Double-M Road Trip

We spent the morning wandering around Ellsworth, ME and then drove about 250 miles to Littleton, NH.

Low key last day in Maine: we toured the Woodlawn Museum and Gardens in Ellsworth ME, and had lunch at Acadia Lobster and BBQ:

The group went for a boat trip, but Meg had to work in the morning, so we wandered out to Blue Hill, west of our rental house, and found Harriman Point Preserve.

Hiking down from Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park.

First day in Maine: met Lairs in Freeport for lunch at Maine Beer Co. and stopped at Mast Landing as well. Dinner at Perry’s Lobster Dock.

Andes NY to Surry ME via Treehouse Brewing in Charlton MA, about 500 miles.

Hiked up the ski slopes at Belleayre (1280ft in elevation over about 2 miles: oof), then treated ourselves to a pizza and salad and beer lunch at Brio’s in Phoenicia, and then grilled out dinner back at the AirBnB.

Andes, NY: We had breakfast at the diner across the street from our Airbnb, hit up the local coffee shop, and then wandered through the town bookstore which had an extremely largest selection of books about mushrooms. We spent the afternoon visiting West Kill Brewing and then stopped in at Wayside (again) to get the smoked trout plate for dinner.

350 miles today through PA and NY to Andes, NY. We’re staying in a very cute apartment in the middle of Andes for the next few days. After unloading and getting settled we walked down the street to Wayside Cider for dinner.

On the road again! 550 miles today from Wisconsin (through Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio) to Woodcock Lake Campground in the Northwestern corner of PA.
