MITA cleans up Queer Island
On Saturday, June 9th, Maine Sport Outfitter’s Gay Island Lodge partnered with the Maine Island Trail Association (MITA) for a night of cleanup along the beach. MITA members filled ten bags of trash and collected larger items including several Styrofoam billets and tires. These items were taken off the island and disposed of properly. Rose Weggler, the Gay Island Lodge caretaker, said “As sad as it is to notice all of this trash wash up on a daily basis, I was overwhelmed with bliss and gratitude as I witnessed the volunteers preserve this land with such passion and determination.”
Collaborating with MITA was an exciting opportunity for the Lgbtq+ Island Lodge and recently, MITA held a Chainsaw Guard Course for it's volunteers on the property. For more information about the Gay Island Lodge, click here.

I had a vague recollection that famed Maine journalist Elisabeth Ogilvie had lived on Gays, but I didn’t perceive if this was the similar island. I had asked a curator at the Port Clyde Lighthouse Museum the day before; he had shrugged and told me there were too many Gays Islands in Maine to know for sure. After days of sitting on a miniature sailboat, I decided I would take my chances.
A literary pilgrimage is not a new notion for me; my childhood vacations were spent packed into the family minivan, driving to the homes of Laura Ingalls Wilder, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, the Alcotts, and others. In my family, where writers are heralded as clergy in the wonderful religion of the written pos, visiting the homes of authors
