On May 6, 2023, my friend and I drove down early in the morning from Portland to Cape Elizabeth. It was my first time visiting Maine and we wanted to get the full rocky coast experience, so we headed for Two Lights State Park. We got to the park about 15 minutes after it opened and made our way down a small path to the headlands. As soon as we scrambled down onto the rocks, we turned and saw a plastic bag threaded onto a bush. My friend often picks up stray trash in parks and went to grab it when she realized there was something inside. I can’t imagine the heart was there for very long, as the weather hadn’t been great earlier in the week. Finding this was the sweetest and most wholesome way to be welcomed to Maine!
