Maine Mazed Coast

Introducing...
The Maine Coast!

I finally got my dad's old camera to work, so here are a few photos:)

This is the view from the Camden Hills- one of the only places on the Maine Coast around 1000 ' tall instead of 100 '. It's about an hour North of Wiscasset where I live:)
One of my housemates Ruthie and I went mountain biking and backpacking here last weekend!

The Maine coast is crazy cool; "wicked cool" would be the Maine lingo-lots of islands and inlets and crazy water ways and islands- the end of the last ice age 12,000 years ago...
left knobby hills and steep valleys and tonz of meltwater moving through valleys..

...this is how it was explained to me: the coast is a sponge that was compacted during glaciation and is slowly expanding upwards... I'm no geologist, but the coastline is pretty sweet eh?
Ruthie and our little home:)


View from our Tent...Europe's out there somewhere...

Flight of the bumble bee...or is it black fly? maybe mosquito?
the bugs were plentiful at sunset

Mountain Biking...sand, rocks, mud, rusty water pipes, you name it...Good times...

yay for trees.

yay for a view outside the trees:)

oh ya, the sun doesn't set over the ocean over here...Still gettin used to this East Coast stuff.

Girl time on the beach

This is me, Leah T., and Ruthie our friend and co-worker Emma's graduation last Sunday- We had to represent Chewonki love with plenty of flare for everyone:) Good times.

I'm keepin pretty busy, this is my last week of encampment before I go through wilderness trip training and life guard training- In July/August I'll be leading some 1 week canoe trips and a 3 week backpacking/canoe trip on the Appalachian trail...

Excited for a trip to Cali in about 2.5 weeks!
That's it for now, gotta go prep for my lessons for my last week of Outdoor Classroom of the Spring!
