Evan's Girlfriend

A highlight of the week was hosting Evan's girlfriend for a couple nights and getting to know her. She got a good close-up view of his family and, strangely, did not run away or sneak off when nobody was looking. I think that's a good sign. 

 

With Family in Cushing

 After almost a week of tramping and visiting with friends in Robbinston it was time to head asouthwardwise to the central Maine coast. We gathered with family near Cushing and enjoyed unusually good weather most of the week:

Tramping Across "Downeast" Maine

 The northern Maine coast is known as "Downeast" even though it goes all the way to Canada. This is where John R. and I went exploring remote properties for sale. Most of the properties required breaking trail through dense undergrowth, which was both fun and exhausting. We were rewarded by some of the most beautiful and unspoiled coastal views in Maine. John appeared a bit reckless on the high cliffs above the ocean. Luckily he didn't slip or fall off. Note the lobster boat in the lower picture.
