Good Time Gramps, Starfish, and River Last week I didn’t know if I was going to be able to get my weekly hike in, making my last post more about reflection and less about a hike. With the weekend closing in and my work schedule I was giving up hopes of hitting a […]
It’s been nine days since my last hike and I only have today and the weekend to get one in for this week. It’s not looking hopeful since I have to work two of those days. But I am sure I will squeeze a stroll in some where. Even though my […]
What a wonderful change in weather. The wind and rough waters are back but it is sunny and no humidity. I love the sun and heat but when the humidity is so high you can’t breather it’s hard to be a happy hiker. Today is hubby’s first day of vacation. We […]
It was a fabulously hot day this morning for our hike. When I arrived at my friend Sharon’s house in Bangor the temperature was already 80 degrees and it was only 9:15am. I was sweating before I walked across the driveway to her house. We headed to Fields Pond in Orrington […]

I can’t seem to stay away from Acadia National Park. It keeps calling me back each week. Cadillac Mountain South Ridge Trail was our destination. I was joined by Sharon. I picked her up after I stopped at Hannford to get a piece of fruit and a new water bottle. I […]
Yesterday I had a “thing” removed from my toe. It started out as an ordinary blister in the early days while I was hiking the A.T. last summer. It took over 1,000 miles to heal. But it never really healed correctly. At one point during its evolution, it looked like a crater. It had a […]
