We’ve got a lot of streams around our state. It seems like you can’t walk more than a mile or so without bumping into one very cool stream or another. Our very own property borders two different streams and there’s another up the road. They’re actually all over the place. I like them because so […]
Hiking & Walking
Laura and I have lived in New York, Connecticut, Florida, and Maine and while in each one of these fine states, we've hiked some of the best trails and walked on some of the finest roads, whether it be in state or town parks, in the wild, or on lonely dirt paths. During our travels, we've taken lots of photos and have shared even more stories. That's what I'd like to do here - share both pictures and our experiences. We currently live in Maine, where there's no shortage of incredible hikes and dirt roads to nowhere. From river valleys to mountain tops, I'll try with all my might to bring you along. In this category, you can expect to see some of my best photography, hiking and walking location descriptions, as well as what we were thinking while we were enjoying our outdoor adventures.
Hiking Houston Brook Falls in Bingham, Maine
Last week, a friend sent me a video of his autumn camping trip on the shores of Wyman Lake in Bingham, Maine. I watched the video and thought the area in which he and another friend camped was interesting. As I watched the video, I simultaneously began hunting around on Google Earth in an effort […]
Walking Bonney Woods in Farmington, Maine
I’ve been having an extraordinary time with my short story book. So many of the stories are excellent. Actually, all of them are. I’ve made it half way through the Character section and have so far read The Jilting of Granny Weatherall by Katherine Anne Porter and The Five-Forty Eight by John Cheever. What I […]
Hiking French’s Mountain Trail 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 […]
What Are the Best Trails to Hike in Maine?
I have lived in Maine for just over five years now and I’ve been to some very good trails that are in the proximity of the town I live. My favorite trails so far were created by and are maintained by Maine Huts & Trails in Carrabassett Valley. The specific trails lead from the Carrabassett […]
Hiking Around Carrabassett with my Wide Angle Lens
I really had only one goal in mind. That was to get out there to see what my wide angle lens could do. I’ve had this lens for quite a while, but haven’t used it in some time. I’ve been so busy with the Canon 18-135mm that I recently purchased that I sort of put […]
Maine Winter Hiking Over the Bridge & Through the Pines
In my opinion, winter truly is the best season. Hands down. Fall is a close second, but winter really has so much to offer. During my years growing up, I never saw it that way, but I sure do now. The reason I wasn’t very fond of winter while I was young is because it […]
Hiking Pico Ridge – the Cliff Above Clearwater Lake
So far, this autumn has been very nice. It’s been dry and just the right temperature. There were a few hot and humid days thrown in there about a week ago, but they passed quickly and we returned to our regular temperatures. Around 40 degrees at night and 55 during the day, although last night […]
Back to the Poplar Hut Trail
Yesterday was a great day. Laura and I went back up to the snow trails that lead to Poplar Hut in Carrabassett, Maine. We’ve had some snow over the past week and I wanted to see how the trails looked. The Maine Huts & Trails group grooms the trails for hiking and cross-country skiing, so […]
Unigear Spiked Traction Cleats for Snow & Ice
These spikes are the real deal. I’m so used to looking at those other rubberized, little nub things, that when I saw these on Amazon, I had to get them. I’ve almost slipped over and fallen about ten times so far this season, so I had to do something. I just tested these bad boys […]
