On the backside of Portland lies a bay that the town has surrounded in a park/trail system. Meredith, Orvis, and I were lucky enough to try the Back Cove Trail one Saturday afternoon. The trail is 3.5 miles of beautiful Portland skyline scenery, over the calm water of the Back Bay. We had a great time taking in the sights and are hoping to return one evening for some beautiful night skyline pictures.
The following morning, Meredith, Orvis and I had the opportunity to head up to Bradbury Mountain State Park. We spent a good chunk of the morning exploring the trails and searching for the best vistas in this lesser known park, not too far from Portland. As soon as we can get Meredith's mountain bike fitted with better tires, this will soon become our Mountain Bike Stomping Grounds. On a side note, Orvis saw his first horses up close that day - spooked them a little - but was happy to find another giant furry creature to share the day with.
It's so cool to have places like these right next door to provide just the right distraction from our ever-increasing workload, and to help us breathe easy.
