End of the day
8. heinäkuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ⛅ 75 °F
..and do after getting ourselves situated, going to the local grocery store, which is absolutely a Typical County Store, getting provisions and grabbing fast dinner, we are retiring for the night leaving you with gorgeous mountain sunset
P.S. this also gave me a chance to test out my birthday present from Barry and Jo, namely a card reader, and I am happy to say that it works.
These sunset photos are taken with my 35mm camera and I don't have to wait until I get home to post them anymore 😁Lue lisää

The summit
9. heinäkuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F
We made it to the summit and marveled at views again.
We spent some time on this little opening, had some lunch, and rested. Mosquitoes were still relentless, though...
So we traversed the other side of the trail loop, which wound up taking us down to what most likely IS that elusive trailhead, and we got to our car after perhaps. 5 mile 😊
Slightly less than 5 miles total(trail proper), it was a good short start (hopefully we'll do better in upcoming days if the weather behaves)

These shots include Pastor Mandy's Serene Video of the day (seems they exist outside The Camino... who knew...😇) and views of Majestic Katahdin Mountain - the tallest mountain of The State of Maine and the Northern Terminus of AT.

Needless to say we rode into town, hit the County Store ang got mosquitoes repellent 👍Lue lisää

Robinson Mountain
9. heinäkuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F
Robinson Mountain is a peak not far from our cabin in and has an elevation of 1,020 feet. Robinson Mountain is named after Maj. George Robinson, a former resident in Island Falls. Robinson served with 8th ME VI and perhaps best remembered for interfering with Lewis Paine (Powell) - co-conspirator of John Wilkes Booth - during the latter's attempt at assassinating Secretary of State William Steward on April 14, 1865. (Robinson was a Sgt. then)
In any case, a new trail was just opened, and we decided to take advantage ...

Parking area and small commemorative rock overlooking Upper Mattawamkeag Lake.

BTW, Robinson Mountain is the one straight ahead from our patio on last night's sunset photosLue lisää

Island Falls, ME
28. elokuuta 2019, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 50 °F
We stayed in an Airbnb in Island Falls. It was so late when we got in, but it was a nice stop. The next morning we all chilled while getting around. Rachel and I took out coffee outside to catch the morning fog. We decided to explore the river across the road from us while we visited, planned and just enjoyed the time together. A+ morning!

While breakfast was going on, we had tribal council. Nobody got voted off, but decisions were made. 100% rain in the forecast for the next day and nobody was looking forward to hiking @ Acadia NP in the rain. We had to switch some things around, and knock out some site-seeing, but we all agreed. Acadia today!Lue lisää

Trail
9. heinäkuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☁️ 72 °F
So the trailhead proved to be somewhat elusive, but in the end, we found a service road that eventually got us on it.
The ATVs use the trail as well, so there are plenty of mud spots...
Of course, we got eaten alive by the army of mosquitoes (later on that 🙄).
Meanwhile, some views while on the trail incl. a beautiful flower and a multicolored field of them.Lue lisää

Seboeis River Nature Trail
10. heinäkuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☁️ 75 °F
The trailhead was perhaps 5 minutes away from Shin Falls so we jumped at a chance.
The northern access point for the Seboeis Riverside Trail is the start of a 6.75 mile one-way trail that leads south along the Seboeis River into Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument.

No, we didn't do the whole length...more on that in the next footprintLue lisää

Cheese and Wine
9. heinäkuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F
..so this was a major bummer.
As many of you know, today is Laurie's birthday, and I was all set to take her out to a nice dinner.
I forgot where we are!!!
Not only does one have to go completely crazy to even remotely find anything "nice" by our standards (remember- pop. 600, right, so 2 restaurants and nice is still the same as regular, namely burgers and pizza...else you have to drive somewhere fir 2 hours)...but since it's Sunday, they close by 5 pm!!!! 😡
Yup!
So.... we contented with one of our "in"-dinners and joined other vacationers for complimentary cheese and wine event in the evening 😀
I end this day with a shot of communal deck resplendent in swimwear and a partial view of Mt. Chase, which is to the right of Robinson Mountain, and also is seen from said deck.Lue lisää

Matkaaja Sorry about your dinner plans. ☹️ But wine and cheese is good! 😃 Beautiful sunset.

Thus Ends Today
10. heinäkuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat ⋅ 🌧 75 °F
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 last night, but that they are all closed tonight as well.
In addition it is supposed to start raining this evening 😑
So we had to content with another dinner in, then took a leisurely walk around the compound and shall indulge in a friendly game of Trivia Pursuit Genus IV Edition.

As you can see, there is no sunset as clouds cover the skies....

Goodnight Irene....Lue lisää

That's OK. Laurie looks tired anyway. We found the same situation with restaurants in the Poconos. Have a good, restful night. [Jeanine]

Clear skies and "Ursa Major"
11. heinäkuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ☀️ 72 °F
The day is finishing on a very nice note; the rain is over and the skies are bright and clear. The views from the back patio are awesome...
... and so is the view of mosquitoes bites on my arm that interestingly enough also project some astronomical celestial body... 😁😇Lue lisää

The Slice
14. heinäkuuta 2023, Yhdysvallat ⋅ ⛅ 81 °F
Somewhat frustrated, we made the best of it by checking out The Slice, apparently THE PLACE to go if you are local (given that it's one of only 2 eateries in town).
Laurie cooled herself with Sam Adam's Summer Ale and chose Buffalo Chicken salad.
I settled on trying "The Ronnie" - a combo of ham, cheeseburger, fried chicken, bacon, and usual veggie fixes on a bun (and noone in there knows why "Ronnie" ...reckn it meant something to someone at one point) and washed it down with Portland Pale Ale.

Besides good food this turned out to be a Blessing as the waitress told us where to go to get to the lakeLue lisää
