling so inspired right now! #americasfavoritetravelingcouple
SO happy you loved this one Brad! It was one of our favorites ever, especially Adam's drone shots! 😍
That fall foliage looks glorious. The scenery reminds me of Acadia National Park, but inland - probably because of similar glacial carving. I'm glad you guys had better weather for these hikes.
It definitely has some similarities! We LOVED Acadia as well!
Beautiful! I grew up in the Northeast Kingdom, so glad to see others enjoying its beauty. Next time rent some bikes and hit up the Kingdom Trails!
Such an epic area to grow up! We really need to find a way to get our own bikes, we have loved getting to explore via bike lately!
We enjoyed the Lake Willoughby area, too. Soooo beautiful. Too bad we never crossed paths after all these years.
It’s wild how many of the same trips we have been on!
I’m so excited for y’all & your spectacular day in VT! Finally New England paid off!! It was breathtaking just watching ur Vlog - can only imagine in person!! Will definitely be making a return trip to their & following in ur footsteps!
We loved the White Mnts; of NH, looking forward to see what y’all get in to!!
It was even better in person! And we loved the white mountains so much! Can’t wait to share it!
Wow! Those colors are unreal. So beautiful.
We are so happy to finally see some colors!
Beautiful area, isn't it. My little 20 acre homestead in East Charleston is 5 miles due east from that fire tower you climbed. I wake every morning to these beautiful vistas here in the NEK.

It’s a very beautiful area and you’re lucky to have it as your backyard!
Great video! So glad the colors are peaking at the right time for you. I have always said, these New England hiking trails are basically, straight up. Its that Puritan work ethic thing...just get it done!
We had no idea how hard these trails would be! The east doesn’t believe in switchbacks like the west does 😂
Fabulous views and fall colors. 😊
Glad you enjoyed those views too! 🙌🏼
So beautiful
Love Kona and her big stick 🤣🤣🤣
Hahahah she loves sticks that are bigger than her!
Mushrooms in video are the same as in nothern Eurasia. They are edible and very tasty. Love them.
Cool!
I love how fjordlike Lake Willoughby looks
Wow! The view from the fire tower was unbelievable! (I'm not especially afraid of heights but the fire tower also looks very nerve wracking!) That squirrel at the end was making some weird noises.
Those exposed stairs were definitely a bit scary in the wind! We still have no idea what that squirrel was doing, but Kona really wanted it haha
Awesome video! Always enjoy your videos but this one just hit all the right notes for me. The flow of it, cinematography, and music was all spot on. So glad you could fly the drone here. Those shots were spectacular, especially with that little bit of fog.

Such a gorgeous area!
There was a mural of Lake Willoughby at the Grange in West Dummerston, Vt. The whole Northeast Kingdom is such a majestic mysterious place. I hope to go back to someday.
We hope we can too! We loved it!
So, you hiked so far that Kona needed a hiking staff, huh?? *grin*
Thank you for all the fall colors of Vermont. Can't wait to see what New Hampshire looks like. Until next time.... Travel Safe.
Hahaha she sure did! New Hampshire was gorgeous and we cannot wait to share!
I found your channel, when looking for VT videos and WOW! Your editing and content is superb and you both are so cute! Plus, hands down THE best VT footage I’ve seen on RUclips! ❤️
Thank you so much, we super appreciate it!
I'm glad the leaves started really turning while you guys were there and you actually got some views this time! Kona makes a great Branch Manager lol.
Us too! And she definitely does make a good one!
Beautiful views from that fire tower. It's hard to imagine how many square miles of wilderness you could see from up there. On your way back to Texas you'll need to swing by Mt. Sunflower in Kansas and knock off another high point. (In spite of the name it is one of the easiest.)
Love that name! We won't be going through Kansas this time, but still need to make it to Kansas and explore a bit!
We watched this video last year and enjoyed it then. Rewatched it this time as we visited the area and decided to hike Pisgah Mt instead of the trail across the lake. Glad we followed your lead. Views are great even in August. Thanks for sharing this video.
That was one of our favorite hikes in all of New England! We're glad you enjoyed it too! Thanks for watching!
Great video! My wife and I just moved to the NEK and we didn't even know about the towers yet! Next on the list!
It’s such a great hike! Steeper at the end, but not too long, and that fire tower was so cool!
Ammaaaaazzziiinnnngg! Now I want to GO!!
Go go go! It's so gorgeous out there!
You guys are so cute!!! I love your videos! Thanks for making them!
Thank you so much for watching them! ❤️
Stunning area!
We really loved it out there!
Wow!
Wow! Those views & all the fall colors…simply splendid! 🧡Great seeing Kona finding her own joy on the trail as well! 🐶To me, your videos have been a beautiful love letter to Vermont which I thoroughly enjoyed! ❤️
We are so glad you have enjoyed them! And Kona loves her a good stick! It doesn't take too much to make her happy haha
Tower was awesome.
It was such a cool spot to hike to! And those views!
@@AdventuresofAplusK Is Adam Tejano? I sometimes detect a slight Hispanic accent. Or did we Tejanos just rub off of him lol
He is not! But he taught at an international school for years in Austin and loves the Hispanic culture, food, and language!
In the winter, the state forest land is great for snowshoeing, or x-skiing ,yes even up to the top! Seasonal ice climbing on those cliffs. And that south beach you were at, just past that outcrop of rock to your left, is the clothing optional beach.
That would be so fun to try those winter activities!
1:34 OMG, what a view!
I loved this video...and I am actually moving there next week, thanks for the timely video, I can't wait to be there...currently living in Palm Springs CA....what a change eh?, thanks for the great video and inspiration!
Congrats on your move! That’s a big change, but it’s so beautiful there and we hope you love living there!
@@AdventuresofAplusK thanks...I am from NY and have been here in CA for 10 years to care for my parents who have passed on, I have been planning this move for some time....your video gave me an extra boost w/ all the packing & moving effort....it's important to remember where and why you are moving to a new place. Thanks again and keep up the great video tours!
Amazing footage! Thanks!! I've been to VT once and love being there!
We met you at the start of the Bald Mtn. trail
Not surprised you fell in love with our special part of the World
It’s truly magical up there! 😍
I’m trying to make it my life goal and dream to move to Vermont/New England. I have a long history in my family tree of New England heritage background and I’m trying to make my way back to New England.
Seems so beautiful and peaceful and nice :)
It is very nice up there! We hope you can get there!
They run quite a few open water swim events in various lakes in the area. One is the entire lengthy of Lake Willoughby, 5 miles, great swim!
Oh wow! We wish we could swim that far!
