September 1st:

Beech Hill Preserve

We took one of our days off from the campground to explore Beech Hill Preserve, a nearby park with a hefty hike through the woods. At the end of the trail sits a stone house with a thatched roof located on the top of a hill that oversees penobscot bay on one side and valleys of wildflowers on the other.

There were people enjoying the sunny weather at the top of the hill, having picnics in the grass, flying kites, riding their bikes, and relaxing with a good book.

Penbay Wellness Trail

After our hike through Beech Hill Preserve, we stopped at the Penbay Wellness Trail, a small and easy walking trail that neighbors the local hospital. The trail meets the shore in one section, so we climbed down the rocks to scout for sea glass in the stones. We found some great pieces including my first sea marble.

Our hosts, Catherine and Scott, invited us to dinner at the Flatbread Pizza Co. down the street. We rode in style in Scott’s Model A. We had a great dinner and great conversation with our new friends.
