Maine or Bust 2022: Cadillac Mountain Redo
The sun was out and Cadillac Mountain was waiting for us. It was a great day for a hike and since we lost our reservation to drive up, we chose to walk to the top. The Cadillac South Ridge Trail was described as a moderately challenging 6.7 mile out and back trail. We felt we…

Maine or Bust 2022: Rainy Days And Mondays
We had a Monday reservation at 9 a.m. to drive to the top of Acadia National Park’s Cadillac Mountain, the highest point on the North Atlantic seaboard. We awoke to pouring rain and a forecast of much more to come. Needless to say, we nixed the mountain drive. Armed with Google maps, we opted for…

We’ve reached the northernmost point of our trip and are comfortably settled in a spectacular log cabin overlooking the Mt. Desert Narrows body of water.

Maine or Bust 2022: Main(e) Memories of Freeport
From our front porch we could see the finger of land across the water hiding Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park. Curious, we drove around and found a trail to explore, looping through the grounds and offering views of coastal tide pools, towering forests and an occasional wildflower. Taking advantage of another beautiful day, we thought…

Maine or Bust 2022: Room to Stretch
After 84 days living exclusively in our trailer, Minnie is in storage, having earned a much needed rest, while we enjoy some room to stretch. We scheduled these next two weeks months ago when our (Reg’s) plan was to tent-camp across the entire length of U.S. Highway 20, the 3,365-mile road that stretches from Newport,…

Maine or Bust 2022: We Crossed The Line
First stop in the state of Maine – a short, 2-night visit with friends and former California neighbors Jeannie and Jeff at their lovely coastal home. Although the weather wasn’t looking good Friday morning, we donned our raincoats (just in case) and set off on a path through the 295-acre Beech Hill Preserve, hoping to…

Maine or Bust 2022: Hiking Trails Galore
New Hampshire was not a new state for either of us, but for Reg it was a bit of a homecoming. As a 7-year old, Reg attended second grade in a K-12 school in Bethlehem, a small community not far from our campground. The school still stands although it now serves only elementary school students.…

Maine or Bust 2022: The World’s Worst Weather?
Upon leaving Vermont the only thing stopping us from reaching our goal was the state of New Hampshire. A relatively short drive across the border took us into New Hampshire and our riverside site just outside the small town of Littleton. New Hampshire is home to the White Mountains, including the highest peak in the…

Maine or Bust 2022: I Scream, You Scream…
…We All Scream For Ice Cream! No trip through Vermont would be complete without a visit to Ben and Jerry’s place to sample a scoop or two of their world famous ice cream. We were on our way to explore Vermont’s winter ski capital of Stowe and might have missed our chance were it not…
