Vaughan Woods and Historic Homestead in Hallowell, Maine consists of approximately 3 miles of trails perfect for a variety of adventures from a leisurely dog walk, to steeper terrain for more adventurous pups. This property was owned by the Vaughan family for seven generations since the 1700s, and used for a variety of purposes from […]
Today we are starting Asa’s World Tour of Maine 2024 in Wales! According to Maine: An Encyclopedia, it was settled sometime around 1773 by European colonists from Wales in Great Britain, and incorporated as a town in 1816. I also found a reference that it was once briefly called Bloomingboro in 1780, but officially changed […]
We are excited to announce that Asa’s World Tour of Maine 2024 will be heading out on the road this week! Just like last year’s successful world tour, we will be visiting places in Maine named for countries and famous cities around the globe. Along the way, there will be exploring dog friendly places, hiking, […]
As the manager for Asa’s World Tour of Maine, I admit I could have done a better job promoting his career. How Taylor Swift got the Time Magazine cover instead of Asa is beyond me! His summer tour was equally impressive, and he was seen dating a celebrity! His philanthropic deeds may not have been […]
You didn’t hear it from me, but it appears a celebrity on and off again relationship is back in the headlines. Fresh off his successful world tour of Maine, rock star Asa was spotted on vacation with a famous actress, Lady, from the critically acclaimed movie, “Lady and the Tramp.” You may recall they were […]
Last month, Asa’s World Tour of Maine continued with a quick stop in Columbia Falls, Maine. Originally part of nearby Columbia, Maine, Columbia Falls separated to form its own independent town in 1863. Located on the Pleasant River, the “falls” part of the name is to pay tribute to the rapids there. But as to […]
Asa’s World Tour of Maine continues with a visit to Calais, Maine! Located along the St. Croix River which separates the United States from Canada, it was named after Calais, France, in recognition of the assistance the French gave us during the American Revolution. However, rather than pronounce it the French way, “Cal-lay,” Mainers have […]
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 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 […]
As Asa’s World Tour of Maine winds down for the summer, I say it was a big success! Especially since when we set off on this grand adventure, as the tour manager, I really wasn’t sure what to expect, with an up-and-coming rock star, and an inexperienced road crew consisting of Mom and Dad. Yet […]
