Following the awkwardness of Asa’s World Tour of Maine’s visit to the Fryeburg fairgrounds, my manager Llily Llama sent me to take a hike at Jockey Cap Rock. However, she didn’t give me any information to prepare me for this visit. So I decided to put the clues together myself. It has cap in the […]
This week Asa’s World Tour of Maine is taking you to Sweden!

We have reached the turning point in the American Revolution, the Battles of Saratoga, New York! And just like it took the Americans two attempts, our visit to Saratoga National Historical Park also took two tries.
