The trailhead was perhaps 5 minutes away from Shin Falls so we jumped at a chance.

This was a beautiful trail, wide and gravel.
It followed the river and was also marked rather consistently.
We came upon this picnic area and took our repast and continued on.

ReisendeGlad you got some hiking in even with the trail issues. The area you were in was beautiful. Have you had good weather? We've had showers. Today they seem to be going around us.
ReisendeUp to now, it was all good sunny to partly cloudy with temp in high 70s to mid 80s. It started raining today around 5pm or so, and prognosis are for a total washout tomorrow ang a good chances of rain all the following days. If so, the hikes might have to be canceled, although I did bring ponchos. Perhaps we might play tourists then... we'll see...

I am extremely upset.
Somewhere out there, the Stars Aligned just do NOT want me to take my wife out for her birthday 😡
Turns out that not only these so-called eateries closed down on us lastLes mer

Happy birthday, Laurie. From Harvey, the husband of another Laurie!! [Harvey]

Much to our surprise, the other side of the bridge turned out to be a trailhead to Meduxnekeag River Trail obviously running along the Meduxnekeag River.
We happily jumped at a chance, especiallyLes mer

While the rain thankfully stopped, the humidity in the air was quite unbeatable.
We decided to duck into Shire Ale House and partake in a refreshing cold pint.

Coming back, we took a quick detour to Dinsmore Cove (part of Pleasant Lake) not far from the resort. As a matter of fact, the place we stopped does belong to the resort
