Pictures from our trip to Maine, January 2003.  (Who goes to Maine in January?)  Click any picture for a larger image.

The family farmhouse in Alton Maine, near Bangor.  Bob's mother grew up here.  Reed (Bob's cousin) and Karen (Reed's wife) live here now.
Left:  Reed in the kitchen.  Right, clockwise from the back:  Jane, Carrie (Reed's mother), Reed, Mary (Carrie's cousin), and Karen.

Other views of the farm and surrounding land.

 

Jane and Bob set off on a day trip to the Maine coast.  Yes, it was cold...  note the ice in the foreground.  But the landscapes were pretty.

Day three:  Cross-country skiing!  This should be fun.  Bob and Jane have never done this before.
As this picture shows.
Karen demonstrates how it really should be done.  (At least we were all dressed properly for the cold!)


After skiing, we stopped at the cabin, built by Grampie (Reed and Bob's grandfather).  Reed's father Virgil added the front porch.  Jeff (center photo) stopped by for coffee before going out to cut some trees.

Our trek into the "gnarly forest."  Below, Reed and Karen pose next to what is perhaps a record-breaking white birch tree.
