This morning we got up early and headed to Troutdale, VA. It was 22° and windy, but we made the short hike to Comers Creek Falls. Ghost had a great time! It’s his kind of weather. There was a tiny bit of snow on the ground and ice forming on the moving water. The water level wasn’t as high as…

Acadia National Park Day 2
Part 1 – Acadia Mountain Trail In the morning, we headed to Bar Harbor to board a boat to go on a lighthouse tour. Afterward, we ate a delish lobster roll (they had gluten free buns!) and then we hiked Acadia Mountain Trail. It was an amazing trail on the quiet side of the island. It was fairly difficult with…
Beehive Trail, Bass Harbor Head Light- Acadia National Park
Day 1 – Acadia National Park The first day at Acadia, we made it out fairly early to get to the Beehive Trail. The park was really crowed despite us being there the last few days of the peak season. Shops and restaurants were closing down for the season. We were able to get in the last day a local…
Mt. Washington, NH
On our third day we made it to Mt. Washington in New Hampshire, It was snowing near the top and the winds were over 75mph. We were able to make it half way to the summit. It was interesting to see the snow near the top and the fall colors at the base of the mountain. It was really cold,…
Quechee Gorge
On our second day of the honeymoon, we made it to Vermont. We went to Quechee State Park to see Quechee Gorge before heading to our hotel. The most interesting thing of the hike was seeing a hiking cat. Have you ever seen such a thing? I tried to put my black cat, Rose, into a harness and she fell…
Dramatic Huskies
We’ve all seen husky videos. They are a very dramatic breed. We’ve tried trimming Ghost’s paw furs for months. He cries. He head butts us on accident. We finally gave up and brought him to the groomer. She was able to do everything except his paws. Doesn’t he look great, though? We made an appointment for the 31st just for…
New River Trail
Part of the trail is still closed due to damage from Helene, but we were able to ride from Galax to Fries Junction (12 miles). Once you get to Fries, the trail is closed. We both took our Gunnars today. If you look at the picture of the debris on the bridge pylon below, you’ll see how high the water…
Revolutionary War Cemetery in Chester, VT
The Sunday after our wedding, we just kept on driving. We knew we needed to have a long day if we wanted to spend enough time in Acadia National Park. On the second day of driving, we were heading to Quechee Gorge, VT and stopped in Chester, VT. There were a few cute little shops, but most interestingly, there was…
Fairytale Wedding
