Back in November, I found myself with friends at Camden Hills State Park in Camden, Maine.

This is one of my favorite spots for a day hike. There are beautiful overlooks with views of offshore islands and the town of Camden. They have an excellent campground as well. We were a bit surprised to find a light coating of snow on the ground, which turned into a couple of inches as we gained elevation.

It was a beautiful sunny day and the PN-20 had great reception. Nothing new there. I was able to convince my reluctant buddies to follow me on a bushwhack down a portion of the mountain. The PN-20 guided us reliably and when we hit the trail we were aiming for they were visibly relieved. They now have faith in GPS! I can’t wait for some serious snow to allow for some serious creative trail creation.

We capped the day off wonderfully with dinner at Moody’s diner in Waldoboro, ME. This is the real reason I come up the coast, thick chocolate frappes, grilled cheeses with bacon and , amazing deserts, yum yum yum. Moody’s is a quintessential diner, in operation since 1934.  Be sure to make the stop if you are in the area, it is not to be missed.

Take it easy!
