Late March really isn't the ideal time of the year for a rowboat in this northern Vermont pond, Jeff.

No, no, I get that it's not. I mean, the pond was ice over until just recently.

It's cold and windy up here today, and it's not a place where you want to fall in either.

Yeah, I get it. You go hypothermic pretty quick in this cold water.

Yeah, you would. So, officially, the name of this body of water is Fairfield Pond. Which makes sense because we're in Fairfield, Vermont, just a bit south of the Canadian border. Right. But unofficially, it's been called Dream Pond, or Dream Lake, depending on who you ask. I mean, I guess it's kind of dreamy odd here, or maybe it is in the

summer? Yeah, well, it's called Dream Pond, not so much because of the way it looks, but because

they say a local woman once had a dream that led to a shocking discovery by the side of the pond

that solved a murder.
