Bar Harbor trip

Jul 23

Another sunny and clear Saturday. I went to Bar Harbor, Maine today. I love it there, it’s right on the coast of Maine. I walked around the coast a bit and than went into all of the little shops / stores they have there. I purchased a Maine magnet for my fridge. I’m starting a new collection, I’m going to buy one for every State that I visit.

After a few hours of walked around, I drive to Acadia National Park and drove up to to top of Cadillac mountain. You can bike or drive up… I chose to drive… It’s so pretty up there. So peaceful. There was one area that you can just lie down on a the ledge and just see for hundreds of miles.

ATV riding

Jul 16

What a nice day Saturday (today) was! ~80-85F. I went up to Dad’s camp again. On my way up, I stopped on Pushaw RD in Bangor to take some photos of the sky. The clouds are very strangely shaped at all three layers. I spent ~25 minutes taking photos. A local farmer came over and said the land is for sale for $16 million. I told him I’m just taking photos of the sky and he asked of me of what… I told him clouds and he said, “No, you’re taking pictures of UFO’s. I’ve seen an UFO up there before”. He went on for about 15 minutes about that and other stuff until I finally said I need to go.

Dad and I went 4-wheeling most of the day. We took turns driving. They have been making trails around the lakes and mountains up there, wide enough for a truck to drive on and a couple of ATV’s. The landscape is so beautiful there, anyone who say it could not deny that there is a higher being that created everything. The air is so clean and fresh up north as well… pine trees and raspberries… yum. When I was driving back, a female moose jumped out right in front of us so I put the brakes on and let her get ahead of us a bit. I picked up the pace a bit just to follow her, she kept looking back at us. Moose are so goofy looking when they run!

Later that day we just hung around the camp fire, talked, ate, etc. I left around 8 and go into Greenville and the sun was just setting. I stopped by Moosehead and took some of the most beautiful photos that I have ever taken. Everywhere I looked there were golden sun rays beaming over one of the mountains and shimmering over the lake.

Independance Day!

Jul 04

Happy fourth of July! What perfect weather today! Grammy and Grandpa had a cookout at their house in Dexter… a lot of the family went including mom and Jack. Mike went too. I did not bring my fireworks that Jack had bought for me in VA due to a $5000 fine the police had issued. The cookout was fun. After, mom, Jack and I went to Franky and Ann-marie’s new house on the lake. It’s beautiful, it sits on a little hill a mile into the woods right above the lake.

After, I went home and played on the computer for awhile. Then around 8:30 I went downtime to meet Mike, a college friend and watched Bangor’s fireworks show. It was pretty good. I forgot to mention that mom, Jack, Grammy and Grandpa and I went to Dexter’s fireworks show Saturday night. After Bangor’s show, I was stuck in traffic for ~40 minutes.

Very nice sunny weather today. Mom, Jack and I went to Cornerstone for church and after Stan Griffin, the paster invited the whole church over to his place for a 4th of July cookout. It was fun, a lot of people went. We played some golf afterwards.

After a few hours I went home and picked up my new glasses from Pearl Vision. $400…
