Two Off-Trail Adventures near Gilead, Maine


INTRODUCTION: 

Hiking of any type has always been enjoyable to me.  But perhaps due to being raised in a household with a free-range parenting style, I have a particular passion for bushwhacking to land features where there are no trails to lead you there.   
On a day in early September 2019, I nourished my obsession by doing two off-trail adventures in the vicinity of Gilead, ME (see map below).

The views from this jaunt in Maine are incredible! I love the tree-framed view in the first photo.
And I also love the hint of autumn in your "miscellaneous sightings" photo.

I look forward to seeing posts from your autumn treks in the northeast!

Thanks, Rita, for your kind words about this blog posting.
Regarding the upcoming autumn season, I so look forward to it every year. Intellectually, I know that this season is short-lived. Nonetheless, each year I have a Utopian hope that it linger on and on. ☺
