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 […]
Buck’s Ledge Community Forest in Woodstock, Maine offers over six miles of trails that connect Buck’s Ledge with Lapham Ledge and the summit of Moody Mountain, with views of the Mahoosuc and Presidential Ranges. After years of fundraising and negotiations, the town of Woodstock acquired this property in 2022, and it is truly a community […]
Asa, I have exciting news for you about this stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine! We are going to play in Woodstock…Maine! Alright, so it isn’t the Woodstock in New York where the famous music festival took place in August 1969. But technically that music festival didn’t take place in Woodstock either. It was […]
French Falls River Walk in Jay, Maine is a dog friendly, whimsical and peaceful walk along the Androscoggin River. Consisting of several small trails that intertwine with each other, in total it is an easy 1.2 mile hike through dense woods along the shore, with rocky outcroppings for better views of the water. The trail […]
Today we are rocking down the highway to Peru on our 11th stop on Asa’s World Tour of Maine! Incorporated in 1821, as the 240th town in Maine, Peru was named in the spirit of liberty and solidarity for Peru, the South American country which declared independence from Spain in July 1821. Speaking of independence, why is Llily Llama joining […]
Contrary to how it appears, I’m alright! This bandage on my paw is because I nicked my dewclaw. I didn’t react at all, but apparently they bleed a lot, and Mom gets a little squeamish around blood. The bleeding has stopped. But Dad says I need to stay bandaged up while it heals. But to […]
