Golden days at Maybury

50th Anniversary Trip

Linda and Robert Eads, who are 39-year residents of Northville, traveled to England in September for their 50th anniversary trip, which included stops in Norwich, Portsmouth (and the Isle of Wight), Lands End and London. Here Bob is pictured at Lands End, England.

“You’ll note the Atlantic Ocean in the background and as the sign indicates, the U.S. is quite a distance. Northville and Lands End are actually 3,580 miles apart,” Linda said. “Our wonderful daughters, Sara and Jenna (both NHS grads), bought our airline tickets, bless their hearts. Bob (top photo) is giving a big shout out to his favorite watering hole, the Wagon Wheel.” Congratulations to 50 years! California Dreamin’

Northville’s Timothy Moore brought his copy of The ‘Ville along on his recent trip to a number of national parks in California. Specifically he visited Yosemite, Kings Canyon, and Sequoia National Parks. Moore and his brother flew to Las Vegas, rented a car and drove up to California, where they spent a day each at Sequoia and Kings Canyon and then two days at Yosemite. They did a lot of moderate hikes and did as many overlooks as they could. Here (bottom right photo) he is pictured in Yosemite.

“I think we both thought Sequoia National Park was our favorite,” Moore said. “The sequoia trees there are just incredible and it has a nice variety of trails with different difficulties. Being in front of these absolutely massive organisms that could be as much as 3,000 years old is pretty awesome". Travels Through Europe

MaryGrace and Tom York, Northville residents since 1989 (original owners in St. Lawrence Estates), headed over to Europe in October and took along The ‘Ville. The trip included a five-day stay in the Netherlands, and then a week’s cruise on the Seine with stops in Paris, Roen, Normandy beaches and more. Here they are (bottom left photo) pictured at the CDG airport in Paris. “Fabulous sites, delicious food and summer weather,” MaryGrace said about the trip, their first overseas since COVID. A Chance Meeting

John Zannis, Stuart McCutcheon, Dan Smith and Todd Knickerbocker, all Northville residents, recently traveled down to Florida for some golf and sunshine. During a trip to the beach they ran into fellow Northville residents Greg and Lois Presley. Here they all are (second from top) on Rosemary Beach, Florida.

“We ran into Greg and Lois on the beach and thought it was perfect time for The ‘Ville photo shoot,” said Dan Smith.

The next time you head out of town, take along a copy of The ‘Ville, snap a photo, and let us know where your travels take you. Our readers would love to know! Please email the photos to kurtkuban@gmail.com. We’ll feature the photos in an upcoming issue.

Golden Days at Maybury

There’s no doubt that we are lucky to live in a community that is home to Maybury State Park. How many places can say they have their very own state park?

At nearly 1,000 acres, Maybury is an evolving treasure that changes with the seasons. Perhaps the most beautiful of those seasons is fall when the place is just bursting with color.

Our photographer, Bryan Mitchell, who is a longtime Northville resident, says Maybury is one of his favorite places, especially during the autumn. This fall he spent plenty of time there looking for the perfect shots. Here are some of his best this year. Enjoy!
