One of my favorite things to do is take my camera on the road, capture unique moments and see obscure places. I share my adventures and misadventures in this travel and photography journal to help you learn from my experiences. Time on the road goes by quickly, and you see a lot in a short period of time. When you return from an exotic locale, sometimes the pictures are all you have to remind yourself of the moment. Keep shooting!

hike: kebo to dorr mountain loop

Dorr Mountain is the third highest mountain on Mount Desert Island, and was next on my list as I try to hike each of them from highest to lowest. It is steeper than hiking Cadillac, which makes it a bit harder.

hike: 4 peaks, a death march

Are you looking to climb every mountain? We gave it a go – this was a long hike, but perfect for a clear fall day. Parkman – Gilmore – Sargent – Cedar Swamp, for the over-achievers, add Bald Peak and hit 5 peaks!

hike: why cadillac? there’s a road you know…

As it turned out this was an easy hike. It was long, but pretty easy, a gradual incline up and a gradual incline down. There were beautiful views, and at the top there were hundreds of people, who drove up.
