Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Messages from across the Distance
Hi Chuck Billy! This weekend will mark 10 months since you crossed Rainbow Bridge. Yet on our recent trip, you showed us irrefutable signs that you’re still going on adventures with us, especially when we visited our happy place at Quoddy Head State Park in Lubec. On that early September morning, there were a lot […]
Pike Lands Preserve, Lubec, Maine
We had a choice to make at the Pike Lands Preserve in Lubec, Maine. On the right side of North Lubec Road there is an Arboretum and Cove Trail. On the left is the Huckins Beach Trail. Why choose? We explored both! We began our visit walking in the grass field and wooded trails at […]
Boot Head Preserve, Lubec, Maine
Choose your own adventure at Boot Head Preserve in Lubec, Maine!

Walking on Sunshine in Lubec, Maine
Many travel great distances to see the first rays of sun touch the iconic lighthouse in Lubec, Maine. There’s also a lot more to do in this area once the day begins! Join me as I share my walk in Maine’s easternmost town. Our visit began at Mowry Beach Preserve. This 48 acre preserve offers […]
Keep on Rocking in Lubec, Maine
I’m not sure if Angel Chuck Billy ever really wanted this tour stop shared. He took his role as manager for Asa’s World Tour of Maine very seriously, meticulously researching each stop along the way. What he didn’t realize was that a place we’ve been visiting for years, actually fit the tour criteria of a […]
Introducing My Newest Tour Team Member
Exciting news! During my time away, my manager Llily Llama added a new member to my Asa’s World Tour of Maine team. Introducing my stylist, Llorenzo Llamas! Note the different spelling of Llorenzo. Not to be confused with the star of the 1990s tv series, Renegade. Totally different Llamas. Although I’m really not sure what […]
Recharged and Ready: A Poem

Taking Shore Leave to Rest
Avast, me hearties! Lend me yer ears, for I’ve got a mighty proclamation! Seein’ as it be Talk Like a Pirate Day, I’ll be usin’ the tongue of me sea-rovin’ brethren to deliver it. Me sawbones of the beasties, aye, the ship’s veterinarian to you landlubbers, done gave me the all clear, so I be […]
That Time We Hiked with Free Range Chickens
Yesterday I shared with you my strange encounter with a chicken parking lot attendant. This was not our first random chicken encounter when out on a hike. Please join me for a hike down memory lane when in 2016 Angel Chuck Billy and I came across this cryptic warning in the woods. Beware of Free […]
Psycho Chicken in Topsham, Maine
Just like the band Spinal Tap, not all the stops on Asa’s World Tour of Maine go as planned. Such was the case on our visit in August to Topsham, Maine. Online the Head of the Tide Park is described as access to the seven mile long Cathance River Corridor Historical Trail. What it doesn’t […]
