Fun While It Lasted

 

Greg and Mark spent last weekend camping and ATVing in Maine. They stayed at a campground on the Kennebec River located in the small town of Solon.

The campground is located on an old Indian camp.

After setting up on their site they went for a ride along the river. They were able to access the trail system right from the camp site.

The first ride took them across the top of this hydroelectric dam on the river.

And along the river on an old rail bed converted to a multi-use trail.

The first evening they ate dinner on this deck. Not exactly roughing it. The campground also had 5 cabins like the one above.

On Sunday they explored many other trails and found scenic mountain vistas like these.

This mud bog was located off one of the rails. Mark just had to give it a try.

They covered nearly 70 miles on Sunday, and made several stops along the way to take in the views.

Monday morning they woke up to a light rain and decided to pack up and head home to dry the tents.
