Vermont is a magical kingdom: local shops, fresh maple syrup, clear blue skies, and crisp mountain air... Despite my aversion to the bleak midwinter, I would not say no to moving northward.
Recently, a trip that I planned fell through at the last minute. The weekend I had scheduled was going to be relaxing and meditative: it would have provided the space to get away and heal. But I had postponed finalizing certain details and at the last minute plans for my accommodations went awry.
Barnard, Vermont is a true summerland. From its lakeside beaches punctuated by campfire pits to the hiking trails that weave up over the crests of leaves of green, there are soul inspiring views in every direction.
