The Adventures in Maine Continue!


When we got up this morning, the weatherman said is will get to 99 degrees today.  I thought we were in Maine!!!!!!  So Ken and I decided we should change the activities we planned for today!  We thought we would ride into Ogunquit and walk the Marginal Way again.  Just too hot for that much strenuous exercise.

We really like our campsite!  It is on the end of a row and so large!



So Ken did some searching and after eating breakfast outside, we decided to head north to the Portland area, close to where we had taken the Ferry to Peaks Island.  East End Beach off the Eastern Promenade Trail is the only public beach in Portland.  There was hardly anyone there - do you think the heat had something to do with the sparse crowd?????  Ken had read it was a good area for seaglass and that was correct.  We spent lots of time looking at the sand!  Ate our packed lunch overlooking the harbor - what a view!!!!  After spending more time looking for seaglass, we got in Diesel and headed back to the CG, arriving around 4:00.  It was 99 on our way back!!!  Showers felt terrific!!!!!

This is East End Beach!  Not very large or crowded, but
great views!

Time to get down to work and find more seaglass!


A scenic railroad passed by the beach every hour  or so!

Another Lighthouse - Bug Light! (What a name!)

What a view from the picnic table where we ate our lunch!


All these snails are waiting for high tide to return!


Our days "seaglass catch"!


Ken made salmon for him, a pork chop for me, and corn on the cob on the open fire.  What a meal!!!!  Spent some time chatting with our neighboring campers, John and Nancy.  Great folks!

We plan to take a walk around the CG and then play some games.

Another wonderful, adventure filled day in Maine!!!!
