This weekend, Hawk and I finally had some time together to do a hike while the weather was decent. My body was quite broken on Friday from work, but thankfully I mostly slept it off. Still, I used my judgement and suggested we keep the hike moderate. I found a couple interesting sounding trails in the Sebago Lake area, and Hawk agreed to explore them with me.
Date night! Or… date day/weekend?
It’s been a while since we’ve gotten out for more than a few hours of activities. Hawk & I did have theatre tickets for an evening show on Saturday, but nothing else solidly planned for our time together. However, on this go around, we managed to fill the weekend just about to the brim!
My first suggested addition to the schedule was troll hunting…
The trouble with celebrating an anniversary on Memorial Day weekend is that, typically, no matter where you go, you’re fighting traffic and crowds and all the insanity that goes along with all that. But not this year. Instead, we spent it fighting heat and black flies and mosquitoes, hiking for miles through remote wilderness. Sounds like an anniversary that could become tradition. 😂
Let’s be honest, coastal southern Maine does not have the variety of mountainous hikes to choose from that central NH does. There are plenty of excellent trails, and a few scattered small mountains, but the southern coast simply has less elevation overall than further inland. So we knew we weren’t doing anything too intense within a reasonable driving distance from the Portland area. But of course you know I’m perfectly fine with that.
