Paradise in the North

 Maine

Greg and Mark came back yesterday evening from their Maine get-away. They both had a great time riding the trails and stopping to explore. The weather was perfect – upper 70’s with low humidity.

Above is what some of the easy trails looked like. Others were more like goat paths with large rocks and boulders and at one time had been part of logging operations. Mark’s ATV hit the 500 mile milestone on this trip.

They stopped to explore a stream along the trail. It has been fairly dry and the water levels were low. Always the optimist Mark was hoping to find some gold in the creek. He did bring me home a very sparkly rock.

They also explored the banks of the Sandy River near the town of Strong. The water was not that cold and it would have been a great place to swim on a hot day.

They came upon this hunting camp along the trail with some trophy antlers mounted above the entry.  Most are very rustic, but this one looked like the windows had been recently replaced. Notice the ATV reflection in the upper window.
