Hiking Ship Harbor Trail in Acadia National Park

November 7, 2019

Maine Rocky Coast at Ship Harbor Trail

For the final part of our Acadia adventure, Laura and I hiked the Ship Harbor Trail down near Bass Harbor in Acadia. I hadn’t planned on doing any hiking until the morning of. Before we left, I browsed Google Maps for some addresses to put into the GPS when I noticed a short hike of […]

Visiting Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse in Acadia National Park

November 6, 2019

Bass Harbor Head Lighthouse

Have you ever seen a photo of a lighthouse in Maine? I’m sure you have. They’re used for calendars and postcards and can be found pretty much everywhere you look. The next time you see one of these photos, take a gander at which particular lighthouse is in the image. It’s most likely the Bass […]

Visiting the Somesville Bridge on Mount Desert Island, Maine

November 5, 2019

Somesville Bridge - Mount Desert Island, Maine

Yesterday was a huge day for us. We spent almost the entirety of it on Mount Desert Island and in Acadia National Park. I’ll say this quickly just to get it off my chest. Acadia is a magical place. It should be one of the seven natural wonders of the world. As I was standing […]

My Road is Finished – Until Next Year

November 3, 2019

Dirt Road in Woods

I’ve had a pile of about three yards of stone dust (sand) staring at me ever since the last time I dug into it. That’s got to be a few weeks by this point. I haven’t been too eager to transport it to the area of the woods it was intended for because I’m not […]

The Day Before Halloween in Farmington

October 31, 2019

Headstones at Farmington Cemetery

Yesterday was almost as perfect a day as they come. While it was cloudy in the morning, the clouds cleared and the skies were blue for the remainder. The night before, Laura and I decided to head down to the used book store to see if they were selling anything on our lists. I can’t […]

Hiking French’s Mountain Trail in Rome, Maine

View of Long Pond From Mountain in Rome, Maine

I’ve had this hike on my list for some time now. Every time Laura and I drive through the Belgrade Lakes region, we get excited and want to spend more time there. It’s such a cute little area and it appears to offer a lot in the way of outdoor activities. The last time we […]

To Sweden, Maine, North Conway & Bretton Woods, New Hampshire

Omni Mount Washington Resort Mountains

This past Sunday, Laura and I took a long drive through the hills of western Maine and into the Mountains of New Hampshire. I knew the drive would be long as I planned it that way. Due to the autumn weather being rainy, then sunny and then rainy again, we only had the day to […]

Bolting Square Tubing to an Existing Trailer Axle

October 14, 2019

Clamps to Hold Tubing Secure

I have a decent amount of very good tools and I’m grateful to own them. They have helped me out on so many different occasions during so many different projects. There have been, however, times when I wish I owned even more tools. While I love using the tools I do have, they oftentimes aren’t […]

Installing the Last Section of Wood Stove Chimney

October 9, 2019

Connecting Wood Stove Chimney Pieces

I received the final section of our wood stove chimney yesterday. I’ve been purchasing these things a few at a time over the past few months as to keep the expense of installing a new wood stove as least noticeable as possible. Overall, I say I’ve done pretty well because, as I’ve mentioned in one […]

How to Straighten a Bent Polar HD1500 ATV Trailer Axle

October 8, 2019

Straightening Trailer Axle

As I alluded to in my previous post, I seemed to have bent the axle of my brand new Polar HD1500 ATV trailer. This was extremely disappointing because I paid a lot of money for this trailer. I think it cost me around $425 with tax from Home Depot. I expected more from it, to […]
