Allow us to reintroduce ourselves; we are the Rubys of ‘Rubys on the Road’. The blog posts will be slowly coming back after about an 18 months hiatus. Did we stop doing what we do? Nope. Did we just run out of free time to write about them? Yup. We aren’t big on social media but we tried to keep that updated with most of our Maine adventures, but finding time to write and publish posts has been on the…
We made our courageous return to Rangeley Lake State Park. This post should probably replace our original post. With or without kids, you only can control what you can control. Whether it’s the weather or a head cold, often you realize the minute you step outside, you are just a drop in the bucket and it can be humbling.

If you’ve been following along for a while, you might be wondering why we haven’t visited this state park after multiple trips over the years to the downeast region. Our goal…

I guess this is when you know you’ve got it real good and we sure had it good back in October. We visited Grafton Notch State Park just a handful of days before peak foliage with friends that know the best and worst of us. Close friends, college roomies and another…
After many conversations with individuals and families, this post will be straight to the point…“Glamping” should not be a dirty word. We all have different comfort levels in anything that we do, so spending time outdoors shouldn’t be any different. Often people will say “we did ____ and I know it’s cheating.” Cheating?
