While in York, I decided to stop in at a place I've been dying to check out for some time now but have never been just 'in the area'. Mt. Agamenticus is the highest point in Southern Maine and was actually a place to downhill ski at one time. It has many walking trails that lead up to the summit, but you can also drive there which made it nice to check out the view! Ok, we cheated and I know it but I WILL be making the trip to hike it this summer. You can visit their site for more information located here: http://www.agamenticus.org/ and their trail map can be found at this link as well as on their site: http://www.agamenticus.org/pdfs/trailmap.pdf

Yeah - we're going back.
That was one windy place, but gorgeous view when you didn't feel like you was getting blown away!! ; )
