Deirdre Fleming covers the outdoors for the Portland Press Herald/Maine Sunday Telegram, and has been a newspaper reporter in Maine for 25 years - and an outdoor writer for the past 20. During that time, she’s seen biologists trap 500-pound bear, watched fishermen land high-jumping makos, camped on Moosehead Lake in the winter, and retraced Gov. Percival Baxter’s first trip to Mt. Katahdin. She is often asked, but still does not know her favorite wildland in Maine. A graduate of Georgetown University and the University of Missouri, she lives with her husband in Buxton near the Saco River, where they both fly fish.

Happy Hikers
BATCHELDERS GRANT – Judy Higgins has watched her golden retriever, Abby, hike up mountains carrying rocks, sticks, even logs.
As if hiking a 4,000-footer is not enough, the ever-busy golden has to turn it into a job of “retrieving.”
Two weeks ago, Higgins enjoyed hiking through a canopy of color along with her three golden retrievers.
Higgins started by asking the dogs at the trail head to East Royce Mountain if they were ready to “hike,” and a series of howls ensued.
