Beautiful Fall Foliage

As the weatherman predicts snow and driving rain to end our beautiful fall, we want to share some photos of what it has been like here for the past few weeks. The trees have been absolutely beautiful this fall, with more color and longer lasting color than usual. We have driven around the immediate area, driven to Portage, and made a trip down Route 11 as far as Sherman to enjoy the views.

These beautiful trees are on the camp road, just above our camp.

This is also the camp road at Portage.

What a great fall scene here! That would make a great painting!

Great colors reflected in the water at the lake.

The leaves have fallen on the path leading down to the camp.

The boat ramp at Portage looking across to the hillsides.

This farm was in Perham, a beautiful spot in the fall.

As this season also comes to an end, we hope you enjoy our look at the beauty of it.

To King's Landing with Bridget and Jessica

We have had an incredibly busy past two weeks, and we will share the highlights of it here. As you can see in the photo, we visited the Mt. Katahdin lookout with Bob, Bridget, and Jessica. Bob and Jessica came to visit for four days and Jessica met them in Bangor to help with the ride. here we have Gary holding Bridget as Jessica look on.

On Friday of last week we visited King's Landing on a beautiful fall day. Here you can see the serenity and beauty of this village.

The village was in the height of their fall preparations, with the Canadian Thanksgiving just a week after we were there.

We rode on this wagon to get back to the Visitor Center. Jess had an allergic reaction after the horse ride, we suspect the horses set it off.

The store was well stocked with vintage items, and a shopkeeper to talk to the visitors.

We ate dinner at the tavern. Here you see Jessica and Louise looking over the menus. We were disappointed that the choices on the menu have been reduced to two.

Here we have Bob and Bridget. Bridget is inspecting her grilled cheese sandwich. She had a great time in the dining room with two other little girls, one of them named Bridget!

Later in the day we returned home by way of the pumpkin farm in Presque Isle. Bridget enjoyed a ride on the toy tractor.

Bridget enjoyed her trip and is seen here having a story with Grampy.
