Why Meandering Maine?

Meandering Maine may be the new kid on the block but our roots go deep in Maine.  I grew up in the Mid-Coast and parts of my family are original settlers.

I am one of the many people who left Maine right out of high school.  And one of the fortunate to have returned.  I have been to different parts of the world, barring none, nothing compares to the majestic draw of Maine.  I believe that’s why so many choose to call this place home – whether they live in Florida and return for one week out of the year, they come back after years of exile or they never left – Maine is home.  It’s the spirit of the people who call Maine home that draws others to visit our rugged, scenic shoreline drives, funky, inland villages or our enchanting local inns year after year.  That’s the Maine we love and that’s Maine everyone’s looking for – that’s Meandering Maine.  Love Maine!

October in the North Woods

by Don Kleiner - Maine Outdoors

I spent the week guiding grouse and woodcock hunters at Libby Camps in the North Maine Woods. It is always a joy to work with other professionals delivering a great experience. There is nothing like visiting a sporting camp in Northern Maine. First the vastness of the country is always impressive, as is the almost complete silence when you are out in the woods. Meals are always an event and it is a hard job to not eat way more than I should. Not to mention desserts that are usually fresh baked and delicious.

The dogs are in their glory working each day from beginning to end and loving every minute. Copper the young pointer is coming into her own after three years and Mae the older dog is very much an old pro. Finding birds regularly and with great style. Woody the golden retriever does not get as much time as he would like but sees some time hunting each day. We were all part of the filming of a video on upland bird hunting at Libby Camps that will be posted to their web site later this winter. I'll post a link when it is available this winter.

Needless to say all four of us are enjoying a slightly different guiding schedule from now until early November.

Take a Walk ‘Round Hockomock

The drive down Keene Neck Road off Route 32 in Bremen is an inviting and charming prelude that creates anticipation for a beautiful walk in this seaside wildlife sanctuary.   Step out of the car and your senses are met by the ocean air and glimpses of spruce lined shores.
