Reid State Park

 This is a nice State Park. Multiple large beaches and some woods trails. One of the main car roads was closed for the season. We had bikes so that worked out well. We also rode our bikes on the beach at the end of the closed road. The area around the State Park also has about ten preserves with trails so we can spend another day in this area at some point.














Outside the park. A local pottery store and a short river walk:


All the preserves in the area:








Popham Beach, Fort Popham

 A nice area and a nice day for it. Maybe 80 at the house today but 70 at the ocean. Popham Beach is probably popular in the summer but still pre-season. We walked the beach North toward the fort. The beach can be very deep or not here depending on the tide. The fort is interesting with one side in the water. Since it is about 10 foot thick stone it has managed since 1860. We saw many seals in the water near the fort. 
















Seal. We saw many today:




Robinson's Rock. There was a sign that said they signaled Munjoy Hill in Portland from here!

Sebago Lake

 Waiting for the water temp to go up 20 degrees so we can go swimming.

Collared Lizard Day

 I went to the Colorado NM and went on the Monument Canyon to Wedding Canyon loop. Many lizards out today for some reason. I saw three Collared Lizards during the hike and numerous other types.
