Crescent Beach State Park – Cape Elizabeth ME
A year ago today exactly, I did my first trip of the season to Crescent Beach State Park. The park doesn’t officially open until Memorial Day, so I’d parked out on the road, and trekked in, over an access road that was still almost fully snow covered in the shadier parts. I was bundled up
