An arctic blast of cold air has swept through the Northeast this week; temperatures have topped out in the 20s and 30s. All of a sudden, here in central Maine, winter seems to be on its way.
I recently returned from a three-day hunting trip in northern Maine without a buck.
I blame the weather. It was unseasonably warm each day, meaning that the whitetail deer were more likely bedded down than walking around. At least, that's my excuse.
Well, I moved to Waterville about three weeks ago, and so far the extent of my hiking exploration has centered on the Perkins Arboretum trail system at Colby College. It's nice and close for me, and makes for a really enjoyable walk in the woods.
