Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a Ride!' ~Hunter S. Thompson

Getting Ready for Vacation! Maine, Here We Come!

I know, I know. The last post was about how embarrassing it was to not have posted in a year. Now it's been 2 more. I am beyond embarrassed, but there is little I can do about it now. 

This summer we are returning to Bar Harbor, Maine for a week of hiking and camping. We went last year to celebrate our 25th anniversary and this year we are taking some company! My sister and her husband will join us!. We will not be taking motorcycles and while I know this blog is supposed to be about motorcycle rides, I am going to use it to document the trip. So you can pretend that the trip was on a motorcycle or whatever makes you feel ok about it. 

The trip is going to be a blast. Two weeks total. We will tent camp up through VA, PA, NY, CT, NH, VT, and ME. Then we will stay in one of the wonderful one room cabins at Hadley's Pointe in Bar Harbor. 

So beginning at the end of the month, the blog will go live and you can follow along with pictures and commentary on the food and fun! Hope to "see" you here then! In the meantime, here are a few pics from last year to get you prepped! 

A real Vermont covered bridge!

Whale Tails in Maine!

One of the many lighthouses on the Main coast.

Our first day of hiking!

Maine without Paul Bunyan doesn't count.
