Yesterday, in an effort to stay a little cooler and get a little exercise, my dad and I hopped in the car and went off for a hike. Neither of us had ever been to the Kennebec Highlands, so we were thrilled that we found it and managed not to get too lost!
To be fair, it would have been a little hard to get too lost with these arrows marking the way!
At the top of the 4 mile trail, this was the spectacular view of the Belgrade Lakes.
And look what we found on the way down! Blueberries! Not ripe yet, but if the deer don’t eat them over the next month, they’ll be yummy by August!
This is the trail we took. It took us about two hours and twenty minutes. Some of the trail is dirt and leaves, but a lot of it involves climbing over rocks, big and small. We brought hiking poles, but we’re not really sure if they helped. They just made us feel a little extra cool. Ha!
So what’s going on with you, readers? You’ve been quiet lately. What are you all up to?

Nice! Where’s the trailhead for this hike? Maybe we’ll check it out in August. The mailboat adventure also looks fun.
It’s in Rome – I’ll check the directions and send them on to you. I’d recommend both the hike and the mailboat! They were both so awesome!
