Damnable Trail
After hiking a section of the trail in Salvage, Martha picked up a brochure on Damnable Trail. The main hike from Eastport to Salvage is one of the prettiest hikes in the world, and also is very difficult, which made us believe the use of Damnable Trail. However the brochure reads: As far back as…

Lunch at Chucky’s Seafood and Wildgame Restaurant
Sunday, August 11, 2019 My leg being sore, I opted out of hiking for a few days. I offered to take Martha anywhere she wanted to hike, but instead we decided to go to the Burnside Archeological Society. I love driving around all the little coves and harbors. We drove all around cute, little…

Hike Ochre Hill Trail and Sandy Pond
Saturday, August 10, 2019 In the morning we hiked the Ochre Trail, a 4 km easy to moderate trail. It first went beside a pretty pond (natural, as opposed to a lake, which is man-made). I always wonder if there are fish in these pretty ponds that are everywhere. The hike was a bit boring…

Fogo Island
Tuesday, August 6, 2019 We got an early start to make sure we caught the 8:00 ferry to Fogo Island. Two pickups were tailing me closely, like they were late for work, so I pulled over and let them pass. Just around the corner was the lineup for the ferry. We were sure they would…
