Height of Land, Rangeley Plantation, Maine

Sylvie is back on the road again! Life changed in March for everyone, so our plans to head to the American west are postponed for now. We are planning to spend time visiting places in Maine and maybe other northeastern states and eastern Canadian provinces.

We crossed the Appalachian Trail again.

We are very lucky to have friends who let us park in their driveway and plug into their electricity in Rangeley!

We drove around Rangeley to see the sights, including the Stephen Philips Preserve, and Rangeley Lake State Park, with its beautiful beach. Then we undertook a “walk” up Bald Mountain. Someone said it had been done in flip-flops – not me! It was not an easy climb, through swarming mosquitos and scrambling up rocks!
Fire Tower at the top of Bald Mountain: Beautiful views in every direction!

Then there was the scramble back down Bald Mountain. Two miles up and two back. It was very worthwhile in the end!

We enjoyed another beautiful sunset over Mooselookmeguntic.

The next morning we headed west and south by Route 16 and Route 26 through New Hampshire and on to Stoneham, Maine, where we had a nice lunch and visit with Doug’s brothers Clay and John, and John’s wife Bette. Along the way we saw one small moose, too briefly to photograph!

  1. Great to see you both finally back out on the road exploring! Looks like the hike up Bald Mountain was indeed worth it, and glad you got to visit friends and family in the area too!
