We started our family and friends visits with a stop at Virginia Tech to see our niece Emmalyn. The drive was very pretty with everything so green and the red buds in bloom. It was nice to see her and her family. She took us on a quick tour of the campus. Virginia Tech is a beautiful campus. Only wish…
Yesterday we said goodbye to Maine and headed south. We really enjoyed all of our adventures in Maine and I really enjoyed the hospitals and people I worked with this go around. I met lots of other travelers this time, and who knows, maybe we will end up at the same place again somewhere else. Maine must have done something…
Well, we are down to our last 4 days in Maine. We made the most of our last weekend here and some great weather and got out and saw a few new places and revisited a couple. Thursday night we went for a post sunset walk to Portland Head Light. It was neat to be able to see the lighthouse…
Spring has sprung! Flowers are blooming and the temperatures are getting into the 50’s. The other night we walked to Willard Beach and because the tide was so low, we continued on to Spring Point Lighthouse. Here are a few pictures. I guess in Maine the saying goes April SNOW showers bring May flowers. Monday while at work it began…
Today, we took advantage of the beautiful day by driving to Vermont to check out the Quechee Gorge (Grand Canyon of Vermont). We weren’t quite able to get the picture that they always show of the bridge but we did have a nice walk. We had to go back to the car to get our micro spikes once we realized…
Our long weekend comes to an end today. Sadly, it ended without a moose sighting. We returned our rental car first thing this morning and then went for a scenic ride to Rangeley, Maine. I had read about a very beautiful scenic overlook. We got there only to find that they did not plow the overlook. Lucky for us there…
Today we continued our adventures into a different part of Maine, still with hopes of seeing a moose. The day was beautiful and on our way our, we finally got a good view of Mt. Katahdin, the highest mountain in Maine. A picture from our drive. There were some very scenic spots. Unfortunately, pictures don’t do it justice. We headed…
Today, we continued exploring the area. Our first stop was to Penobscot River Trails to go snowshoeing. It was such a nice facility. They have all the equipment available for you to use and there are lots of different trails. The lady at the office got us set up with some snowshoes and we set off on one of the…
Today we set off on our long weekend adventure. We are planning on doing some exploring in the northern middle part of Maine. The biggest goal for the weekend is to see a moose!! We did some research and found which areas of the state we are more likely to achieve our goal. Some parts of our trip may be…
Saturday we did some Island hopping aboard the mailboat ferry. We were able to catch a ride on the ferry that delivers people, food, and supplies to some of the islands in the Casco Bay. It was a beautiful day except for the wind. It was a very enjoyable ride but I was thankful for my fleece lined pants and…
