Earlier this week both the Oscars and Maine’s anniversary of becoming a state occurred on the same date, March 15th. To celebrate each, I’m resharing Angel Chuck Billy’s post about the first dog movie star, who just so happened to come from Maine! In fact, Jean, the Vitagraph Dog, predates the Oscars! Maine’s First […]
Earlier this year, alright way back in the spring, I visited the Poland Spring Resort in Poland, Maine, and learned there’s a lot more about this place than just a refreshing drink. For those not familiar with this brand of bottle water, in 1844 after drinking water from the spring on this property for 10 […]
Don’t be so quick to put away your orange clothing, now that Halloween is over. Deer hunting season has officially begun in Maine, as well as other states. Many of the dog friendly trails we’ve reviewed allow hunting. Therefore, here is Angel Chuck Billy’s annual reminder to wear blaze-orange and other safety precautions to take […]
Have I mentioned my manager, Llily Llama, isn’t that original when it comes to rock iconology? Case in point, when she heard Spinal Tap’s announcement that in 2026 they will be doing a concert at Stonehenge, she thought I should add an ancient rock symbol to my repertoire. Therefore, she sent me to the Emmons […]
Maine is known for its rocky coastline, but Jasper Beach, located in Howard Cove, Machiasport, rocks out to its own unique music. I first visited this beach way back in 2016, but recently returned during Asa’s World Tour of Maine. Please join me for a stroll down memory lane, with Chuck Billy’s review from when […]
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 […]
Choose your own adventure at Boot Head Preserve in Lubec, Maine! With over 2 miles of trails, hikers can explore cobble beaches, steep rocky shorelines, rare raised coastal peatland, upland forests, and views of Maine’s quintessential headlands. Overall the trails are moderate, with some difficult areas for dogs. On the day we visited, we followed […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
