And I've Got Faded Roots...

[this is good]
I've never been on an "all family" vacation - looks like you guys got up to some trouble and had a lot of fun.
Oh yes. Let's see...this was summer of 1995, therefore around my 16th birthday. I had already been an "occasional drinker" for about 2 years, and other unmentionable experimentations weren't far away on the horizon.

This was a vacation within a vacation away from our parents, who were all driving us batty, with their usual talk of inheritances, wills, etc. So we drove about 2 hours or so up the state to get away for a day. The scenery is seriously to die for up there: waterfalls, forestry, cliff-diving. We were all too scared, except for the aforementioned photographer cousin, to jump off the 30-foot cliff into the stream. I think he did it multiple times. But that was his nature. Danger really is his middle name.

Next time I venture to Maine again to see the relatives (1x per year), I'll have to make another journey to Smalls Falls. Haven't been back there since 1995.


Thanks for dating the photo, because it looks timeless! It could be from anytime, it has a real old school feel to it. I absolutely love B & W photography, it captures so much and your cousin has quite the eye. That setting looks like one of the most beautiful places ever, that's something else I miss about the east coast - swimming holes and rope swings. great post
Timeless is the exact reason why it's my favorite, because it does withstand the test of time.
