Marking Time in Mid Coast Maine

 

   A "friend" called the other day and asked,"what does a real estate broker do when the market slows down?"   He was trying to bait me into joining him in the gloom and doom whining that so many people seem to want to participate in these days.   But, I'm not rising to that, I've got better things to do.  I live in the greatest place on earth and if my phone's not going to ring (with productive calls) I've got plenty of enjoyable things to do.

    In this particular case my lovely daughter, Natasha and I took Reggie the Wonder Dog to one of the local hills for a hike in the clear fall air.  From the top of the ridge we could look inland to woods and ponds and east to the ocean and the wide horizon.

   We could have gone for a boat ride on the Damariscotta River or a canoe paddle on Pemaquid Lake.  We could have played golf on one of several decidedly uncrowded golf courses.   

   We could have gone hiking at any of about 20 different state maintained areas or conservation land trust spots within about a half hour drive.

   I have no idea what they do down in the city when things get slow.  I guess they just call folks in Maine!

Those are some great pictures! We don't have views like that in Las Vegas! I would love to hike in areas like that!!!

Thanks, Tony. I bet once you get out of the city of Las Vegas itself there is some pretty interesting country for hiking. Even though it's a lot different from coastal Maine!

Beautiful pictures! Sometimes it is easy to forget that outside of the city and beyond the stress there is still such beauty just waiting to be enjoyed.

I am one of the people that gets wrapped up in the office so much that I find little time to go out and actually enjoy life a little, but I am working on changing that. After seeing views like those in the pictures, I may have to do it a little quicker. :)
