  3. Great pictures!

    How lucky we are to live in such a beautiful place!

  4. Yes!! You are lucky to live in such a beautiful place. And, it's beautiful every and any time of the year. I tell my friends down here I came from the Christmas Card section of Maine! Most southerners only know the coast of Maine and even then, not much of that either! Franklin County is the most beautiful part of Maine and I believe it to be the prettiest place on Earth!!

    Thanks for the pics guys!

  5. The waterfall is in West Mills in Industry. A beautiful spot.

  6. Hi to all! Great pictures! Real addition to the Bulldog!
