PANIC

brentdanley
Yes, that’s a keyfob. And, because it’s a Volkswagon Jetta keyfob, it’s also the key.
Last Sunday the girls asked me to take them to Portland Head Light to climb on the rocks, hike and take pictures. The answer to that request will always be an enthusiastic “yes”. While I took pictures the […]

Meetup.com

Last week, while searching the internet for like-minded people here in southern Maine, I discovered a new and wonderful website. Meetup.com is a place where anyone can plan events for people who share a common interest. It’s fantastic! Group members can share photos, messages, files, and are able to comment on and rate […]

Last Monday we packed up from three days of camping at Balsam Cove Campground at Toddy Pond to drive to Acadia National Park to see the park and purchase our annual pass.  Brian, a camper in the site next to us, told us about Seawall Campground inside Acadia that does not take reservations and almost […]

Lost!

I was determined to get on the pond early to enjoy the sunrise and calm before everyone else began their fishing and boating activities. We were staying at Balsam Cove Campground for three nights and I only had the canoe rented for the morning and I wanted to make the most of it. […]

Pinch Me. Am I Dreaming?

Yesterday I peddled the Harborwalk Trail from Bug Light to Back Cove and back. It was a fun ride filled with wonderful sights, sounds, and smells.
While I was cycling I had a lot of opportunity to think and appreciate all the wonderful things in my life. I love living in Maine! I’ve […]

If you’ve visited my Flickr photostream lately you may think it’s turned into a travelogue. We have been having a great time in Vacationland.
Wednesday afternoon I did a L.L. Bean walk-on kayaking adventure in Casco Bay. It was an amazing time. The fog was thick as we paddled along the shore. […]

North on Route 1

brentdanley
Yesterday we intended to take a cruise in Casco Bay but were discouraged by the nice lady at the ticket office. The fog, she said, wasn’t supposed to lift and we wouldn’t see much. So we drove north on Route 1 to visit Marshall Point Lighthouse. We had a great time despite […]
