Update 9/30/24
Well a lot has happened in the 4 days since the last update. Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina HARD. Just about everything is shut down. Trees down everywhere. One of the two roads for us to get out of our neighborhood is blocked by a landslide. We lost electric, water, cell service and internet. We […]
Update 9/26/24
So I got a surprise text today from the Dirt Work Guys, the company that I had called about putting in a road to my camp. If you recall, they had said they would try to get out and take a look at the job sometime this fall but they would not be able to […]
Day 6
So today was a lot of driving. 4.5 hours down to New Hampshire and 4.5 hours back.There were several good reasons for making that 9 hour trek. I went down to Jen and Austin’s (my niece and nephew-in-law) house to pick up a solar panel that had been delivered after I had stopped at their […]

Day 3

Day 2
Day one was overall a very successful day. I got up to the area of the cabin and stopped by the Waite General Store and met Wayne and Joe, the couple that runs the Waite General Store. I got a couple of subs and a lot of good information. They have Post Office boxes there […]
Still driving to camp
Driving up here on Interstate 95, it’s clear that Maine is just a beautiful state. The interesting part is that the leaves have started to change up here. Just started. So fall is on its way.
Day 1
Day 1 – Driving to the camp Chapter 1, The adventure begins. I’m on my way up, to our new, 120 acre, Camp on Patten Pond in Talmadge Maine. I’m excited, but it’s a combination of what have I done, and what have I gotten myself into with, I can’t wait to get up there […]
