Coastal Maine suffered extensive damage this past winter, leaving returning seasonal visitors the difficult task of rebuilding their summer homes. This includes our feathered friends the Piping Plovers. Along Maine’s seacoast much of their nesting areas in the dunes and sandy areas above the tideline were damaged or washed away in the record breaking storm […]
Today marks the state of Maine’s 204th birthday! Now if there’s one thing Mainers enjoy is a celebration, and we have some rather unique ones in our state. Here are just a few of the festivals taking place in Maine this year. Please note NOT all of these events are dog friendly! Check out the […]
Welcome to the 7th Annual Golden Tail Wags Awards, where we celebrate the weird and wonderful things we saw, and friends we’ve made, while going on adventures last year.

Last month the high point of our vacation was literally the high point of the Coast Guard Trail at Quoddy Head State Park in Lubec, Maine. Quoddy Head is a special place for our family, you may recall last year we greeted the sunrise there in memory of Grandpa. This year we took a more […]
Last month, Asa’s World Tour of Maine continued with a quick stop in Columbia Falls, Maine.

Asa’s World Tour of Maine continues with a visit to Calais, Maine! Located along the St. Croix River which separates the United States from Canada, it was named after Calais, France, in recognition of the assistance the French gave us during the American Revolution.

Shortly after starting our hike, we were fleeing from the trail! When we arrived we were […]
