LISBON, MAINE’S PAPERMILL TRAIL! Sluice sluice sluice sluice sluice….
Lisbon’s Paper Mill trail along the beautiful Sabattus River provides a canopy of oaks and pines. This paved trail is short, but perfect for a peaceful stroll. It won’t take long to complete this trail, but you will likely stop and enjoy the river in multiple spots, so easily a trail that you might spend hours exploring.
There’s the remains of a bridge built over a hundred years ago, and brooks and streams emptying into the Sabattus. Beautiful trail.
Also, I tell a story about working as a projectionist at a theater one summer and running Chernobyl Diaries for Stephen King.

RENYS: A MAINE ADVENTURE! Bridgton, Maine store. Shopping for post-holiday deals. And maple mustard.
Переглядів 3424 роки тому
Renys! If you’re from Maine, you can sing the next bar of this jingle faster than a chickadee dee-dee-dees. In fact, now you can’t unhear it. It’s stuck there, like the way maple candy sticks to your hands. If you’re from away and visiting, Renys is the place to shop for great souvenirs. It’s also the place to go for good winter gear if a trip to Bean’s isn’t in your budget. From gloves to boot...
FOUNDRY TRAIL IN LIVERMORE FALLS, MAINE! Heavy Christmas rains flood the Androscoggin
Переглядів 2544 роки тому
Water levels were high on the Androscoggin River today. The river was loud even from the road above the trail. Foundry Trail is short and offers a nice casual walk on a paved bike trail. There’s a skate park there and a beautifully constructed gazebo with plenty of places to relax, enjoy a picnic lunch and just listen to the river. Views of the actual falls are a little challenging due to tree ...
THIN ICE! Lost in the woods on WHITNEY BROOK TRAIL in CANTON, MAINE. Bonus: Paul Bunyan Footprints!
Переглядів 644 роки тому
In this video I go walking on thin ice and I find evidence of Paul Bunyan! A giant Adirondack chair (one of many located in River Valley) and some size 14 footprints. Whitney Brook has flooded eight times in the last century. I decided to visit shortly after a torrential rainstorm. In Winter. There were these paper thin sheets of ice everywhere. I saw and heard a ton of birds, ducks and crackin...
NORTH TURNER, MAINE: Corn Shop Trail by Martin Stream
Переглядів 1034 роки тому
What Corn Shop Trail lacks in length, it makes up for in character. At only 0.3 miles - round-trip - this is one of the shortest trails I’ve reviewed. But Martin Stream is serene and pleasant and totally makes this little trail in North Turner worth checking out. Just don’t blink, or you’ll miss the entrance! T-shirt? Hoodie? Mug? Sticker?

LIVERMORE: The Trails at NORLANDS LIVING HISTORY CENTER! Reflecting Pools and scenic views
Переглядів 1554 роки тому
These trails are old carriage roads that date back to the 1800’s when the Washburn family built their stately Victorian home. The center itself offers guided tours with costumed actors portraying life in rural 19th-century Maine. Although the tours are only available in summer, the trails are free to the public year-round. The Simeon Pools, reflecting pools from natural springs, provide water f...
UNDER A TRAIN BRIDGE! Oxford Hills Riverside and Viking Trails!
Переглядів 1234 роки тому
An excellent couple of trails connect Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School and Oxford Hills Middle School. The trail path is gravel along the Riverside Trail and earth floor on Viking Trail, and both are well-maintained, easy and broad. The best part of this trail is that it goes right under a bridge for trains! We had excellent timing and caught a rare glimpse of a train above us! T-shirt? H...
Winter walk on the Androscoggin Riverwalk in Lewiston-Auburn, Maine. Bridges, Great Falls and crows.
Переглядів 2664 роки тому
Went for a walk on a cold, nose-runny, gloomy, misty day in Lewiston and Auburn today, on the Androscoggin Riverwalk! Great views of Great Falls and lots of birds, ducks, loons and big fat squirrels that were surprisingly too fast to capture on film! T-shirt? Hoodie? Mug? Sticker? Yes, Please!

Tennessee’s OCOEE WHITEWATER CENTER. Site of the 96 Summer Olympics Kayak competition.
Переглядів 1004 роки тому
I spent many years driving up and down 64 Highway. The first time I ever went whitewater rafting was on the Ocoee River. The Olympic Center here boasts some beautiful views of the river, site of the kayak competitions in the 96 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Among the sights to see here are the Old Copper Road, The Blue Hole and my old house. Two out of three of those are worth seeing. T-shirt? Ho...
TENNESSEE SASQUATCH SIGHTING? No, just a trip to MORA’S ANTIQUES in Cleveland, TN (BEYOND day 10)
Переглядів 1184 роки тому
Welcome to Mora’s Antiques! This was an accidental find. I just saw the Sasquatches and the giant knight in shining armor and thought that the inside of this place would probably be worth checking out. I was not disappointed! This place winds around like some Ancient Greek labyrinth. Wait, was that a minotaur? No, just another Sasquatch! If you’re in the area, stop in! Here’s where to find them...
