In celebration of National Take a Hike Day, we are sharing another trail we explored during our Bold Coast adventure. Race Point, in Trescott, Maine, is known for its dramatic reversing falls. The Passamaquoddy called the area Kapskuk, which translates to “place where the water looks like it is boiling.” When the water of Cobscook’s […]
We interrupt our regularly scheduled post for today because I need to have a serious conversation with Asa about an incident that occurred on the way to bed last night. Asa: Is it because I was feeling sluggish and headed up to bed early? Chuck Billy: That’s exactly what the problem is! Asa: I didn’t […]
Last week we shared with you the the history of the decisions made at the Burnham Tavern, that eventually led to the Battle of Machias in 1775. Today we continue that tale with a visit to Fort O’Brien in Machiasport, Maine. Following the residents’ rising up to seize a British naval vessel, and fatally wounding […]
Sssshh! Can you keep a secret? Last week Dad was away for a few days, so we’ve been playing by Mom’s rules. They are kind of like Dad’s rules, but a lot better. Here are a few highlights, but remember just like the motto “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas,” let’s just keep this […]

If you find yourself driving through Machias, Maine, be sure to take a moment to visit the Bad Little Falls. In fact, the name Machias comes from the Passamaquoddy word that roughly translated means “Bad Little Falls.” But don’t let the name fool you, these falls aren’t bad at all, and instead powered the industry […]
Halloween may be over, but dogs across the nation faced something even scarier this past weekend, Daylight Saving Time, in which humans insist on serving our dinners one hour late! To drive the point home that this is more than inconvenience, but a true horror for dogs, Asa has written a parody of the scariest […]
Blame it on all that talk about turning seawater into gold at Klondike Mountain in Lubec. Or maybe it was due to the pacing pirate ghosts that visited our rental cabin on that dark and stormy night. Regardless of the cause, I had treasure on my mind, and I was going to find it! While […]
