Searsport Maine to Machias to Cutler

 A lovely stay and visit to Captain John P Nichols' mansion...

dating back to 1860's with charm and character from the days of old.  Reminding us of the seafaring heritage brought over with the English sailors.

The Homeport Inn and Tavern is a treasure beautifully restored along with the English Pub located in the basement entertaining us a with her convivial atmosphere. 

From Searsport we drove up to Bucksport and made a stop to visit Fort Knox and Penobscot Narrows Bridge.

A 19th century granite fort with tunnels that need to be explored.

Further up the coast to Cutler - known as the Bold Coast of Maine.  

So many well maintained trails to go exploring.  The further up the coast we went...

the fewer people we saw.  

We've come to appreciate the less "people-y" places on our adventures.  

enjoy,
