Entry 11

My adoptive mother Kimberly is at Town and Country Inn in Gorham New Hampshire until Sunday afternoon. The White Mountain Dart Tournament is this weekend She is there with Pam, Francine, Amy, Michelle, Sam, Leslie, Jeff, Jenn, Kirsten, Vicki, Eric, Terry, Tom, Brianna, Luis, Hannah, Cali, Bill Bell, Robin, Andrea, April, Bette, and Debby. I cannot help but wonder if Dillon and his dad are going to be there this weekend too.

We used to go to Town and Country Inn with Pam and our adoptive mother when we were teenagers, and I always loved going. We used to stop at the general store in North Conway on our way. It was a stopping point so everyone could get the chance to get out of the car and stretch their legs and walk around. I used to absolutely LOVE walking around the place. There was always so much to see. We even used to get lunch at Horsefeathers Tavern right next door. But between the hotel and the general store, I would take $500 out of my bank account just for the trip.

And the hotel? The hotel was my favorite part. Pam always made sure we had the best room at the hotel. The main building had the dart halls and the restaurant. Sometimes, I would sit in the restaurant and write because it was the quietest place. I even got a meal there if I did not want to go back to the room. The second building had the arcade, and the pool.

The arcade had some of my favorite games, which meant that I would be in there for hours on end. Someone always had to come looking for me to make sure that I was taking breaks to eat. And the games I would play were:

-> Pinball -> Pacman

-> Wild Hunter -> Midway Gunfight

-> Candy Claw -> Plushie Claw

I would start my day at the arcade, and finish it there. Well...minus lunch and dinner, of course. Most nights, we would order take out to avoid spending money at the hotel restaurant. Pizza, Subs, Italian, etc.

The pool, however, was probably one of the best places for me to hang out. The pool area was complete with a hot tub, a sauna, and a steam room. If I did not want to get wet, or if I wanted to relax after going for a swim, I would sit on one of the lounge chairs with a good book; usually fantasy fiction.

I always loved this trip. I wish I could have gone back there at least one more time.

World Heritage Day 

Visit and support your local cultural icons and monuments, or travel to see some of the remarkable cultural heritage sites from all over the wide world.

Every day people all over the world celebrate their cultural heritage, simply by living their lives in a way that embodies who they are and where they came from. But one day a year is set aside to celebrate the joint history and heritage of the human race. World Heritage Day encourages us to celebrate all the world’s cultures, and to bring awareness to important cultural monuments and sites, and to espouse the importance of preserving the world’s cultures.

Learn about World Heritage Day

World Heritage Day, which is also known as the International Monuments and Sites Day, celebrates the work carried out by the ICOMOS – International Council on Monuments and Sites. The day is all about increasing the awareness of the importance of the diversity of cultural heritage and preserving it for generations in the future. Ancient monuments and buildings are an asset to us all around the world. However, they need to be protected to ensure that they continue to be an asset for years and years to come. Therefore, the day is a collective effort of communities around the globe.

On this day, there are a number of different events that happen all over the world. This includes a wide range of activities, conferences, and visits to heritage sites and monuments. For those who are unaware, a heritage site is basically a place that is of cultural significance. It preserves the legacy of intangible attributes and physical artifacts of a society or group that is inherited from previous generations.

There are truly some incredible heritage sites and monuments around the world. This includes the Machu Picchu, which is situated in the lush and mountainous terrain high above the Urubamba River in Peru. There are lots of amazing sights in Egypt, and the Pyramids of Giza are one of them. Other places of note include Bagan in Myanmar, Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and the Great Wall of China.

History Of World Heritage Day

So the first (and possibly most confusing?) part of World Heritage Day is that that actually isn’t it’s a formal name. What is popularly known as World Heritage Day is actually called The International Day for Monument and Sites and was established in 1982 by the International Council for Monuments and Sites, or ICOMOS. This organization was established on the principles set forth in the Venice Charter, otherwise known as the 1964 International Charter on the Conservation and Restoration of Monuments and Sites.

The organization was founded after a need was identified to protect these valued locations, and it saw the coming together of experts from hundreds of related fields. These include architects, engineers, geographers, civil engineers, and artists and archaeologists. Each year they work to help ensure that some of the world’s most beautiful sites and important cultural monuments remain preserved for future generations.

Since it’s inception it has grown to include almost 10,000 members in over 150 countries all over the world. Of these 10,000 members over 400 are members from institutions, national committees, and international scientific committees, all working together to save important sites and identify new ones that need to be added to the watch list.

2016 saw the addition of Gorham’s Cave Complex in the UK, the Khangchendzonga National Park in India, and the Persian Qanat in the Islam Republic of Iran. It’s through the tireless efforts of its members and leadership that these places will be preserved for future generations.

There is a theme that is assigned to each World Heritage Day. We would definitely recommend taking a look at the theme for each year, as it will help to give you some direction regarding how to celebrate the day. For example, some of the themes in recent years have included the likes of “Rural Landscapes” and “Shared Cultures, Shared Heritage, Shared Responsibility.”

How to celebrate World Heritage Day

Perhaps the most important way to celebrate World Heritage Day is to search out those locations near you that count as World Heritage Sites, and perhaps pay them a visit. Before doing so research the site and find out what steps are needed to protect it, and respect them during your visit. If you’re feeling more proactive, then perhaps consider submitting a site that you feel is worthy of being protected for it’s cultural importance to ICOMOS. Don’t let an important site disappear from the world, do your part on World Heritage Day to raise awareness and preserve it for future generations.

You should also take a look online to see if there are any events going on in your local area in honor of World Heritage Day. You will find that a lot of events take place to try and increase awareness regarding the preservation of important buildings and monuments. You can get involved in one of these events so that you can lend your support to these important causes. It should not be too difficult to find out what is going on in your local area. If your community has a local Facebook group, you can refer to this for more details.

It is also a good idea to spread awareness regarding this day with the people that you know. This is something you can do with ease via social media. You can post a message that informs your friends, followers, and family members of this day and encourage them to post something too. You could post a photo of one of the best international sites you have visited or one that is on your bucket list, and then ask your followers to reply with their choice. This is a great way of getting everyone involved and raising awareness about this date!

2. Autumn in Acadia

Hey there! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Before I dive into the fun stuff, I want to take a moment to set the intention of these posts.

First, a little bit of background-- I began my photography journey in December 2019, taking the leap of faith and buying a DSLR (I cannot recommend Black Friday camera deals enough!) and committing to learning the art I've always gravitated towards. Now, I'm going into my 5th year of taking photography seriously (!!!) and I've finally hit the point where I feel confident sharing my work for the world to see.

That's where these posts come in!

We all know that a photo is worth a thousand words (eye-roll). But I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. I think that the story behind the photo is what makes you actually care about the image you're looking at. Plus, I have so many fun memories tied to all of these photos, and documenting them is also important to me!

Okey dokey! With my intention set, allow me to introduce this month's drop, Autumn in Acadia, depicting the splendor of fall in Acadia National Park!

My husband and I love Acadia. It's the closest National Park to us (clocking in at a solid 5.5 hour drive) and it is worth every single second of that drive. So much so that we've gone every year since our first visit in 2020.

Out of our four trips to Acadia, two have been in October. Fall in Acadia is a magical experience, and there's a good reason for the nickname "Crown Jewel of the North Atlantic Coast". Even though these two visits weren't anywhere near the 'peak' of foliage season, they were still truly stunning in their own right.

Our first visit was in October of 2020.

Yep. I know. Fully in the thick of the pandemic, in that sweet spot where the initial panic had subsided, but was replaced with existential dread. We were no longer in an inter-state travel ban (remember that?), and we were desperate to get the f*** out of our tiny box of an apartment. At this point, we sure as sh*t weren't going to fly, so Acadia was it.

That trip remains one of the best ones of all time, despite being squarely in peak COVID times. If I were to describe Acadia in three words or less, I would say Acadia most embodies the 'traditional beauty' of the Northeast Coast. You know the kind- the rough seas and rugged coastlines, deep emeralds, and, for an all too brief part of the year, dazzling oranges, crimson, and yellow. It's damn near impossible not to get swept up in your surroundings here. Everything here feels so rich, powerful, and dynamic. There's a damn good reason why this is the 10th most visited national park in the country.

Over the course of our long weekend, we managed to hit SO MANY iconic spots in the park. We:

Hiked Jordan Pond and the Bubbles

Hiked Beech Mountain

Froze our butts off stargazing atop Cadillac Mountain

Hiked the Beehive and Gorham Mountain loop

Checked out Thunder Cove (no thunder, unfortunately. This phenomenon has continued to elude us)

Checked out Eagle Lake

Checked out Sand Beach

Hiked Jesup Path

Hot take: I will die on the hill that Jesup Path is THE best place to be in the fall. The colors are consistently incredible, even if the rest of the park isn't quite there yet (this happened during our second October trip-- the trees were taking their time turning everywhere else in the park, but by Jesup Path, they were stunning.) I swear there is a certain sort of magic in this part of the park. You can feel it. It's in a quieter area, so I think nature is a little bit more 'out there', so to speak. All of my wildlife sightings have been on Jesup Path. Although, paradoxically, if you go too far along Jesup Path, you do eventually reach a golf course, and that seems pretty bizarre... but remember, you are in Maine. I think it adds to the charm.

By Jennifer “Beansie” Gorham My dad comes from here and his dad and his momma… All the way back into the 1800s and they have quite the story to tell.

Elevate and Escalate: Climbing Mount Hale, Wildcat, Cannon, Middle Tripyramid, Osceola, and Cabot

Mount Hale - Elevation: 4054 ft  

Difficulty Level: Mount Hale is another summit I would recommend for those seeking an easier hike. An important factor to be aware of when planning your hike on Mount Hale is potential road closures that impact access to the trailhead. Please monitor local weather reports to assess the risks throughout every season. Additionally, the summit is mostly wooded, but clearly marked with a cairn. It is beautiful during the winter though! 

Trail: The two most popular trails hiked are the Fire Warden Trail and Hale Brook Trail . AllTrails links below:

Mount Wildcat, D Peak - Elevation: 4070ft

Difficulty Level: With Mount Wildcat, D Peak, we move to a more moderate - difficult hike. The climb on this trail is persistently steep, so if you are looking for a great opportunity for a cardio workout, this is the one! This is another difficult hike with a very high reward: an amazing view of the presidential range. My mom finished her 48 4,000 footers on this range, so this is a very special one to me as well! Wildcat is also a ski mountain, so I also encourage anyone visiting the area during the winter to check out the slopes too. 

Trail: There are two popular ways to hike Wildcat, D peak. There is an out and back trail via Wildcat Ride Trail, or via completing the entire Wildcat Ridge Trail. Both AllTrails link below:

Cannon Mountain - Elevation: 4,100ft 

Difficulty Level: Cannon mountain follows suit with Wildcat, being a high work, high reward mountain. It is seen as a moderately difficult hike, due to its steepness and terrain. Another similarity that this mountain shares with Wildcat is that it is a ski mountain. I grew up skiing these slopes, so when I got to summit it three summers ago, it was an incredible experience. The view never gets old! 

Trail: Two popular trails to summit Cannon Mountain are via Kinsman Ridge Trail, or via Lonesome Lake Trail. AllTrails links below:

Middle Tripyramid Mountain - Elevation:  4140ft

Difficulty Level: Middle Tripyramid is generally seen as a moderately difficult hike. This is a mountain is situated near another 4,000 footer (North Tripyramid), which is perfect if you are looking to peak bag. Most trails for this mountain are rather long in distance, so I recommend holding off on any of the Tripyramid until you are well experienced.  

Trail: The most popular trail hiked is the Mount Tripyriamd loop trail. AllTrails link below:

Mount Osceola, East Peak - Elevation: 4156ft

Difficulty Level: The East Peak of Mount Osceola is considered an easy - moderate hike. It is possible to bag both the east peak and the main peak of Mount Osceola (will discuss in a later blog post) but the trail between the two has rock scrambles, which can be more difficult. 

Trail: Two popular trails that Mount Osceola, East peak can be summited are via Greeley Ponds Trail, and the Mount Osceola and East Osceola trail. AllTrails links below:

Mount Cabot - Elevation: 4170ft

Difficulty Level: We return to some longer trails with Mount Cabot. Cabot is considered an easy - moderate hike. The more difficult parts of the trails are the boulders that must be scaled. It is important to know how to navigate these areas with care, and to pace yourself with this longer trek.  

Trail: The Bunnell Notch Trail, an out and back hike, is a well travelled trail to access Mount Cabot. AllTrails link below:

Acadia National Park: the crown jewel of coastal Maine

The popovers at the Jordan Pond House in Maine’s Acadia National Park are famous. But until you try them, you might be skeptical of their reputation. After all, they’re popovers. How good could they be? It only took one bite of my Jordan Pond House popover to know that the glowing accolades were true. I was an instant convert. The muffin-like baked treat was light and fluffy with a delicious…

World Heritage Day 

Visit and support your local cultural icons and monuments, or travel to see some of the remarkable cultural heritage sites from all over the wide world.

Every day people all over the world celebrate their cultural heritage, simply by living their lives in a way that embodies who they are and where they came from. But one day a year is set aside to celebrate the joint history and heritage of the human race. World Heritage Day encourages us to celebrate all the world’s cultures, and to bring awareness to important cultural monuments and sites, and to espouse the importance of preserving the world’s cultures.

You should also take a look online to see if there are any events going on in your local area in honor of World Heritage Day. You will find that a lot of events take place to try and increase awareness regarding the preservation of important buildings and monuments. You can get involved in one of these events so that you can lend your support to these important causes. It should not be too difficult to find out what is going on in your local area. If your community has a local Facebook group, you can refer to this for more details.

It is also a good idea to spread awareness regarding this day with the people that you know. This is something you can do with ease via social media. You can post a message that informs your friends, followers, and family members of this day and encourage them to post something too. You could post a photo of one of the best international sites you have visited or one that is on your bucket list, and then ask your followers to reply with their choice. This is a great way of getting everyone involved and raising awareness about this date!
