Gin Excellent video Lady! Yes, you need to change gears every now and then to empty your mind and get some much needed R+R. The Stowe are of Vermont is my skiing playground in the Winter as I am a full cert ski instructor and staff trainer there. I enjoy riding my motorcycles there and all over New England to empty my mind of everyday life. All of the places you mentioned are beautiful and must see if you are in the area! Peace Gin and many lucky shamrocks for you to keep for luck Lady! 🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀 🙌👏👏👏👏👏👏🤙🖖✌👌👍👋🙂
Carpe diem! When you get older like me, the days pass faster and faster. It is then very beneficial to take a good look around you and enjoy what nature has to offer us for free! Many people ignore this and pursue material things without ever being satisfied. Thank you for summarizing this so beautifully in your video! 🌷
I love this adventure. Escaping into the wilderness is always good for physical ...AND mental health for me. Thank you for sharing your experiences and adventure. Safe travels.
Fun peek at where you are. Taking a break from any regular task/job/hobby is always a good thing to do when needed. Thanks for taking us along. Cheers.
I enjoyed your travel Video. I was raised near Albany, NY and my family had a cabin in North Hero, VT. We visited the Trapp Lodge in 1966 but did not stay long. A place you might find interesting is the Shelburne Museum. Travel safely.
Hi Gin from the UK, That lodge looks a beautiful place to stay and the grounds great to see, I still find it hard to see people driving over there driving on the right side of the road, Thank you for the journey 👍👍🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸
Tks for taking us along! This was fun! I understand the need for nature. I start every day w/ a 5-mile walk on trails close to my home. That starts my day off on a positive note!
Very cool video! Lots of good views and cool things to see! My favorite part was the old chapel. I enjoy looking at the old buildings and just seeing how they were built. Very interesting! Enjoyed the video!
Thank you for the video, I am 6th generation Vermonter. My family owned the land in Ripton where the Robert Frost walkway is back in the 1800's. There is a sign with the original homestead still there to this day. Frost's cabin is on the farm just up the hill from the original farm house, my ancestors are buried in the cemetery next to the Frost walkway. I live 6 miles from the homestead now. I ride my Harley around Vermont every year enjoying all the natural beauty nature has to offer.
Really enjoyed this vlog Gin! Thank you for taking the time to make it and for sharing it with all of us. You're SO right when you talk about taking the time to "be in the moment" when you have a chance to get out and see something new and perhaps only once in your lifetime! In fact, I did a two week trip in October to the South Dakota Black Hills/Custer area. Talk about beautiful autumn colors!! I made my way north to Deadwood (woke to a snow squall one morning which I loved!) and eventually over to Wyoming to Devil's Tower to Bighorn National Forest, then south to Colorado. This was a first time for me to see this area in my life. Not only did I drive around, I hiked, biked, rented a four wheeler for a day for trail riding and did some mountain lake fishing (caught some of the nicest rainbow trout of my life!) but I made so many cherishable memories because I put the focus on my journey, rather than the destination. It looks like I need to put Vermont on my "list" of places to visit. I DO hope you got to do some MDing while there!🙂
Thanks for the tour of Vermont, Gin. I have never had the opportunity to visit. It's funny, any time I have or see a clumsy moment, I always say "The Matrix is glitching". Nice to get back to nature for sure 👍
I'm glad you enjoyed your visit to our lovely little state! Just FYI, the Robert Frost Trail is west of the Green Mountains, not in them. It's technically in the Taconic range. (And in spite of the signs, moose are far more common in the northeastern part of the state.)
Lot of great sage commentary with this video. I spent a fair amount of time in Brattleboro with work, but it was nothing like that you experienced. Thank you for the brief escape!
Beautiful Vlog, Gin, thanks for taking us along.. It is always good to take a break and clear the mind and strengthen the soul. Keep up the fun hunts, Thanks for sharing..
Thank you so much for taking us along! The trail, the lodge, the chapel are all amazing! Yes! I strongly agree that being at one with nature is absolutely soul cleansing! I get it! You shared "The Road Less Traveled" with us and it is indeed a great read! Here's another which I think you'll appreciate: TREES I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day, And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. Joyce Kilmer
It's been a pleasure to step outside of metal detecting with you. All work and no play and R&R can make for exhaustion of both mind and body. Things can 'go stale'.. Sometimes I've likened it to head-butting an oak tree: lovely when you stop. Only the very dull can fail to notice your commitment to the hobby, as well as the un-selfish ways you bring us with you. Enjoy it, the finds will still be resting where they fell. That's it Gin.
How could you ever wanna leave that place? And that field, think of all the relics, you could dig out of it! 😂 those clouds in the background, have winter written all over them. ..Great video!
Hi Gin. I’m so glad you were able to visit Vermont after treasure hunting across the lake in NY. This video gave us a glimpse into your ‘softer’ side. I really enjoyed that. I’ve heard so many nice things about the Von Trapp Family lodge and have always wanted to go and it’s only a couple hours away. I will take your advice and make the trip next year! Unlike you, I’m a northern guy but, like you, I dislike winter. Till next time 🤗
Wonderful video. I commend you for taking time for your mental and emotional well being and regeneration of energy. Thank you for sharing this slice of your journey with us. Have a wonderful week young lady.
Nature is a great medicine, what a different look from East Tennessee. Hope you have had a blessed day. Gods country is anywhere you are. Awesome video
Thank you. It was beautiful there. If I had to pick a Northeastern state to live in, I’m sure it would be Vermont. It was my favorite of all the ones I visited, hands down.
Thank you for the awesome and scenic video Gin! I saw you across the lake at Digstock but didn’t want to bother you. Now I am kicking myself! Hopefully another time! Keep up the great work!
I’m thrilled you got to Vermont! I spent quite a bit of time there hiking and camping over the years. It’s my favorite place. I agree, being outside in nature is where we are suppose to be, not in an office or factory under fluorescent lights. I hope you fell in love with this beautiful state and plan to return, so much more to see. If you have time, check out New Hampshire as well. Another beautiful state right next door. Thank you for sharing your video Gin, I haven’t been up north in quite some time so it did me good just see this video. I love your channel and hope you will return to New England soon (Spring, Summer or Fall; not winter 😊) god bless.
So much history in that area! My dad's side of the family is from the Albany area (Waterford - oldest incorporated village in the US). Too bad you didn't have a chance to visit Ft. Ticonderoga and Ft. William Henry (southern end of Lake George). I'm envious that you got to stay at the Von Trapp Lodge. I just visited the gift shop and got a souvenir sweatshirt. Keep on with the videos!
Beautiful scenery. I remember being in the area when I was younger. Thank you for bringing back some wonderful memories with my family that have passed on years ago.
Isn’t it funny how sometimes a sight or smell brings back long forgotten memories. I love it when that happens; feels like meeting up with an old friend. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by to share the journey with me.🍀
Hi Gin, loved this video... I can't believe we have so much in common. Keep up all your videos, it's a window to your life! Stay blessed and lookin forward to your next adventure... Joe
I enjoyed your Lovely video here Gin, it's very refreshing to be in the Great Outdoors at a special place! I was in another life a computer programmer and left all that behind me to get to those special places
Hi LG, good video thanks for sharing your story with us very cool you are right life is very short and precises everyone should enjoy the time they have. Added alike and share. Cheers and God bless.
Thanks for stopping by to join me for this one; I know it was a bit different than usual.🙂 I decided to start sharing some videos like this because I know there’s folks watching who aren’t able to travel anymore. It’s my hope these add a little sunshine for the watcher.
I knew this was going to be awesome!! I agree with you 100%, nature is reality. I always say it’s my therapist, my church, and my teacher. Great job, Gin ✌🏼❤️😊🍀
Its awesome that you're traveling and experiencing new places to detect. Great idea going to events. I hope you find some old history in the dirt up here in the North East. Ive found some great things here.
I was very optimistic about finding some cool relics in such an old part of the US, but alas, no dice this time. Maybe better luck will be with me on the next visit. Nevertheless, it was still a great experience getting to see that part of the world.🙂
I am new to the channel and really enjoy this great content. This is my favorite video! Sometimes you have to unplug from the matrix and get back to the basics. Great work!
That was fun. Thanks. That lodging looked great. You did a good job narrating too. My wife and I want to make it back to Vermont someday. My parents grew up in up state N.Y.
Hi Gin ! Loved this video ...and I know what you mean about connecting with nature ...hope you can make it to Michigan one day....many many very cool places like this
This is my home state! It can be beautiful, but it can also be terrible. All depends on what you decide to focus on, I guess. This video was great! You should definitely check out the Hubbard Tower in Barre/Montpelier the next time you're in the area! It's a great hike to a beautiful tower that you can go to the top of for a great vantage point! Happy travels!
Gin I promise we all liked this as much as any video u have done! Music was spot on and so was the tone of your voice, even when you were huffing and puffing,. Perfect little one.
Hi Gin so glad you took a few days to charge your internal battery to 100 percent.Papa Mark hopes you woke up and felt that energy inside you with a smile..Have a great week pretty Lady and always look forward to your next adventure..
Hey there LuckyGin🍀 good thing you hunted Daytona Beach when you did, because now thanks to 2 recent hurricanes Daytona Beach is washed out to sea. I always enjoy ALL of your video content .👱🤗💝 very informative and entertaining 🤗hugs from Tampa Bay Florida, USA. 11/15/2022
We are having a snow storm here since yesterday,we will send some down south as you look like you could use some snow lol ( I'm in northern Ontario Canada ) and enjoy your channel.
I loved it! I'm glad you shared it with us, I enjoyed it, I was I was really there with you. I've never been, it's on my to do list. It's so beautiful there. I hope to get there sooner rather than later. Thanks for a different type of video, didn't mind it at all. Take care.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Dawn. I was thinking that I go such cool places that I should try and do some bonus videos to share them. Maybe give people ideas of things to see when they visit that area. Also, just to share for my subscribers who aren’t able to travel anymore.🙂
It's still beautiful scenery, but you can just envision all of the colors from all the maple trees, that would of been present just a couple of weeks ago... Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video and experience with us all Gin... Stay safe, and keep warm😊🍀🌄🔥
Yes, I definitely wish I’d been there about 2 weeks sooner. Oh well, I’m sure for whatever reason I was meant to be there later. Maybe to tempt me to come back earlier next year.😂
It looks like that today in Louisiana....cold and overcast. I hate sunny weather but use solar power. LOL! My favorite days are cloudy and rainy ones. I love hiking in the woods when it`s cold and sprinkling rain.
Awesome video. As a Canadian just across the boarder. Vermont is one of my favourite states. The Von Trapp lodge is stunning. I hope the you were able to get over to Ben and Jerry’s, lol
Nice video. Been a Vermonter my whole life and have seen a lot of real nice places in this state. You mentioned metat detecting? I live in the northeast area and there are loads of old areas to metal detect. My wife and I have found an old copper mine location, a foundry where they processed the copper, and so much more. And I totally agree, Vermont is a beautiful place. Great place to escape
Thank you; I appreciate you popping by my video. You live in a beautiful part of the world. I’ll be looking forward to visiting again. Driving through, I saw so many old abandoned buildings that I would love to have metal detected around. Looks like there’s some amazing history there.🙂🍀
Fitting poem, Gin, written/published a century plus 7 years ago.... "...Two roads diverged in a wood, and I...took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. ....". ....Doesn't it summarize your (recent) life, Gin ? Previous careers/work was a bit "stoic", perhaps "confined"... Now...you've chosen the freedoms the outdoors and adventure offer a soul. Maybe I read bit too much into it,.... but I don't think so. I've LIVED that "outdoor freedom, and adventure", also. 'Would NEVER go back to the 9-to-5 behind a desk. Great adventure, great vid, always fun watching. All 5he best, Gin, from Florida....
You are 100% spot on my friend. I feel like I’ve lived more in the past year than my entire life. I’ve not completely escaped the desk (cage) yet, but making progress for sure. Funny things start to happen when you are no longer willing to trade freedom for money. I’m sure people assume I’m having a mid-life crisis, but the truth is, I woke up one day and decided to really live…..to not live a life of quiet desperation and go to the grave with my music still in me.
Hello Gin so good to see such beautiful part of your country your so right its always good to get away from everyday life thank you please take care stay safe❤
I live in Waterbury VT, thanks for making me thankful for my home. Love to backcountry ski at the Von Trapps. I also love traveling, this spring my wife and I drove out to Utah. Totally agree with trying to live in the moment. I may never see those places again. What I love is the dream of my next adventure, love exploring our great nation. Hope you liked Vermont. Oh ya this past Halloween was the nicest weather we have had in years for that holiday.
I absolutely loved Vermont and hope I’ll be able to visit again soon. I’m sure there’s so much more to see there - you have a lovely home state.🙂 I know just what you mean about the thrill of planning the next adventure. I spend much of the cold winter months planning and researching; gives you something to look forward to.🤩🍀
100% agree with you Gin. It great to "step away" from our computer screens, our phones and just switch off. Explore our local parts of our own community's either by a simple bush walk or just putting around home doing the gardening. There is more to life than work and electronics. Life is to short. G'day from me in Down under Australia.
Never knew Vermont looked so Europe-y. Seriously, minus the big lodges it could easily have been filmed in Norway or Sweden. And wise words about nature and the effect it has on us simple beings, I´m not sure we were meant to stray this far into civilization and technology. (And look at me, an idiot sitting watching a scenic nature clip on YT.. =) )
I often marvel at how removed most people are from nature. I doubt most could survive if they found themselves unexpectedly alone in the wild. Yet I am more comfortable alone in the wild than in a room full of people. I like to share the experiences here on TH-cam though because I know there are many who can’t go on these types of adventures due to health issues. Don’t feel bad for watching - you are just getting ideas for when you have a chance to go.😃🍀
I had to read the works of Robert Frost and Edgar Allen Poe for English Literature in High School. Never knew where Frost was from. Very nice part of the world up there.
Hello. Love your videos... While your up here in beautiful NewEngland you might want to check my beautiful state New Hampshire! The white mountains are spectacular!!! Dixville notch franconia and crawford notches. And if you choose to do so, check out the wild androscoggin river where gold is to be had and people panning all over. Dont forget the kangamagus too. We'de love to have you))))
Good to take a break from the grind....been there...done that for sure but pretty sure I saw Samuel Champlain holding a metal detector in that first shot. Enjoyed the tour. And agree with you about the Matrix. The world continually tries to pull our attention from God and His creation and sadly, many times, is successful.
Some may say this wasn't a treasure hunting video but I disagree! Gold, silver and objects from the past that are found are treasure but the real treasure is enjoying our beautiful country and world and in my opinion if you don't understand that to miss the point of life. We spend way to much time in the matrix as you call it and not enough time in nature. My favorite times of year is spring and fall but one thing about winter is when all the leaves are off the trees and undergrowth you can walk trails you walk the other three seasons and see thing you had no idea was there so don't count out winter for those long decompressing walks. I'm not as much into cold weather either but it's worth the discomfort. Besides you will never fully enjoy beautiful weather if you don't experience the less than optimal conditions. Thanks for the ride along Gin!
It’s very true what you say about experiencing the less than optimal to appreciate the exceptional. The. Yin and Yang of life; you need them both to fully appreciate either. I do enjoy winter walks in the freshly fallen snow, or when the waterfalls have frozen. I think we very much agree on the point of life and where the real treasures lie.🙂
Gin I knew some of the Von Trapp grandchildren. Some of their kids went to school with my son. I love Vermont but it’s was a tough life for me. I went to college in Middlebury after busting my knees and couldn’t work
Gin
Excellent video Lady! Yes, you need to change gears every now and then to empty your mind and get some much needed R+R. The Stowe are of Vermont is my skiing playground in the Winter as I am a full cert ski instructor and staff trainer there. I enjoy riding my motorcycles there and all over New England to empty my mind of everyday life. All of the places you mentioned are beautiful and must see if you are in the area!

Nature is so healing. Thanks for the great videos you provide. With content like this, I have very little use for cable TV anymore!

Love the detour and change of pace. Appreciate your willingness to share as post production takes much time and effort. Keep Freedom Alive
I’m so glad to hear it - thank you. You are 100% right about post production; my least favorite part for sure!
I enjoyed your travel Video. I was raised near Albany, NY and my family had a cabin in North Hero, VT. We visited the Trapp Lodge in 1966 but did not stay long. A place you might find interesting is the Shelburne Museum. Travel safely.
Thank you for the tip, Jim. I loved the area so much that I’m sure I’ll visit again. I’ve added your suggestion to my travel journal.🙂🍀
Great video. Being a Vermonter it's nice to see people enjoy what we enjoy everyday. Glad to call this home.
Hi Gin from the UK, That lodge looks a beautiful place to stay and the grounds great to see, I still find it hard to see people driving over there driving on the right side of the road, Thank you for the journey 👍👍🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸
WE all love hanging out with you, detecting or traveling around. MORE!!!!
Awww, thank you. I appreciate the encouragement.💖💖💖🍀
Thank you for posting this wonderful video. So very scenic. A very nice treat
Hi Gin!! Loved the video!! Yes, Vermont is really nice. A lot of waterfalls and a great place to hike. You picked a nice state to check out!!
Tks for taking us along! This was fun! I understand the need for nature. I start every day w/ a 5-mile walk on trails close to my home. That starts my day off on a positive note!
That would be a fantastic way to start the day. I hope to someday have a farm with enough land to start my days that way too.🙂

Thank you so much for taking us along! The trail, the lodge, the chapel are all amazing! Yes! I strongly agree that being at one with nature is absolutely soul cleansing! I get it! You shared "The Road Less Traveled" with us and it is indeed a great read! Here's another which I think you'll appreciate:
TREES
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
Joyce Kilmer
Thanks for stopping by to travel the path with me, and also for sharing the poem. She’s right - words really can’t ever do justice to nature.🙂
It's been a pleasure to step outside of metal detecting with you. All work and no play and R&R can make for exhaustion of both mind and body. Things can 'go stale'..

Thank you. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Maybe you and your wife can spend a day or two at the lodge when you go. The food there is fantastic.🙂
Thank you so much for showing this wonderful place America has such amazing vacation places that should be visited. I also love the new hair cut.
Hi Gin ! Loved this video ...and I know what you mean about connecting with nature ...hope you can make it to Michigan one day....many many very cool places like this
This is my home state! It can be beautiful, but it can also be terrible. All depends on what you decide to focus on, I guess. This video was great! You should definitely check out the Hubbard Tower in Barre/Montpelier the next time you're in the area! It's a great hike to a beautiful tower that you can go to the top of for a great vantage point! Happy travels!
Gin I promise we all liked this as much as any video u have done! Music was spot on and so was the tone of your voice, even when you were huffing and puffing,. Perfect little one.
Awww, thank you Bill. I’m so glad you liked it - you know I was nervous about this one.🙂
I know you were Gin but you did it. A star is born
Hi gin love watching you dig your treasure
Something different once in awhile would be nice Gin, 🥲 coffee and pastry. Enjoyed the vlog. 🤗❤️💙💜
You very well articulated the reason I got into Wildlife and Nature photography.
I can 100% see that. Not many things get you more immersed in nature than being out in it waiting for the perfect shot.
Hi Gin so glad you took a few days to charge your internal battery to 100 percent.Papa Mark hopes you woke up and felt that energy inside you with a smile..Have a great week pretty Lady and always look forward to your next adventure..
It was just what I needed, Papa Mark. I left there feeling so rejuvenated and ready for the next leg of the journey.🤗
Hey there LuckyGin🍀 good thing you hunted Daytona Beach when you did, because now thanks to 2 recent hurricanes Daytona Beach is washed out to sea. I always enjoy ALL of your video content .👱🤗💝 very informative and entertaining 🤗hugs from Tampa Bay Florida, USA. 11/15/2022
Wonderful video and Thanks for sharing.
We are having a snow storm here since yesterday,we will send some down south as you look like you could use some snow lol ( I'm in northern Ontario Canada ) and enjoy your channel.
Best treasure hunt yet!
It was definitely the treasure I needed at the moment. So glad you enjoyed it.🙂🍀
I loved it! I'm glad you shared it with us, I enjoyed it, I was I was really there with you. I've never been, it's on my to do list. It's so beautiful there. I hope to get there sooner rather than later. Thanks for a different type of video, didn't mind it at all. Take care.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, Dawn. I was thinking that I go such cool places that I should try and do some bonus videos to share them. Maybe give people ideas of things to see when they visit that area. Also, just to share for my subscribers who aren’t able to travel anymore.🙂
Great video. Sometimes it’s nice to just explore.
It's still beautiful scenery, but you can just envision all of the colors from all the maple trees, that would of been present just a couple of weeks ago... Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful video and experience with us all Gin... Stay safe, and keep warm😊🍀🌄🔥
Yes, I definitely wish I’d been there about 2 weeks sooner. Oh well, I’m sure for whatever reason I was meant to be there later. Maybe to tempt me to come back earlier next year.😂
It looks like that today in Louisiana....cold and overcast. I hate sunny weather but use solar power. LOL! My favorite days are cloudy and rainy ones. I love hiking in the woods when it`s cold and sprinkling rain.
I love hiking in the rain, but not the cold.🥶
Peaceful ❤
Awesome falls , Joel
Awesome video. As a Canadian just across the boarder. Vermont is one of my favourite states. The Von Trapp lodge is stunning. I hope the you were able to get over to Ben and Jerry’s, lol
VERY NICE WALK AND SOME HISTORY ON THE WAY , 🦅🦅🦅🦅
Nice video. Been a Vermonter my whole life and have seen a lot of real nice places in this state. You mentioned metat detecting? I live in the northeast area and there are loads of old areas to metal detect. My wife and I have found an old copper mine location, a foundry where they processed the copper, and so much more. And I totally agree, Vermont is a beautiful place. Great place to escape
Thank you; I appreciate you popping by my video. You live in a beautiful part of the world. I’ll be looking forward to visiting again. Driving through, I saw so many old abandoned buildings that I would love to have metal detected around. Looks like there’s some amazing history there.🙂🍀
@@LuckyGin yes, a lot of history. An abandoned town when they built the Moore Damn in Waterford.
Have fun, God bless.
Watching this the lyrics from John Denver go through my mind.... I've been alone on some forgotten highway, traveled by many remembered by few....
Fitting poem, Gin, written/published a century plus 7 years ago....
"...Two roads diverged in a wood, and I...took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference. ....".
....Doesn't it summarize your (recent) life, Gin ? Previous careers/work was a bit "stoic", perhaps "confined"... Now...you've chosen the freedoms the outdoors and adventure offer a soul. Maybe I read bit too much into it,.... but I don't think so. I've LIVED that "outdoor freedom, and adventure", also. 'Would NEVER go back to the 9-to-5 behind a desk.
Great adventure, great vid, always fun watching. All 5he best, Gin, from Florida....
You are 100% spot on my friend. I feel like I’ve lived more in the past year than my entire life. I’ve not completely escaped the desk (cage) yet, but making progress for sure. Funny things start to happen when you are no longer willing to trade freedom for money. I’m sure people assume I’m having a mid-life crisis, but the truth is, I woke up one day and decided to really live…..to not live a life of quiet desperation and go to the grave with my music still in me.
Hello Gin so good to see such beautiful part of your country your so right its always good to get away from everyday life thank you please take care stay safe❤
I Loved it, Thank you very much, great idea you had there! : )
It makes me smile to read this. Thanks you.💖💖💖
@@LuckyGin Glad I made you : )
I live in Waterbury VT, thanks for making me thankful for my home. Love to backcountry ski at the Von Trapps. I also love traveling, this spring my wife and I drove out to Utah. Totally agree with trying to live in the moment. I may never see those places again. What I love is the dream of my next adventure, love exploring our great nation. Hope you liked Vermont. Oh ya this past Halloween was the nicest weather we have had in years for that holiday.
I absolutely loved Vermont and hope I’ll be able to visit again soon. I’m sure there’s so much more to see there - you have a lovely home state.🙂 I know just what you mean about the thrill of planning the next adventure. I spend much of the cold winter months planning and researching; gives you something to look forward to.🤩🍀
Thanks for sharing!!!!!
100% agree with you Gin.
It great to "step away" from our computer screens, our phones and just
switch off. Explore our local parts of our own community's either by a
simple bush walk or just putting around home doing the gardening.
There is more to life than work and electronics. Life is to short.
G'day from me in Down under Australia.
I hope someday to come explore your part of the world, though I must admit, it seems like half the creatures there might be trying to do you in.😂🤣😂
Absolutely gorgeous, I love the little chapel
It was so cool, and learning the story made it even more special.🙂
@@LuckyGin Did you leave a prayer request in the little box?
Very well done 😊
Never knew Vermont looked so Europe-y. Seriously, minus the big lodges it could easily have been filmed in Norway or Sweden. And wise words about nature and the effect it has on us simple beings, I´m not sure we were meant to stray this far into civilization and technology. (And look at me, an idiot sitting watching a scenic nature clip on YT.. =) )
I often marvel at how removed most people are from nature. I doubt most could survive if they found themselves unexpectedly alone in the wild. Yet I am more comfortable alone in the wild than in a room full of people. I like to share the experiences here on TH-cam though because I know there are many who can’t go on these types of adventures due to health issues. Don’t feel bad for watching - you are just getting ideas for when you have a chance to go.😃🍀
I had to read the works of Robert Frost and Edgar Allen Poe for English Literature in High School. Never knew where Frost was from. Very nice part of the world up there.
Nature and you, both beautiful 😍
Hello. Love your videos...
While your up here in beautiful NewEngland you might want to check my beautiful state New Hampshire! The white mountains are spectacular!!! Dixville notch franconia and crawford notches. And if you choose to do so, check out the wild androscoggin river where gold is to be had and people panning all over. Dont forget the kangamagus too. We'de love to have you))))
I guess that is the nicething about vermont, you can get all the city you need while still being able to free your mind in nature
I was pleasantly surprised to see how much of Vermont was rural. Absolutely loved it. Thanks for stopping by my channel.🙂🍀
Good to take a break from the grind....been there...done that for sure but pretty sure I saw Samuel Champlain holding a metal detector in that first shot. Enjoyed the tour. And agree with you about the Matrix. The world continually tries to pull our attention from God and His creation and sadly, many times, is successful.
Some may say this wasn't a treasure hunting video but I disagree! Gold, silver and objects from the past that are found are treasure but the real treasure is enjoying our beautiful country and world and in my opinion if you don't understand that to miss the point of life. We spend way to much time in the matrix as you call it and not enough time in nature. My favorite times of year is spring and fall but one thing about winter is when all the leaves are off the trees and undergrowth you can walk trails you walk the other three seasons and see thing you had no idea was there so don't count out winter for those long decompressing walks. I'm not as much into cold weather either but it's worth the discomfort. Besides you will never fully enjoy beautiful weather if you don't experience the less than optimal conditions. Thanks for the ride along Gin!
It’s very true what you say about experiencing the less than optimal to appreciate the exceptional. The. Yin and Yang of life; you need them both to fully appreciate either. I do enjoy winter walks in the freshly fallen snow, or when the waterfalls have frozen. I think we very much agree on the point of life and where the real treasures lie.🙂
Thank you
Dinner looks great too.
It sure was! I adore German food.😍
Gin I knew some of the Von Trapp grandchildren. Some of their kids went to school with my son. I love Vermont but it’s was a tough life for me. I went to college in Middlebury after busting my knees and couldn’t work
I’m so sorry to hear that happened to you, David. I hope you are still able to get out some and enjoy nature and the beautiful surroundings.
Thank you ❤️it!!
You take all the time you need little Gin I will be right here when you come back
💖🥰💖
