On our 4th day in Maine, we headed north to Kokadjo. We wanted to see a moose in the wild. We found Lazy Tom’s Bog in Kokadjo and paddled there for several hours. We came across a very large beaver dam which was really cool! Beavers create entire ecosystems with their dams! These bogs are important for all sorts of…

Grace Tree Farm
Friday after work, we drove to Grace Tree Farm to cut our own Christmas tree. It’s a new Christmas tradition. This year, we brought the huskies. Shadow is 12 1/2 now and is struggling to get up and down. At night, we use belly bands because he was having accidents. They work great! Grace Tree Farm is a Christian owned…
Acadia Day 3: Carriage Roads
Acadia National park has about 45 miles of carriage roads. No cars are allowed on the carriage roads; it is open for hiking, horses and cycling. Absolutely stunning beauty all around. I am so glad that we decided to bring our bikes to ride along the carriage roads. On day 3, we rode our bicycles 25 miles around the carriage…
Back to Maine Day 2 – Lighthouses
On our second day, we accomplished quite a bit. We got up early to drive into Bar Harbor for a lighthouse boat tour. It was freezing, but we stuck it out. At one point, we were the only people on the top deck of the boat. As we got back to the house, the moon was beautiful. I was able…
Jeep Wedding Photos
One thing I knew for sure when we decided to get married was that I wanted pictures of us on the big day with my Jeep. I scoured the Internet for wedding day Jeep photos and there weren’t many to be found. I decided that I would share mine here, just in case there are brides and grooms out there…
Comers Creek Falls
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…
