Winter is “officially” almost here! This year Acadia National Park celebrated it’s centennial, so it seems only fitting that I bring a little adventure, wonder, and inspiration by sharing a wintery landscape of the park you might not have experienced. In the winter, Acadia National Park turns into a winter wonderland and magical playground to […]
After returning from a hike, we were driving down a dirt road when I exclaimed, “I think that rock has eyes!” I immediately thought it seemed kind of spooky and fun. So I pulled off to take a closer look. In the spirit of Halloween, this seemed like the right image to share today. Why? […]
We connect to each other and the world by getting outdoors and this weekend was no different. Our adventurous spirits wanted a day in the mountains together and set our sights on Sugarloaf village and a hike up Burnt Mountain. On a good day (clear visibility) you can see great views of Sugarloaf Mountain and the […]
My blog has included thoughts on running over the last month leading up to the Mount Desert Island Marathon, Half Marathon, and Relay. Running is one of the many ways that I get out to adventure, explore, and connect with the natural world. There is something so minimal and freeing about it. Even on the days […]
If you can, get in your car and visit a wild place today (or this weekend). If it is one of our 412 national parks that’s awesome. If it is a state park, nature preserve, community garden, or local park that’s awesome too. Just go and experience the beauty of it all and pause to […]
Did you know this month the National Park Service (NPS) is celebrating 100 years? It’s true! August 25 is the centennial and I am really jazzed up about it. To show my love for our national wild places I am sharing a series of photographs throughout the month to inspire your travels to any (or all) […]
If you have ever been to Acadia National Park you have likely passed by the sign that reads “100 miles to Roosevelt Campbello International Park.” I know I have passed by so many times (too many to count) always on my way to somewhere in or around Acadia. I recently passed by the sign again […]
We finally got some rain! Yahoo! It has been a very dry summer season so far and the rain provided the earth a much-needed drink of water. Rain also got me very curious about waterfalls. It seemed to me that the rain meant that there was a good chance that the waterfall levels had risen […]
Do you ever have an idea that you shrug off as a fleeting thought? Or perhaps as something unrealistic and silly? I have a lot of moments where ideas swirl in and out. I call them nuggets of possibility. I actually try hard to write down many of my ideas, thoughts, dreams, and questions. It […]
I must admit something. I have never been sailing in Maine. There I said it. I have been on a sailboat once but it was a small boat where you had to be careful or you might get thrown overboard. And it was in Australia. (A great story for another time). Either way, hard to […]
