We headed to West Virginia for a quick day trip to New River Gorge National Park. The park is a 3 hour drive from our home. I thought it would be neat to see this waterfall with the low temps we’ve been having. It is right off the road, however, the trail was frozen solid. At one point, I just…
Our 5th and last day in Maine. 😰 4th day at Acadia National Park. Yes, way back in October. I’m not a very good blogger, am I!? We hiked 3 miles- we made it to the summit of Beech mountain. There was a lot of rock scrambling on the way up, but we did it! Gorgeous views- especially on top.…
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…
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 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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
