MOUNT PARKER + SUMMIT TURKEY. I liked the small wa MOUNT PARKER + SUMMIT TURKEY. I liked the small waterfalls in the creek at the beginning and the crowds of evergreens near the top. But the best part of hiking Mount Parker was the human-sized turkey waddling around at the summit, shaking its tail feathers and making all kinds of noise. It danced ans shuffled a bit, too. Nice turkey, @kbeverleywaters. 😆🦃 . Also, the view is stupendous. . #hiking #nh #newhampshireismygym #fall #outdoors #optoutside #turkey #thanskgiving #adventure

Photo by Julia Rhinelander (who, and this is a true story, we met during the hike up last Saturday, and we loitered together at the summit and learned she lives not far from me and is cool as heck and now we can hike together again any time we want, proving new friends CAN be made during a pandemic). Nice. . #maine #hiking #outdoors #maineismygym #idocoolshitinmaine #maineadventure #newrymaine #newfriends #hikeon
NEW WORD: NATATORIUM. "A swimming pool, especially NEW WORD: NATATORIUM. "A swimming pool, especially one that is indoors." . While it's true our car windows are frosting over at night and snow has already fallen in parts of the state, it is still swimming season.  . I don’t mean those bold souls who splash into the Atlantic all winter long (I admire those people tremendously, even though I do not understand them at all); I'm talking about the sweet temperature-regulated and highly chlorinated splendor of an indoor swimming pool. . The swimming lanes are open again at a few Portland-area pools, including the Riverton pool on Forest Avenue, the Davan pool in Westbrook, and the pool at South Portland’s Community Center. . Procotols are in place - like advanced registration, limited number of people in the pool, temperature checks upon arrival, mask wearing at all times until you are in the water, and limited access to changing rooms (after swimming and only to change into dry clothes). . As with all things, pools can go from open to not open based on current covid information, so check the websites/call the pools for up-to-date info. .

MOUNT ROBERTS. Popped over the border yesterday to MOUNT ROBERTS. Popped over the border yesterday to hike Mount Roberts in NH with @jumpintojourneys. This mountain is in the Castle in the Clouds area overlooking Lake Winnepesaukee. It's steep enough to get the blood pumping and offers standout views from a handful of overlooks on the way up. . #hiking #nh #newhampshireismygym #adventure #fall #outdoors #getout
GOOSE EYE MOUNTAIN. What a freaking treat of a day GOOSE EYE MOUNTAIN. What a freaking treat of a day. Goose Eye Mountain is a wonder. The second-highest peak in the Mahoosuc Range of the White Mountains, the trailhead is a short drive from Sunday River, where I met up with @sketchyzetchy who's working on the mountain this winter. Featuring river crossings (and a sweet swimming hole or two), entertaining scrambles, and expansive above-treeline views, the Wright Trail is now a favorite. It doesn't get the fanfare it deserves, and even on a stunner of a day like yesterday, Holly and I saw only 4 other people. One was Julia, who we met on the way up and is now a new friend and future adventure partner. At the top we sat in the warm sun gawking at the parade of summits before us, pleased as punch about new sights, new friends, and a future that feels a little bit brighter. . #hiking #maine #fall #outdoors #maineismygym #idocoolshitinmaine #adventure

FREDDY KREUGER HIKES. When he's not shredding teen FREDDY KREUGER HIKES. When he's not shredding teens in their sleep, Freddy Kreuger loves to get into the woods for some time on the trail, enjoying the fresh air and self care. "My job is a nightmare," he said. "Hiking is how I relax and find positive headspace, so I can get back to killing it at work with renewed enthusiasm and creativity." . * Note to all hikers, if you want to ensure strangers keep their distance on the trail, wear knives on your hand. It works! . #hiking #halloweenhike #outdoors #freddykreuger #costume #nightmare
SOUTH + MIDDLE MOAT MOUNTAINS. The summit views ar SOUTH + MIDDLE MOAT MOUNTAINS. The summit views are stupendous! Or so I've heard. Couldn't see a darn thing yesterday, aside from a few sporadic glimpses between fast-moving clumps of clouds. But the mist hanging in the air on the trail gave this hike a wonderfully other-wordly feel. I may also have reenacted a few scenes from The Labyrinth. . #hiking #nh #fall #fallfoliage #outdoors #idocoolshitinnh
FORK IN WIND. Got the fork outside yesterday with FORK IN WIND. Got the fork outside yesterday with a hike up South and Middle Moat Mountains near Conway, NH. Low-lying clouds hindered the views almost entirely, but there were a few glimpses here and there, so I thought I'd stand the fork in front of that view for a nice Halloween-inspired hiking photo. . Turns out this particular piece of flatware is no match for strong winds. The fork flipped and fork flopped. But I DID confuse (and delight?!) several passersby, which is pretty much my goal every day of my life. . #halloween #hiking #nh #fall #hikeincostume #forkit #outdoors
