Asa’s World Tour of Maine continues with Poland as our third intranational location! Poland, Maine is the original source of Poland Spring Water, which has been bottled and sold since 1859. As the story goes, in 1844 after drinking water from the spring for 10 days, Hiram W. Ricker claimed that he was cured of […]
For the second stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine, we visited Gully Oven Natural Area in Lebanon, Maine. Millions of years in the making, this unique geological feature is named for the oven shaped cavern formed amongst the rocks. With its dramatic sheer bedrock cliff that soars overhead, a waterfall rushing down the rock […]
Alright, I admit the first stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine was a bit of a washout by being overly ambitious. Hence why for the second stop we are visiting a smaller venue that is perfect for an up and coming rock star. We are rocking and rolling from Lebanon, the westernmost town in […]

On a clear day there are views […]
