My wife and I took a weekend trip up north to the Lincoln and Enfield area. We hadn't been there for a while and wanted to see if things had changed much and do a little sightseeing. There has been some recent changes on Main Street that are quite nice. Most notably, there is a large gazebo at the head of Mattanawcook lake as you drive into town with a nice park-like setting with a nice view of the lake. It was a beautiful spot. One thing hadn't changed, though. You can still smell that mill. We spent some time on Cold Stream Pond, too. We have both always loved that lake and after seeing it this weekend, we still do. What a beautiful place!
We spent some time around the Penobscot river also. It was nice to see that the river, although not as good as it should be, has certainly cleaned up a lot. It seems to be getting a lot more recreational use as well. The Penobscot has always had a special place in our hearts and we wish only the best for the river.
We took a 2010 Ford Fusion with the 2.5L 4 cylinder engine and got 37.9 mpg highway and 36.4 mpg average for the trip. The Fusion is a comfortable, passenger friendly car that provides a viable alternative to the smaller cars with less room. Our dog, Sara, likes it too.
It was nice being back in our old stomping grounds for the weekend and my wife and I have decided to go back again in a few years. I don't care if some things change, as long as the lake stays as clean and beautiful as it has always been.
Thanks for reading,
