It takes great courage to screen a drive in Vermont in the winter, rather than in the fall, but for those of us who have lived there, this is a mesmerizing journey. Thank you for this!
I Did Too Buddy And Lived In Mallet’s Bay For Many Years !!! It Was The Most Beautiful Place On Earth As Far As I’m Concerned !!! Never Lived In Grand Isle Though !!! I Miss It So Much !!! Thanks For Sharing Your Story And Bringing Back Those Wonderful Memories !!!
It's beautiful. But I've never understood, why on earth don't you bury your power lines? Do it once, and you'll never have to worry about them ever again.
The main reason why is the overwhelmingly high cost of installing underground power lines. Estimates place the cost of undergrounding power lines at roughly $750 per foot, compared with $70 per foot to install power lines on poles. Economics 101. PS. Take a Chill Pill. You're too high strung, no pun intended.
@@ChatGPT1111 If you just bury them when you're putting in the road, it's not that much more work. Then, you never have to worry about it ever again. Or, you can try to save a little money at the outset, and keep constantly repairing them, over and over again, costing more in the long run. Yeah, that sounds smart.😏
@@mtntime1 Except government road and commercial utility electrical projects are not planned and funded at the same time. Here in Florida, commercial builders of comparatively high density subdivisions use underground utilities as an asthetic selling point and have since the 1970's. My last 6 homes were in such communities. Vermont is far more rural with far less financial resources to coordinate and fund such projects. Vermont, as we have seen in the past two years is prone to flooding, which is an absolute nightmare for underground utilities.
Très bel état que le Vermont la forêt partout les petites routes les montagnes abruptes sans altitude très élevées et les autres états de la Nouvelle Angleterre aussi
It rains and snows a good amount, over the years less and snow and more rain though. It’s sad, but true. Northern Vermont gets more snow though in the mountains, especially. It’s not Colorado with a ton of blue skies all the time, the dreariness adds to the ambiance though .
Nice video. Went to UVM. Rented a cottage out in Starksboro. Brought backs lots of memories. 😊😊😊😊😊
We are going to be retiring to Vermont in 2 years (hopefully!) I can't wait to get to where winter is actually a thing! Thank you for this video!

I used to live in Burlington, Richmond, Grand Isle, and Colchester - this is a wonderful trip down memory lane (snow tires recommended)!

Perfect tourism video for Vermont!
Make sure to show the whits salt caked on the car after the drive!!!!!
Thank you so much. I traveled these roads for most of my life. I've been gone for 15 years now and it felt like I was home again.
You’re welcome! Glad I could bring back some good old memories for you 😀
I do that stretch on Spear St going to work every day, turning off at 11:29, just before the Horse Farm.
Very good job boys.Do alot more like this video .
Very beautiful! Remind me of West Virginia 💜
Now I know why I live in Monmouth !

@@Mercurefamilyvlogs That makes no sense. So you'd rather keep fixing them? WTF?

sont magnifiques en plus c est une région discrète
Dès que l on sort de Burlington qui est la plus grande ville pourtant on se trouve en pleine nature
How often is it overcast like that & how often does it snow?

👍Good, interesting video One wish: Don't make long videos. More people will watch the 10-15 minute video!
This is a commercial video. Not all its cracked up to be.
