This past spring I made a stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine in Oxford, but I didn’t share it. Instead, I had it all planned out that I would use it for the start of the school year in September, since its namesake, Oxford in England, is known for its university. But well, my […]
Today I’m taking you on a leisurely walk in the woods at Jagolinzer Preserve in Limington, Maine. This 20 acre preserve has an approximately half-mile loop track that takes you through dense forest, along Pease Brook, past the remains of an old dam, over wetlands, with tiered waterfalls, and a rocky beach to wet the […]
I went to the town of Limerick. This was not Llily Llama’s silly trick. It’s part of my tour. I hope it won’t bore. So I’ll make this visit really quick! Town historians say Native Americans called it Ossipee. But sold it to someone not on the family tree. Settled in 1668. Colonists thought it […]
First off, I’d like to begin by apologizing to my tour manager, Llily Llama, for the drama in Sidney. I was acting more like a pop diva than a rock star. But after my hike at Androscoggin Riverlands State Park, I am ready to continue to rock Asa’s World Tour of Maine. Located in Turner, […]
G’day Mate! Today Asa’s World Tour of Maine brings you to the land down under, Sidney! I came with a strange llama, who made me nervous. She took me there after we had breakfast. And she squeaked, “Sidney’s not named for the land down under…” WAIT?! Stop the singing this poorly paraphrased version of the […]
Welcome to a very special episode of Asa’s World Tour of Maine. Earlier this summer on my tour of Fort Ticonderoga in New York, I shared an idea of incorporating my newfound knowledge of how to fire an historic cannon into my act. I envisioned doing a 21 poop bag salute (EMPTY – for all […]
This week Asa’s World Tour of Maine is rolling into Cornish, Maine. For thousands of years the land here along the Ossipee and Saco Rivers was used by Native Americans. In 1665 British colonist, Francis Small, established a trading post where the Sokokis Trail (Route 5), the Ossipee Trail (Route 25) and the Pequawket Trail […]
Today is National Lighthouse Day! Over the years Angel Chuck Billy and I have visited many of Maine’s iconic lighthouses. Please join me for a special edition of the Golden Tail Wags Awards, where I celebrate some of our favorite Maine lighthouses. The Blush of Dawn Award: Quoddy Head Light in Lubec is winner of […]
Following the awkwardness of Asa’s World Tour of Maine’s visit to the Fryeburg fairgrounds, my manager Llily Llama sent me to take a hike at Jockey Cap Rock. However, she didn’t give me any information to prepare me for this visit. So I decided to put the clues together myself. It has cap in the […]
This week Asa’s World Tour of Maine is taking you to Sweden! Located among rolling hills, ponds and forest on land once inhabited by the Pequawkets, Sweden, Maine was settled in 1784 and incorporated as a town in 1813. Not to be confused with New Sweden, which is much further north in Maine, and actually […]
