Beal’s Island, June 2025.
My first ancestors to come to Maine settled on Beal’s Island. Distant relatives still live here but the lineage I’m directly descended from have lived a few hours south down the coast for the past 5 or so generations.

October 30, 2013: it was mostly downhill today. I only tripped and face planted once. Good thing no one saw me.
At the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC), I did laundry and ate lunch. When Pivot Dude arrived, we shared a six pack. At dinner he tried to yogi a night with the waitress, but she said no. So we hiked by headlamp to the next shelter.

Hiked the Lake Cheakamus Trail today with its amazing reflective turquoise waters. I'm sure millions of people have taken a picture at this exact place at the end of the trail, but retirement hiking lets me go on a weekday in the off-season, and I did not see a single other person until 7 miles into a 10 mile hike (also, I started early when it was chilly, foggy, and dark, which probably helped)

It has been mild overall the past month, just short cool spells, weak upper troughs except for the one 10/06. Still, we are at 45N E of the Divide w some altitude. Thus -2C start of attempt get to 2920m Timberline Lk., on that trail 8K up. Start 2350m on steep N facing wall W-Fork Cyn. Up thru 2008 Cascade burn for 6K even in steep side gulch. Only 10-15cm powder where we turned back almost to the lake, feet got cold, -6C lite N breeze. Glad we still did it 👍🏽. #climate #hiking #dogs #montana

Hiking around Fort Flagler State Park and Marrowstone Island last few days, lots of cool beach, trails and ruins to explore. #Hiking #AltText
