We hiked up a trail that was labeled “intermediate”, but turned out to be pretty strenuous clambering over boulders. We aren’t sure what “difficult” would mean in this context but we’re pretty glad we didn’t take that trail. For the record, “Easy” means wheelchair accessible.

Nothing like an hour in at the Newark Airport to dispel the ideal that the US is mostly homogeneous. If all those freaky New Jersey people hang out in at the airport, I wonder what it’s like at the DMV.

This photo was taken on the trip out, we’re still in Maine (Rockland).

Happy Birthday Jeff!

I guess there’s some disagreement over the name. Our hosts call it Jimmy Pond, but I’m going with what’s printed on the sign. We like it so much yesterday, we went back for some more swimming today.
