We spent the past weekend hanging out with our friends Alex
and Hillary near Eustis, Maine. They live right at the base of Sugarloaf Ski
Mountain. Alex works for Vestas commissioning wind turbines and is currently
stationed here. Below are a few pictures of some similar wind turbines that we
passed in NY.
We spent Friday morning just hanging out around their house
doing laundry, watching tv, cooking in a kitchen…all the luxuries you miss when
traveling. We went for a mountain bike ride that afternoon and were able to
just ride from their house which was really neat. There is a fairly new biking
trail system that is built within their cross country ski trails. The riding
was great, as was the scenery. We finished off our ride at the Sugarloaf disk
golf course and played a round of disc golf. Hillary is a really great cook and
we enjoyed hanging out and having dinner that evening.
On Saturday, Alex and Hillary had the day off and we were
able to all go riding together. We started on an old rail trail and then rode
several trails through the area. We spent most of the day exploring on bikes
and picking some mushrooms for dinner. It was a great ride. Normally when Will
and I ride mountain bikes he is lots faster and so just waits for me at the
trail intersections, but with all 4 of us riding, Alex and Will were able to
ride together and so Hillary and I had lots of fun attempting to conquer the
rocks together. We enjoyed an evening soak in the river and hot tub followed by
some pretty amazing barbeque brisket pizza for dinner. Such a great weekend and
lots of fun to be able to spend it with friends. Huge thanks to Alex and
Hillary for letting us hang out with you, sharing your house, and feeding us
lots of good food this weekend!
