Hiking - Ed Parsons and Ridley Parsons, his grandson

I’ve enjoyed occasionally hiking with my grandson, Ridley Parsons, since he was small. Now he is 17 and a senior at Fryeburg Academy. Last Sunday, we hiked to the summit of Pleasant Mountain (2,006 feet) in Bridgton and Denmark, Maine.

Ridley lives in Denmark, Maine. I always enjoy the quiet drive to his house from Tamworth through Silver Lake, Madison, Eaton and Brownfield, Maine; then crossing Route 113 and following Route 117 into Denmark, Maine. I especially enjoyed it last Sunday during Fryeburg Fair week.
