Yes! The best times are 30 to 60 minutes before sunrise and the same amount of time after sunset.

Honestly, it's been miserable here. This just might be the first time I have seen the sun and blue sky in a week. We have had maybe 3 days this month where the temperatures were anywhere near 70°F. We've had 50's and 60's this month, and we are now supposed to be up around 75°F!

That's horrible. Some summer, eh? Hopefully this weather pattern is changing and you'll have a nicer season. My oldest daughter spent a week up on the coast there earlier this month with the boys. I think it was near Kennebunkport where they went. She loves Maine.

Yes, it's been crappy for certain. Thank you! I hope it gets better soon, too.

That's awesome! I hope she had a great time! I love Kennebunkport, it's gorgeous there.

Isn't that where the Bush family vacations?

Yes, they have a house on Walker's Point.

We definitely have to visit it someday. Have you ever been to Acadia National Park? It's on the list as well; it looks beautiful.

Is that they "Walker" in George Herbert Walker Bush?

I loved Maine too. We used Baxter State Park as our base and had a great time.

What stuff did you do there? And was lobster involved? I loves me some lobstah.

There was some lobster involved. It was an open air "restaurant." It had a spectacular view of the ocean. People sat at picnic tables, and beer was okay, but guests had to leave the beer bottles on the seats where they could not be in plain view of any cops driving by though there was no doubt that it was a "wink and a nod" situation.

Heheheheh. So did you camp? Do any boating? Hiking? Just hang out and chill? Notice I did not ask about swimming. Imagine that swimming in Maine is about like swimming here. Don't do it unless it's in an inland pond. Right now Kichigami's waters are hovering just under 40F. Brrr.

The late wife and I tried to do some canoeing, but it quickly became evident that she did not grasp the concept. The guy in the back has to do the steering. It has to be a cooperative effort.

Baxter State Park is lovely. I encountered my first moose, and it scared the hell out of me. Fortunately, it was used to humans and I knew enough not to make any sudden moves.

One night, after getting high by the campfire, I decided to challenge myself by walking down a roadway. As soon as I lost sight of the glow from the fire, I turned my ass around.

It's really beautiful there. I have also been to Cadillac Mountain. That's a must-see to see the sunrise there.

LOL -- love this story. Don't feel too bad about the canoe thing. Mr. Owl and I tried a tandem kayak once. Just once. Twas on a glacier tour thing in Prince William Sound out of Valdez. I was in the stern cockpit. He kept telling me that I was supposed to steer but somehow the whole thing made no sense to me, so we kept crashing into ice bergs and cussing at each other. Never again, we both decided. lol

It's pretty weird to be out in the forest at night, with no light, isn't it? Even though you tell yourself you're the apex predator in these here parts, it doesn't play.

<scratches in some destinations> Thanks. Hopefully when we finally make it there, we can all meet up in real life!
