I love that lake ! Worked on a dairy farm on north side of the lake when I was young in the 1970’s .. I feel that it’s the most beautiful spot on earth … god bless the good people of Westmore Vt.!

My brother Bob lived in Barton after he retired from the Airforce, until he passed away a few years ago.

I would Love to visit Vermont it looks So Lush and Green 😍😍😍

Thanks! Yes it was pretty wild to see it again even if it was completely dead due to summer.

Lake Willoughby, the gem of the NEK, our old vacation spot. Does St. Johnsbury still have that little drive in restaurant with the Gulf Coast fantail shrimp and whole clams by the pint or half pint ?

I’m not sure if St. J still has that place. Tbh I don’t recall it from when I was living there in the late 2000s. Perhaps it predates my time there.

Merci pour la visite de Vermont.

"The puken pig". Good job fellow Lyndon Grad. Greg Jannone '82 Meteorology. Wow The Fountain is gone!

Thanks Gregory! Yes it was strange to see the fountain gone. But the pig is still puking down in town so there’s that at least 🤣

The NEK isn't St J, it starts at the height of land in Sheffield and extends as far west as Lowell, Westfield, Troy and North Troy, it includes Orleans, Essex and a very small piece of Caledonia County.

Go NVU!!!

Great video about the NEK. One mistake tho: when you were walking along St. J Main Street around the 2:00 mark you were heading straight towards the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium. Then you showed the shops along Railroad Street. You went back up to Main Street at 2:50 but you showed the churches and were already passed the Museum, which is right across the street from the big gray church! A shame you missed it. That is definitely a gem of St J and the whole NEK. Later on at NVU-L (I also still remember it as LSC) you talk about their meteorology program, which is important for the area, but you didn't mention the Eye on the Sky weather station located at Fairbanks; the two senior meteorologists Mark Breen and Steve Maleski, two famous names in NEK and VT, both studied meteorology at LSC before becoming the weather voices on the radio. Great video tho and that foggy view from the south end of Willoughby Gap was spectacular and very "atmospheric".

Both my parents were born in Westmore.

Cool! Beautiful area.

How can you talk about St. Johnsbury without even mentioning the St.Johnsbuary Atheneum, the wonderful old library with its really extraordinary art collection for such a tiny town, including many examples of the famous Hudson Valley School? You seem to have a totally egocentric view of the whole area!!

Typical Willoughby Day!
