Dog Friendly Trails
Dog friendly hiking trails for you to explore!
I’m sure you’ve heard of the Loch Ness Monster, or “Nessie” as her friends call her. She is the elusive sea serpent that inhabits Scotland’s Loch Ness. But did you know Maine also has a mysterious monster swimming off of our shores too? In fact reports of suspicious sea serpent sightings have spanned hundreds of […]
Spoiler alert – Ghost sightings are NOT common at Ghost Meadow Wildlife Commons in Wells, Maine. However, what you will see is an extensive marsh, dense forest, and yes a small meadow at this dog friendly trail. It is also the home to wildlife including nesting Great Blue Herons, and deer. The trail is a […]
Asa here. Today I would like to introduce you to the most misunderstood character of Halloween, the Spider. Seen lurking in the shadows, scurrying across our floors, or clinging to the ceiling, and featured in countless movies and television shows, the Spider is an enduring presence in our lives. But do we really know them? […]
Asa likes to find the good in everyone, which is great any other time of the year. However, with Halloween right around the corner, I feel it is my responsibility to remind him, and other overly friendly dogs, to beware of monsters.

Five years ago today, Grandma lost her best friend and husband for 51 years; Mom and our Uncle lost their biggest cheerleader and confidante; and Asa and I lost the BEST Grandpa a dog could ever wish for.

Follow the path along the river, stopping periodically to read the interpretive signs describing the mills that once depended on the three waterfalls at this former industrial site. Next wind your way through the woods to marvel at the hemlocks, some of which […]
Don’t look, but I’m being stalked by a deer! Earlier this summer I introduced you to Fawnzie, my carefree and impulsive, daredevil neighbor. Since that time, periodically throughout the summer Fawnzie could be seen playing with reckless abandon in our yard, walking up the middle of our street in broad daylight without a care in […]
This weekend we are going pumpkin picking. Therefore, today we are taking a stroll down memory lane, or rather, through the pumpkin patch, to the time that Asa and I met the Great Pumpkin in 2019. Asa here. Recently while watching the Halloween classic, “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown,” I made a startling realization. […]
