It’s funny, but one of the most famous tourist attractions in my state is a sign.
.

Yes, those really are the names of Maine towns and I’ve visited all of them. Didn’t even need a passport.
.
.
I admit it, I partied heartily in many a gravel pit back in the day.
.
.
Mud season was virtually non existent this year due to the lack of heavy snow last winter. Can’t say I really missed it.
.

I used to gripe constantly about the cold, but with internal menopausal heating? Now I say bring it!

Yes, if you visit Maine you must have your picture taken with the giant boot at L.L. Beans. And to be honest…. it’s not just for tourists.

That’s the husband and our niece a few years back.

We took her Christmas shopping and made her pose.

River's world..... 
The price of shopping is a picture pose. My daughter would be groaning, just thinking about it.

Hah! I used to live on the outskirts of my town, just down the street from a gravel pit. We never partied there (bush parties were our thing), but I used to go swimming there. Now it’s a subdivision.

Alas the gravel pit parties are a thing if the past. Kids today are locked out with no trespassing signs and chains.

Well, gravel pits are something we might have in common believe it or not. There use to be a couple around where I grew up and did party there in high school. Is….the….hubs…..smiling in that picture? Lol

He might be. Though if I remember correctly we spent close to $800 on the niece that day… so if he was, he shouldn’t have been.

Some day we will have to get to Maine again to visit all those exotic places. But today, wandering a back road north of Pittsburgh, PA, we came to an intersection with Mars 2 miles one way and Valencia a half dozen the others.

The very small town has a museum in a railroad car; aliens look out the windows.
Residents of the area who wintered in Florida used to have an annual party they called the “Mars Invasion.”

Perfect! And if you’re born in Mars… you’re a Martian. What could be better than that.
