I came back to my grandmom's on Christmas morning to finish putting everything together for the trip and charging things and taking photos off cards-- the usual. When Sarah, Ken, Isabel, and Aiden showed up I went out to give them their gifts. Aiden seemed happy with the Tsum Tsums and moved quickly on to the next gifts of course. That all went quickly. I opened my envelopes of cash and gift cards and it was all over.

Becca and I hopped in the car, got gas at Wawa, and then asked, "How the hell do we get to Maine?" We started by driving north and stopped 3 hours in to play the animal course at Warwick. It was a great break in the drive and we played a good game. Becca had some really great putts and I threw one of my discs in the water. I forgot how beautiful parts of the course are with a stream running through it and a nice foot bridge.

After our round we got right back on the road, eating quinoa and brussel sprouts on the go. It was a smooth drive with no traffic; the only snag came when we got off the exit for gas we realized everything was closed. The Shell that we were heading for had all the pumps roped off and only the inside was open. We had to improvise to find a place to pee, and then we drove a little farther to get to an open gas station.

We decided we would stop in Portsmouth for the night and we found a hotel right off the highway. It was nice to stop and get to sleep at a good time after a day of driving.

We ended up leaving the house a little late, but that was okay. We went to Warwick DGC, where we played a fun round. It's a great course with a lot of challenging shots. We shot pretty well, even after it started to rain a little bit toward the end. After eating we went to Conscious Fork for lunch. I got this amazing bowl with kale, tofu, and veggies. It was absolutely wonderful. I would like to eat something like this every day. I had a tasty smoothie with it as well and a macaroon to go that was also fantastic. I want more!

Our next stop was the Campgaw/Mighty Gaw course. They changed the names so it's all Campgaw now, but the different layouts are Green, Blue, and Black. We played the long one; Black, I think. It used to be Mighty Gaw. The course is quite short on the first few holes, but it gets very soon after when you get to the uphill shots. That one uphill shot is a pain. Through the dense woods we made it to the top and around the other side.

Once playing the back area and down the fun drop shot through the thick woods, we came back up through the high grassy, annoyingly steep shots that I always consider skipping. We saw this little guy in the grass, hiding and scared when we almost tripped over her! Our final shots down the big open ski trail always seem like they will be fun. Inevitably, they are bad shots and we end up searching forever for our discs. We never learn. After collecting all of our discs from the grasses, I took Joanna home and then headed home myself.

We decided to go for disc golf even if it was snowing today so we headed out pretty close to on time for Campgaw. It was about 45 minutes away at a ski resort. The skiing part of the mountain was pretty small from what I could see and the course played around the one hill. In the summer the course is modified to use the ski hill.

The temperature was great. It was snowy but really comfortable to play without gloves or a lot of clothing. The course was laid out nicely. The uphill shots were harder obviously because of the snow.

Clearly, the course is tightly placed but still a lot of fun. The holes didn't seem repetitive at all. They were all pretty unique and fun. The downhill hole had potential to be really good but I hit a tree or two.

Once we finished that course, we headed up to the course in Warwick, NY. This course was awesome. It had two baskets on each hole and two tees as well so you can combine to make it easier or harder. There were a lot of different types of shots on this course as well; up hills, around corners, blind shots..

It was also quite picturesque in many places. The snow looked nice and the tees were all cleared off for us as well. I think we did pretty well on this course overall.

Some of the later holes played really long but we both did awesome on hole 17, a long open hole. I got a great long putt through some trees from the field. I would definitely come back to this one.

We came home and had something to eat after not finding a Moe's that was open. We did more trip planning and watched Mythbusters for a while. The day was eventful enough, the night can be slow.
