Be on the Lookout for These New Rainbow-Painted Crosswalks in Augusta, Maine
So cute and colorful! This is what keeps our state so unique and keeps people's spirits up. Last week, the Augusta Teen Center set aside a day to paint the town red, literally! Well, along with orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple to represent Pride Month.
How adorable is this? I always love when towns paint their roads for different occasions. Obviously, this occasion is for Pride Month, but what if we normalized doing it year-round? Like red and green for Christmas, pastels for Easter, etc?
Have you guys ever been to the secret rainbow boardwalk that runs right through the middle of the Saco Heath Preserve? Watch, you'll get mad at me in the comments and say, "Now it's not so secret is it!" But check this out if you didn't know this existed.
This place is such a perfect hike. It's shady under all the tall trees, and sunny on the boardwalks that help you cross a swamp or river. It's very dog-friendly and super seclusive. It's random to get to, and if you don't look hard enough while you're driving, you could go right past it, so keep your eyes peeled. It's worth the chase! Click this for more details on the rainbow boardwalk.
