User Info: DontHoldBack. After hours spent searching for a Nether fortress, i finally found one earlier today. Unfortunately, my portal is at x = -6, z = 29, and the fortress is at x = 397, z = 199. I'm hoping to turn the blaze spawners in this fortress into exp farms so having the fortress that far away from my portal is so inconvenient.
Traditionally, Columbus Day Weekend is Peak Fall Foliage. September and October the Maine weather is usually perfect for touring the coast or heading into the Maine lakes region and the mountains to see the spectacular birches, oaks, maples and other deciduous trees whose leaves turn gorgeous fall colors.
This hike is great on a clear summer day since you can see four snowy mountains from the summit of Observation Peak. Wildflowers bloom in the forest and on the summit in early July, but early July is also mosquito season up here. The pests will plague you for about the final two-thirds of the climb up to the peak.
