Waitsfield is a small town in Vermont, with LOTS of restaurants, local artists, and a ski area. It’s on RT 100 which was awarded the most scenic route in the United States just a few years ago.
Notable spots to eat are Blue Stone and The Mad Taco. There are other places of note in the video.
The Mad River Glen pass is breathtaking and certainly worth the drive, and you go right by the ski resort while driving over it. This is one of MANY beautiful places worth visiting in Vermont.

Vermont's MAIN STREET MUSEUM provides quirky diversion - WildTravelsTV.com
The mission of the Main Street Museum in Vermont is to provide a showcase for its offbeat stockpile of curiosities. It takes pride in collecting things that other museums pass up. In this segment during season two of WILD TRAVELS, we stop in this museum, formerly home to the White River Junction, VT, fire station.
WILD TRAVELS is a travel series celebrating the uniqueness of America in its unusual, eccentric, and downright quirky people, places and events.

Creative Placemaking in a Rural Context
ArtPlace America, a collaboration of leading national and regional foundations, banks, and federal agencies, was founded to accelerate creative placemaking—that is, putting art at the heart of a portfolio of strategies to revitalize communities in ways nothing else quite can. Commonly associated with urban areas—every neighborhood on their America's Top 12 ArtPlaces is located in a city—the work being done in small towns and rural areas is often overshadowed. Please join Jamie Bennett, executive director of ArtPlace America, in conversation with alumna Judy Grunberg '55, founder of PS21 in Chatham, New York; Matthew Perry, cofounder of Vermont Arts Exchange; and faculty member Dina Janis, artistic director/executive director of the Dorset Theatre Festival.

SUMMARY
=======
Vermont ( (listen)) is a state in the New England region of the Northeastern United States. It borders the U.S. states of Massachusetts to the south, New Hampshire to the east, New York to the west, and the Canadian province of Quebec to the north. Vermont is the second-smallest by population and the sixth-smallest by area of the 50 U.S. states. The state capital is Montpelier, the least populous state capital in the United States. The most populous city, Burlington, is the least populous city to be the most populous city in a state. As of 2015, Vermont was the leading producer of maple syrup in the United States. It was ranked as the safest state in the country in 2016.For thousands of years indigenous peoples, including the Mohawk and the Algonquian-speaking Abenaki, occupied much of the territory that is now Vermont and was later claimed by France's colony of New France. France ceded the territory to Great Britain after being defeated in 1763 in the Seven Years' War. Thereafter, the nearby colonies, especially the provinces of New Hampshire and New York, disputed the extent of the area called the New Hampshire Grants to the west of the Connecticut River, encompassing present-day Vermont. The provincial government of New York sold land grants to settlers in the region, which conflicted with earlier grants from the government of New Hampshire. The Green Mountain Boys militia protected the interests of the established New Hampshire land grant settlers against the newly arrived settlers with land titles granted by New York.
Ultimately, a group of settlers with New Hampshire land grant titles established the Vermont Republic in 1777 as an independent state during the American Revolutionary War. The Vermont Republic partially abolished slavery before any of the other states. Vermont then became the fourteenth state to be admitted to the newly established United States in 1791. Vermont ...

GCWT: A VISIT TO WILSON'S HOUSE ON 08/02/15
We visited the house of our brother Wilson Fernandes as two of our sisters Magrette D'cruz and Maria Fernandes had sent some financial help for the operation of Wilson's skull. What was special on this visit that we had gone to hand over the information of the money transfer and got to witness a mother in action as she gave her son physio therapy which she does twice a day to keep his joints moving, which is a back breaker. We thank our sisters Magrette D'cruz and Maria Fernandes for their generous contribution towards helping of another human being. May God Bless them and their families with the power of the holy spirit. We will be keeping all our concerned citizens posted on the progress of wilson's Operation along with the plan of action. God Bless. Jai Hind. Michael Ferns

King Crimson
King Crimson are a progressive rock band. Formed in London in 1968 (but featuring a transatlantic line-up since 1981), the band are widely recognised as a foundational progressive rock group (although the group members resist the label). The band have incorporated diverse influences and approaches during their five-decade history (including jazz and folk music, classical and experimental music, psychedelic rock, hard rock and heavy metal, new wave, gamelan, electronica and drum and bass) as well as balancing highly structured compositions against abstract improvisational sections and an interest in pop songs. The band has a large following, despite garnering little radio or music video airplay.
With guitarist Robert Fripp (considered to be the band's leader and motive force) as the only consistent member, King Crimson's line-up has persistently altered throughout its existence. Eighteen musicians and three lyricists have passed through the ranks, although the tenure of certain members has sometimes extended for decades. King Crimson's sound has varied according to its instrumentation - earlier line-ups featured prominent saxophone and keyboards, while subsequent line-ups replaced this with (variously) violin, innovative acoustic or electronic percussion, interlocking guitars or touch-style instruments. The band are notable for continuous engagement with contemporary music technology - in addition to Fripp's extensive work in loop music both in and out of the band, King Crimson pioneered the use of Mellotrons in 1968; Roland guitar synthesizers, Simmons electronic drums and the Chapman Stick in the 1980s; dense MIDI processing and the Warr Guitar in the 1990s, and Roland V-Drums in the 21st century. King Crimson's existence has been characterised by regular periods of hiatus (each of which have been initiated and concluded by Fripp). From 1997 until the present day, various subdivisions of King Crimson have continued to pursue aspects of the band's work and approaches via a series of related bands collectively referred to as ProjeKCts.

Ultimately, a group of settlers with New Hampshire land grant titles established the Vermont Republic in 1777 as an independent state during the American Revolutionary War. The Vermont Republic partially abolished slavery before any of the other states. Vermont then became the fourteenth state to be admitted to the newly established United States in 1791. Vermont is one of only four U.S. states that were previously sovereign states (along with California, Hawaii, and Texas), given that the original 13 states were formerly colonies. During the mid 19th century, Vermont was a strong source of abolitionist sentiment and sent a significant contingent of soldiers to participate in the American Civil War.
The geography of the state is marked by the Green Mountains, which run north-south up the middle of the state, separating Lake Champlain and other valley terrain on the west from the Connecticut River valley that defines much of its eastern border. A majority of its terrain is forested with hardwoods and conifers. A majority of its open land is in agriculture. The state's climate is characterized by warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. Its largest city, Burlington, had fewer than 50,000 residents, as of 2010. Demographically, the state was 94.3% white, as of 2010. At that time, Protestants (30%) and Catholics (22%) made up the majority of those reporting a religious preference with 37% reporting no religion. Other religions individually contributed no more than 2% to the total.
Vermont's economic activity of $26 billion in 2010 caused it to rank 34th in gross state product. It has been ranked 42nd as a state in which to do business. Politically, Vermont transitioned from being a reliably Republican state to one more liberal starting in 1960. It alternates between Republican and Democratic governors, but has sent only Democrats (or independents) to Congress since 2007. Voters have consistently chosen Democrats for president since 1992. The state became the first to recognize unions for same-sex couples through legislative action with the introduction of civil unions in 2000.
