We got to check into our adorable cabin early. We booked it through Northern Outdoors (HIGHLY RECOMMEND). Then we set off to hike part of the Applachian Trail. We did the Pleasent Pond Mountain trail. It was a good hike but we were exhausted by the time we got back to the car!!! haha. I didn't realize this until we were leaving and got out to the road. There was a HUGE AT sign which is the start/end (pending which way you start on the trail) of the Appalachian Trail!!! I was psyched.
Then we decided we wanted to go see Moxie Falls. For those of you who don't know this, Moxie Falls is the tallest waterfall in New England. It's 90ft tall. It was pretty but there wasn't much to do so I'd say we were there all but a half hour!
Our next adventure was in search of salad to make with our pasta. We went to this one store which was smaller than a Honey Farms but was more like a hardware store! LOL. Soooo we bought some Mikes Lemonade. Then, we went 20 miles the other way to find the other grocery store which was like a small convenient store. We found lettuce and parmesan cheese and dressing so that was our salad. We got back to our cabin after and cooked ourselves some grub. Pasta with sauce (loved how the can opener was BROKEN) and lettuce with dressing and cheese!! Gourmet meal right there!!! We were then exhausted from our day and decided to take an hour nap before getting ready to go out!!!!
The Northern Outdoors has a nice lounge where they have music on Saturday nights. Sooo once we got ready, we headed down to hang with the rest of the people who were staying with Northern Outdoors. They had cornhole games going on, music, people in the hot tub, people at the bar, in the arcade room, etc. It was a good time. We went to the arcade and people just came up to us and started talking. Then they invited us to watch them and learn to play cornhole (yes, I've never played it before). While they were playing, I was in the hot tub!!! I mean, how can you resist??? It was a good time. We met a few cool people and we even met an attractive guy who invited us to continue drinking at his cabin! It was a good night to say the least.
The next day, we went white water rafting down the Kennebec River. It was soo much fun. Kind of wimpy though. I think I would do a harder river next time!!! It was so much fun though. A girl on our raft fell out, we got to go swimming, had yummy steak (the pasta salad, rice, etc were alright), and I got to sport a wet suit!!! It was a good time. Then on our way home I started to fall asleep. I hate doing that to people when they are driving but I couldnt keep em open. I think I took like an hour or two nap!
I loved it. June 26-27, 2010.
