  Sandy River & Rangeley Lakes Railroad 128 Bridge Street, Phillips, Maine https://srrl-rr.org/ MERRY CHRISTMAS!! Have a blessed holiday season. Stay warm and cozy. Here hoping that for us all that 2023 will be so awesome!! Cute place to see. Dedicated crew, who are all are volunteers working on all this or that throughout this cute little railroad. I love that they are going out of their way to make this railroad back to "new" condition.  A must see if you are in the Phillips, Maine. Amazing these folks are so talented and able to get it going each year. Be sure to check the schedule, you don't wanna miss out. We didn't ride, we actually arrived a bit late, it had gone on down the line. LOL!! We did walk to see where it ended up ...you can see the round house where they house the cars. What fun.

All views are from the Mansfield, Ohio area. The first would be a bench area from a movie scene. Photo with flower blooms right near the carrousel ...they really take care of their street views ...very quaint and fun. I really love it when cities do the extra mile to make the eyes happy.  Richland Carrousel Park, 75 N. Main Street https://richlandcarrousel.com/   This is a free walk around, if you pick to ride, there is a charge of course. So fun to see all these amazing animals. What a great carrousel.

LOL!! So, we walk up to the visitor center after all it is meant to be "visited", right?? So, we thought, but that day we did visit they were having a "meeting", well that is NICE but hey, we are visiting, shocker!! Visiting from Virginia ...don't ya think that is important to have VISTORS, who might be visiting to check the place out?? So, we didn't get to visit in the visitors' center which is the last photo within my post. What I thought was cool they call it "living laboratory", what a great wording there. It is always changing, no matter the season, so cool!! As always, I joke about the way google (blo

  Muskallonge Lake State Park, Michigan  We stayed at this state park, about 3 days ...great stopping point. We tend to just stay somewhere and venture out daily to see points off from that point. We had wanted to go kayaking, but those waters you see in those pictures, were some ROUGH waters. Oh well, the view sure was pretty. ENJOY!! Taken late May early June 2022. We always enjoy our travels in Michigan. It's an awesome state. Have you ever traveled there before???  Hope you are well today. Thank you kindly for stopping by. Take Care. Beth ( ;
