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.

My New Cabela’s Snow Runner Winter Hiking Boots

Over the past four years, I’ve been casually browsing through many store shelves for the perfect pair of hiking boots. I haven’t purchased this type of shoe in a very long time and I guess I was behind the times because when I looked at the prices of some of these things, I was rather […]

Hiking Reed Brook to the Falls in Kingfield, Maine

Boy, this fall season has really been humming right along. We’ve gone out more than I’ve expected. Yesterday was the last for a while because it’s supposed to be cloudy for the next few days. Actually, I think we’re supposed to get two full days of rain coming up. That would be nice, since we […]

Hiking Center Hill Nature Trail in Mount Blue State Park, Maine

Today was a very adventurous day for us. After a bit of work this morning, I suggested that we get out there to enjoy this wonderful fall weather we’ve been having. Apparently, there’s a gigantic state we’re living in that has yet to be explored. We’ve seen, I don’t know, maybe half of a half […]

An Autumn Walk Along Jerusalem Road in Maine

The leaves are really changing color now. I think they’re a bit late this year. I can never remember if a dry autumn makes them hold on longer or a wet one does. If memory serves, I think we’re about as far along now as we were in late September last year. Either way, it […]

New Walking Road Above the Lake

For almost three years, Laura and I have been walking on the same roads. I’d say that about 95% of the time, the road we live on has been the favorite. After that, we switched back and forth between another two that are each about a half mile from our house. All three roads are […]

Walking Up the Brook

Earlier this week, Laura’s parents came to visit. We did a bunch of fun stuff, such as visiting Bar Harbor, driving my truck up in the hills north of us and making our way toward the back of our property to visit the brook. I have posts on the stuff we did together and what […]

Hiking the Cabin Land

What we have here is the first of a long line of soon-to-be posts about Steve’s cabin project. If you look to right (right hand column), you’ll even see a very special link to a page holding all the links to the posts I write on the subject. It’s bound to be fascinatingly wonderful, so […]

Mid-April Hike

It’s been a long Winter. If you’re from Maine, you know exactly what I’m talking about. From what I hear around town and from a few friends, Maine hasn’t seen a Winter like this in a few decades. Honestly, the cold doesn’t bother me. I’ll write more about this when I get our “About” page […]
