Fun Fact: Chances are within 100 miles of where you are now, there has been a Bigfoot sighting. Or at least that’s what a show we watched during vacation claimed. So it wasn’t a surprise while hiking in the remote woods in Danforth, Maine, that Chuck Billy’s thoughts turned towards this shy and elusive creature. […]
As Asa’s World Tour of Maine traveled north to the Million Dollar View Scenic Byway and Orient, we stopped to stretch our legs and explore the East Grand Highlands Hiking Trails in Danforth, Maine. Thanks to the generosity of the David B. Snow Jr. Family Trust, who privately own this land, they have allowed the […]
Asa’s World Tour of Maine has finally reached the top, or at least very close to it! Traveling the farthest northeast we’ve ever gone before to the “Crown of Maine,” we visited Orient! Located in Maine’s northern most county of Aroostook, Orient was incorporated on April 19, 1856. As for the reasoning behind the name, […]
Asa here. Since Chuck Billy brought up the topic of wildlife friends yesterday, today I’d like to share with you the new friends we made while on vacation. Near where we stayed was a little beach, that we shared with the local residents. One day, after a morning of hiking, Chuck Billy and I were […]
We interrupt our adventure updates with this public announcement to our wildlife neighbors. We are back on neighborhood patrol! Consider yourself warned! Sergeant Skunk, you can stand down now. We thank you for filling in on patrol by keeping an eye on our house and garden. We even appreciate the extra work you did aerating […]
Yesterday on Asa’s World Tour of Maine, we took you to Mexico and Byron. While researching that area, I saw on the map that Berlin, Maine was nearby. However, with precious travel time ticking, rather than investigate further, I made the game day decision to find that town once we were in the vicinity. How […]
As any rock star will tell you, a stop in Mexico is a must. So we headed northwest on Asa’s World Tour of Maine to Mexico! Gateway to the western mountains, Mexico, Maine was first part of “Township Number 1” in 1789. However, by 1818 Mexico was incorporated as its own independent town. The name […]
We’re back from our boldest adventure yet! We traveled farther northwest and northeast in Maine than we’ve ever gone before! We even were surprisingly closer to Santa’s home at the North Pole than Asa ever dreamed! Along the way we explored new hiking trails, returned to an old favorite, learned more interesting facts from Maine’s […]
I did it! Well actually my eye did it. But whoever did it, it worked! The fibrinohemorrhagic clot that has been blocking my vision since last October is gone! In fact, there aren’t even any signs of it! It is completely GONE! My follow up appointment began as it usually does, with my ophthalmologist asking […]
It all started with Asa giving a ride to a spider, then shenanigans ensued. There’s a chill to the air lately, so one of Asa’s spider friends wanted to come inside to warm up. He was patiently waiting on the outside door for a ride share, and Asa was happy to oblige giving him a […]
