This week on St. Johnsbury Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram’s Outdoor Edge, we’ve got a conversation that stretches from the Northeast Kingdom all the way to the far ends of the Earth.

Gary Moore sits down with three North Country adventurers—Dr. Joyce Dobbertin of St. Johnsbury and Patty Emery and Larissa Flynn of Lyndon—to talk about their recent trip to Antarctica, along with other incredible hiking and travel experiences from around the world. It’s a reminder that even from small-town Vermont, big adventures are always within reach.


We also check in on a tradition much closer to home with our Sugaring Report, featuring a conversation with Mark Isselhardt, UVM Extension Maple Specialist, on how this year’s maple season is shaping up and what producers are watching for as the sap begins to run.
