New England

For the last week I have been in Maine with the Begin family. They live in a town called China just outside Waterville. I have been roofing a bit, and more recently Brent came into town and we have gone on a couple adventures. We picked him up in Portland then B-lined it to the coast. We hiked a "mountain" (hardly a mountain compared to the West, more of a hill, or a bump) called Mt. Battie. At the top was an amazing view of Camden and the Atlantic ocean. This is possibly the best fall colors I have been to date.

Hiking up the mountain. We actually lost the car keys on this trail and as you can see they would not be the easiest thing to find on a trail with that much foliage. Some other hikers ended up finding them and we were able to retrieve them.

At the top of mount Battie.
We decided to pick up a few lobster, isn't that standard when visiting Maine? I wanted to try the difference between Maine lobster and California lobster. I thought the California lobster were better, but it could have been how fresh they were and because I dove for them.
The Maine coast is something special.
