Father's Day weekend is approaching and with it the annual fundraiser for the American Lung Association of Maine - the Trek Across Maine 2008. Two thousand or so participants began the trek this morning at the Sunday River Ski Resort in Bethel, ME, near the border of Maine and New Hampshire. Throughout the weekend they will pedal across the state to the finish line in Belfast, just north of Camden on Route 1. Our one and only jack-of-all-trades innkeeper, athlete, photographer JP is participating in the trek and we wish him and everyone the best of weather conditions and a pleasant, memorable experience.

You, too, can bike in Maine any time. We can arrange bicycle rentals right here at the inn.

It's a gorgeous 74 degrees and sunny here in Camden today. A guest, who is in town for the Maine Media Workshops (the famous school of photography, film and video production), just mentioned to me this morning that she couldn't find a cloud in the sky to photograph.
