Camping at Walmart B3

 Day: 5/11 Time: 8:08

On our first morning in Maine, Lily and I were blessed with a sauna inside our tent. With the sounds of our neighbor's dogs waking us up we decided to haul ass to Dunkins for our daily coffee. With an unsafe amount of caffeine inside of us, we trekked up Bald Peak, a five-mile “moderately challenging” hike. Let me tell you, this hike was straight up. But, with the gorgeous views, it was totally worth it. Meeting friendly people along the way, searching for out-of-season blueberries, and having good conversation got us through the treacherous terrain. After nearly five hours of a “leisurely hike” we decided to find the nearest public beach and take a quick swim. Moose Pond Beach came in clutch. Reflecting on our time in Maine I’ve come to the realization that although there may not be blueberries in season Lily and I have made a lot of memories and we’re still looking forward to our night camping at Walmart…and our search for more blueberries.

The Causeway at Sunset B2

Day: 5/10 Time: 8:53 Today was filled with more adventurous escapades than the day past. Lily and I filled ourselves with some coffee and hopped on the road this morning. A few hours in we stopped in Ossipee, New Hampshire on a boat launch for some lunch. Then we got on the road again and traveled our way to Pleasant View Blueberry Farm where we ran into a kind farmer who was willing to talk to us about what happens when he’s in the off-season. After another 20-minute drive, we reached Crabtree Farm, another beautiful blueberry farm overlooking some mountains. Later, we made it to our KOA campsite where we met our nice neighbors and set up our sick tent. With the Sebago State Park not far off, Lily and I ventured over to soak up a few rays of sun before heading back to our campsite for dinner.  6 Hours 13/75

The Beginnings of the Book B7

  Day: 5/16 Time: 9:48 The rain blessed Lily and me as we hadn’t planned an excursion today. Instead, I got a little pump in the gym this morning after the daily coffee of course. Eventually, Lily and Cam dropped by Sally to enjoy the nice sunshine on the porch. And…. Lily and I started our book! Yay! We absolutely grinded today. Lots of people came by but we were not willing to be distracted. Our book had our full attention. I think I might have underestimated how long each page will take though. We sketched out everything first, and then we sketched it on watercolor paper, and then we started painting away. Let me tell you the process is exhausting but totally worth it. After an absolutely draining day, Lily and I are excited to see what the future will bless us with.  7 Hours 42/75

The Infamous Kearsarge B8

  Day: 5/17 Time: 8:45 This will be a bit of a different blog post today. I am exhausted. I think what I did today mentally took 20 years off my life. I would like to blame it on the coffee that I didn’t have this morning, but truthfully it was my dog. I started out today with a little workout. That didn’t go well. I was probably in there for 30 minutes. Once I told my mom Lily and I were hiking Kearsarge today she practically begged me to take the dog. I decided it would be the perfect bonding moment for my dog and me. We’ve always had this unspoken understanding that we don’t really get along. I think he knows I like cats. Anyway, I decided it would be fine. My mother promised me no hikers would be around, and that we would be totally fine. So, we venture up Kearsarge. It starts out fine. Beautiful day, with a little breeze, no bugs, and a dog that is behaving. Well, that doesn’t last long. We come up to a mini white hotdog dog in a harness. I’m holding Atlas down with brute forc...
