I’m telling you, there’s really nothing like waking up to a 38 degree (chilly) house with a full day of visiting and shopping in the Carrabassett Valley planned. We’ve been having so much fun this year. We’ve met so many people I just can’t stand it. It’s like every time we go out, we’re taking […]

I’d like to begin this post by telling you that it’s snowing outside right now. I’m starting to wonder about this coming season. Last year, we didn’t get all too much snow, but this year, we’ve gotten our fair share, considering it’s just the beginning of December. Looking out the window gives me hope for […]

Years ago, Laura met someone on a cruise. The woman was from Maine, so they began chatting about life in the state. During their conversation, the woman mentioned that she had lived here for over 70 years and feels like she hasn’t even made a dent in all there is to do. I thought that […]

We’re out of whack this season when it comes to picking apples. It’s like this every year. Either we’re too early and head out when it’s still September or we’re really late and end up at the orchard towards the middle of October. I’d say the first week in October is probably the best. September […]

Kingfield, Maine is, by far, my favorite town in Maine. I’m not sure why this is. Perhaps it’s the fact that Kingfield is just small enough to be hidden from the rest of the world, but just large enough to find on the map. Being this way, only a select few have decided to call […]

This is the second time this year that Laura and I stopped by North Star Orchards to pick some apples. Our first visit was just a few weeks ago in September during a cool spell. We ran up there early in the picking season and grabbed ourselves a half bushel of McIntosh. That was the […]

What a weekend. Laura and I have been taking advantage of the wonderful autumn weather and have been traveling back and forth, across the state. This past Sunday, we stopped by Sugarloaf mountain for their homecoming weekend. And if that wasn’t enough, when we left there, we walked for a bit on the Narrow Gauge […]

Since Laura has been to Smalls Falls only once, and since we lost most of our light before we arrived during that visit, we thought that a final stop at the falls was in order. Especially since the leaves are almost at their full fall brilliance. Yesterday was a phenomenal day for leaf peeping in […]

I have another video for you. And yes, I apologize for the dashboard again. Today’s video was taken just moments after I took the video of Wire Bridge I posted yesterday. Laura and I were traveling north on Rt.27 which turns into Rt.16 in Kingfield, so pretty much everything I took has to do with […]

Last week, Laura and I decided it was high time to go upstate to look for moose. So far, since we arrived in Maine, she saw one and I…well, I saw nothing. The most I’ve seen were some moose tracks during a hike we went on. Not that the moose tracks weren’t exciting and all, […]
