Imagine paddling out on the water in your canoe and coming across a moose at eye level. That’s exactly what occurred to this New Hampshire man when a giant moose went wading into the river, standing in water up to its chest yet remaining almost as tall as the man in his little boat.

Vermont State

Grand Isle, VT

While the Green Mountains may embody the very name of Vermont — a portmanteau of the French words "vert" (green) and 'mont" (mountain) — they also obscure the coastal experiences in and around Lake Champlain, which forms the western border of the state. As the sixth largest lake in the United States, it often feels more like a sea, an impression underscored by its archipelago of islands. There are just over 70 islands in its waters, with the largest located in Grand Isle County, about a half-hour drive north of Burlington and a little over an hour from Montpelier, a city that will remind visitors of France. For much of the state's early history, these islands were the domain of farms and orchards, with tourism more focused on the mountainous ski villages on the mainland. Today, even more couples cross the sandbar to seek the summer side of Vermont.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
