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, […]

Somehow, this post has fallen by the wayside, which is unfortunate because it pulls the chronology of my posts out of whack. I’m sure I’ll get over it, but still… Anyway, about a month or so ago, Laura and I decided to jump in the car and drive over to a road I found on […]

Last week sometime, Don and his beautiful wife were driving up our road during one of our walks. In Maine, it’s not customary for someone you know to drive by and wave. What the custom is, is to stop and talk for a while. Every time Don drives by, it’s known that he’ll stop to […]

This past Monday was a sunny one. The previous weekend gave us a lot of rain and wind. Since the new week offered us sunshine (and wind), Laura and I decided to get in the car to take a trip up to Rangeley. The last time I was there was during my motorcycle ride with […]

What a beautiful orchard. I’ve been to some really lovely (yes, I said lovely) orchards in my time, but nothing quite like North Star Orchards in Madison, Maine. Last week, Laura and I decided that if we were going to pick apples this month, we better get on the road. We have a terrible habit […]

This post is way overdue. It’s an adventure Laura, her parents and I went on weeks ago. Since I’ve been busy moving posts over from my old blog to this one, I got in a sort of writing funk. Seriously, one can only blog so much. It takes a lot out of you. Anyway, we […]
