We have all been there - at the "easy" hike your friend found on the internet. The only issue is...it is NOT easy, and you are now looking up at a massive mountain you did not prepare for. Picking out the RIGHT hiking trail is critical. Many inexperienced hikers (we all start somewhere) will Google a mountain they want to hike, or type in "easy hikes near XYZ" and go for whatever they see first. If you know the area or mountain you want to hike, I always suggest using the website AllTrails.

If you're already planning out your next weekend adventure in Maine, you might just have "visit a stunning waterfall" on your checklist. The Pine Tree State has a bunch of really good ones, too, including Moxie Falls in Forks, Step Falls in Newry, or Screw Auger Falls in North Oxford. Sure, you could hit those spots up, but you should also consider Angel Falls, a gorgeous hidden gem waterfall you can get to with a relatively short hike. Intrigued? We got you.

For over 20 years the Ames in Seabrook, New Hampshire has been abandoned as life goes on all around it. There's not a whole lot about why this Ames has been abandoned. The company filed for bankruptcy back in 2002, and that's when this location and all others closed. But for most of the locations it has been replaced by something. But not in Seabrook, New Hampshire. And it's sad and spooky. YouTuber Manny Quacioua in 2020, thanks to a request, went and explored the abandoned Ames.

2025 is here, and for many, it's the start of new beginnings. Unfortunately, for some Maine restaurants, it would be the final chapter by the end of January. It's sad to see a business have to close its doors for good, whether they've been open for a short time or for decades. One of the first places to close right after the new year was bon Vivant in Lewiston.

It's not only a way to get outside and enjoy some of the best outdoor spots in Maine, it's also a way to get to know and honor some of Maine's fallen heroes. The Summit Project was started over a decade ago, as a living memorial to honor Mainers who have served in the Armed Forces and passed away.

So, I had a beautiful weekend, family and friends were over, the kids were running around being crazy, we were thoroughly enjoying our Sunday. Little did I know, the visit would end with me having to change my pants, along with everyone else. Let me set the scene for you all: my mom, YiaYia, decided to say yes to dipping her toes into the 21st century by trying Virtual Reality for the first time. We gifted our son with a Meta Quest Oculus for Christmas and the kids were playing with it.
