Vermont game warden is faced with getting a bear out of an attic.
Home invasions by bears are way up in Vermont, but as Warden Jeremy Schmid explains it’s our own fault for failing to secure food sources
Have you ever looked up from your desk and realized there’s a whole realm of nature just waiting for you to journey into it?
Well, Islands, a travel publication that started in 1981, says this spot in Vermont is the perfect retreat from the mundane and ordinary.
Remember though, this town is not for those who are wary of more than a little forest, as over half of the town is covered in trees.
“However, those who decide to make a pit stop there will be treated to a delightfully quirky municipality engulfed in an artsy spirit that’s home to attractions you won’t find anywhere else and some of the most picturesque ponds you’ll ever see,” Islands said.
And for that, they recommend heading to Glover.
Glover — ‘idyllic’ place with a ‘wildly imaginative heart’
Islands named Glover one of the best places to stay if you’re looking for a peculiar but captivating adventure from the tedium of the working world.
What Islands said about it: “Parker Pond, also known as Lake Parker (there seems to be a fair amount of overlap between “pond” and “lake” in Vermont), is another slice of heaven on Earth in Glover. It’s not as popular as some of the other destinations in the area, so you’re more likely to have an uninterrupted day with Mother Nature. There’s a nice variety of fish to be caught in this pond, and with a boat launch, it’s an ideal place to get some quality fishing done.”
For the best strange attraction in Glover, Islands said that the Museum of Everyday Life asks its guests to examine their relationship with the objects they constantly use.
“Nurse and puppeteer Clare Dolan is the founder and curator of the Museum of Everyday Life, and she told the New York Times that, ‘We need to celebrate what is mundane and ordinary but beautiful,'” Islands said. Admission is free, but just make sure you turn the light on before you enter, and remember to turn it off when you leave.”
You can find the Museum of Everyday Life at 3482 Dry Pond Rd.
