We’ve got a nearby lake that’s probably considered the crown jewel of the entire area. It’s called Clearwater Lake and it’s located in Industry, Maine. I’m not a big lake guy. I used to be when I was growing up, but after I left home to go to college, I haven’t found myself visiting and […]

Maine has got some unique bridges. I know of three so far. One is Wire Bridge, one is South of us and one is North of us. I don’t know the names of those two, but as we visit them and get to know them, I’ll be sure to gather some information on them and […]

Right after Laura and I were finished with our hike down Mosher Hill Falls, she requested that we drive North just a hair to take some pictures of a few fields that were close by. We did and she did. If you continue North out of the parking lot for the falls, you’ll see a […]

We were told about these falls by a fellow named Don who lives up the road. His description made it seem like the falls were right around the bend. In reality, they’re about three miles away from our house. Nevertheless, they are wonderful and quite the hidden attraction around these parts. Some people call these […]

A while ago, Laura read something online to the likes of, “You can live in Maine your entire life and you won’t come close to seeing everything.” I’m probably screwing that up, but I’m sure you get the idea. Basically, the gist of it is that Maine’s got a lot to offer. If you are […]

This was a difficult Sunday for many sap houses across the state. It’s been extraordinarily cold in northern New England and the longer than normal Winter season is taking its toll on maple syrup producers from Ohio to Maine. I just read a few comments on a maple syrup forum and a lot of people […]

Laura and I had an action packed thriller of a day today. We did all sorts of things from picking up a ton of pellets to checking out some baby ducks and chickens to looking at really cool huge machinery to cruising around and taking pictures of a wood splitting operation. What fun. Good thing […]

Laura and I went into Madison once again yesterday to run a few errands. The vet, the food store, gas and the building supply store. In the supply store, I had to grab some parts for an upcoming hot water heater project. Some more Sharkbite and copper elbows and a Sharkbite ball valve. I used […]

We had to run into town again today. I suggested that we take the back way because the main road has a thick layer of ice on it that’s very jagged. It’s not even slippery anymore – it’s more like driving on gravel. Ever since we had that rain turned ice, the roads have been […]

It’s twice now I’ve tried to explain to Laura that I’m worried about the snow. “What if we didn’t go far enough North? What if we don’t get enough snow?” I’m not sure she’s too concerned about how much snow we’ll get and I’m sure she knows I’m being facetious. It’s just that the snow […]
