We did our annual pub crawl to the Rockport pub for some good company and brews on Saturday. It's always great to get together with old friends. The next day we visited Baker Lake and the Birdview Brewery. The weather was beautiful, food and brews were excellent too.

I had a good three day weekend . . . went up north camping . . . hiked in to the site of an old pulp wood operation where when it ended the company just abandoned the locomotives and tramway there in the deep Maine north woods. It's pretty cool to be walking along and then all of a sudden you see tracks in middle of the woods with large trees growing up through them . . . and not a single railroad tie. Lots of other materials -- old barrels, old train cars for moving the pulp, two locomotives (converted to burn oil -- 1920s vintage) and a tramway powered by a huge boiler.
