Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
Not everything during our visit to Eastport, Maine went according to plan. In fact our hike at Shackford Head State Park quickly turned into a bad situation that could have easily been the plot of a Stephen King novel. Shortly after starting our hike, we were fleeing from the trail! When we arrived we were […]
Asa here. Chuck Billy did a great job yesterday describing the attractions to see in Eastport, Maine. However, he neglected to mention one special exhibit that was there just for one day – us! On the day we visited, there was a cruise ship docked at the historic Port of Eastport… …It was ginormous! And […]
Asa and I visited the easternmost city in the United States, Eastport, Maine! Located on Moose Island, this area was frequented by the Passamaquoddy for thousands of years. It was first visited by European explorers, fishermen, and traders in the 1600s, but it wasn’t until 1811 that it was incorporated as a town. Thanks to […]
We are back! After taking two weeks off to unplug and take Mom and Dad on a well earned vacation, Asa and I are back! And boy do we have adventures to share! We explored old familiar places, as well as found new ones to hike. We also did something we’ve never done on a […]
Ferris Bueller once said, “Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you can miss it.” So in following his lead, we are taking some time off. Alright, so while we unplug, Asa and I won’t be “borrowing” a Ferrari, and I can guarantee our adventures won’t be […]
We have a strict “No Squeaky Toys in the Office” rule ever since that incident a few years ago. How were we suppose to know Dad was talking to someone really, really, really important? But I digress. Since then Asa and I have obeyed that rule for the most part…until recently. I have to give […]
Two years ago in 2021, we visited Goat Hill Trail in Acton, Maine when it was still a work in progress. On June 3, 2023 they celebrated the official opening of this ADA accessible trail! Maintained by the Three Rivers Land Trust, this approximately half-mile, 5 to 7 feet wide, gravel, switchback trail is a […]
Today is Talk Like a Pirate Day! So you’ll no be doubt talking in a pirate growl, doing your best Long John Silver or Captain Jack Sparrow impersonation. However, what you may not realize is on a daily basis you could already be talking like a pirate, or at least a sailor. Many common phrases […]
Backyard patrol is never routine. One must always be on alert, because a situation can change in an instant. It is also important to know your limitations when these situations arise. This is what happened to me recently while out patrolling my backyard. It began with the unnerving feeling that I was being watched. That’s […]
Asa here. I decided to write a song to summarize the first leg of Asa’s World Tour of Maine and the summer of 2023. After looking through the photos and swapping tour memories with Chuck Billy, one theme became readily apparent. It rained…a lot! Every weekend with very few exceptions, in fact. So it is […]
