Birch Point State Park – Owl’s Head, Maine

Maine / Megan

This is a lovely little pocket beach, with amazing views of Penobscot Bay, just out of South Thomaston village.     Wasn’t even very busy when we stopped by (this is apparently the first year they’ve even bothered with a ranger).

This winter has completely sucked.    While we didn’t get that much snow (last year’s blizzard made that winter worse snowfall-wise), I don’t ever remember it being this cold, and I have a working recall of winters here back to the early 80s.     Thankfully, we seem
