Ocean Park Maine

The leaning tower of Maine

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 09:55:00 GMT

We have been traveling Route 26 in Maine a lot lately and finally stopped to take a photo. The scenery along this road is quite spectacular with views of Mount Washington and many lakes a common view. The water tower I have posted though is one of my favorites. As a child I drove past the farm this tank is on every weekend to visit my grandparents farm. We visited my grandparents farm last week and found it converted into a house. No animals except a dog and cat. I ...

The kids were happy we could head to the dock...

Waiting for the warm weather

The shells and dogs were all around us and we had a great time walking the beach. This week should melt some snow and help us get back to work.

Ice Fishing

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 13:42:00 GMT

We finally renewed our fishing licenses and went fishing!We ventured to Highland Lake in Windham, Maine to find the lake empty with exception of three dogs.The ice was 12 inches thick with about two inches of snow on top. Drilling our holes was easy though as our hand auger makes quick work of the ice.The temperature stayed around 22 degrees but the sun warmed us. We only had one flag pop up. But we will try to get out again this week as we still have some shiners l...
