About RouteFinder
George Soules and Janice Kenyon created RouteFinder as a gift to all who love the carriage roads.
Both George and Janice have degrees in Information Science from the University of California at Santa Cruz.
They live in Southwest Harbor on the western side of Mount Desert Island. They walk, run, or bike on the
carriage roads every chance they get.
