Glamping at Maine State Parks! Let's do it!

Who knew that as my girlfriends and I endeavor to visit all the State parks in Maine that glamping would be available?

Wilderness Pines Campground & Outfitters

Not hiking at a Maine State Park today but keeping up with nature in my own back yard.  If you don't know about Wilderness Pines Campground & Outfitters you're missing out on a beautiful spot to enjoy sun, water and fun.  This is where I walk/run when I'm home.  Kim

Stay to the left to go to the campground.
Close by the water for swimming and boating.

Pine Trees

Beautiful center

More pines.

Lots of trails to follow.

And couldn't have made it without my Young Living DIY bug spray!  Continues to make me a believer in how great essential oils are!

Lamoine State Park

As I mentioned in my earlier post, my friend, Martha, and I have set a goal to hike the Maine State Parks.  Joined by another childhood friend, Susie, we began our journey visiting Lamoine State Park in Lamoine, Maine.  Our first discovery was that Maine has hidden gems that most of its residents probably don't know exist.  We hope to share our discoveries so that you might enjoy them through our eyes or plan your own list.

Lamoine State Park is a 55 acre park not far from the beautiful and popular tourist town of Bar Harbor, Maine.  It's oceanside grounds offer meandering trails and campsites that take you away from the crowded streets nearby.

A few miles down the road we discovered a long stretch of quiet secluded beach where we had a chance to bask in the warm sun practically by ourselves.

Can't wait for our next adventure!

I'm Back!

It's been a while since I've written a post on this blog.  I started four years ago when Sarah and I were hiking el Camino de Santiago in Spain.  When we began I soon discovered that indeed the Camino was a difficult road for me.  I had every intention of documenting our journey on this blog, however, it didn't happen.  It was an amazing adventure that I did document on FaceBook (1000 pictures plus captions), but it didn't happen here. What it did do, is lead to a beautiful place with a lot of memories.

I'm back now with some very close friends to continue to be challenged on this road called life.  My long time friend, Martha, and I have made a plan to hike/visit all the State parks in our beautiful State of Maine and share our adventures here.  I hope you enjoy our journey.
