I live in Rut-Vegas(Rutland for the non-natives), which is about fifteen minutes away from Killington and Pico. It's the second-largest city behind Burlington(if you could call Rutland a city).

We usually canoe Otter Creek which runs through Proctor. I've never been all the way down to where it empties. Plus, Otter Creek doesn't have a wonderful bar like the one you speak of. Sometimes after tubing on Bomoseen I'd visit the Lakehouse restauraunt - they have amazing food and music. Drinks, I've heard, too, but I wouldn't know as I'm only eighteen. Have you ever been in my area before?
