Freeport, Maine

1. Now this is a boot
2. View from our campsite


September 2, Tuesday: Took our time checking out as we did not have far to travel today. Drove to Freeport by way of Hwy 1. Slow moving driving right up the coastline part of the way. Several seaport towns not sure these roads were build with 40ft RVs in mind. Turned off the hwy headed north on 205 towards the campground. These are the worst roads we have been on. Bob and Dorene, I really understand what you went through in Alaska. We saw a sign that said... Slow Frost Heaves...Oh My Gosh, they felt like the rig was shaking apart. We were barely moving. Then we ran out of pavement onto a dirt road. Did I forget to mention there was not a sign telling us about the end of pavement. Oh, fun, fun, fun. I was starting to think of California again. We still had 1 1/2 miles to the campground but it seemed like an eternity. This road had the washboard effect and let me tell you we felt every bump. Thank goodness when we reached our campground it was a blessing. It was tucked amongst tall trees with large sites. After Labor Day it really slows down so not very many people. Our site is all by itself. Very woodsy. Nice view when we sit out and feed the mosquitoes. Our host says this is the worst year they have had with mosquitoes. Too much rain this year and when it warmed up the mosquitoes came out with a vengeance. The weather station says we are 10 degrees above normal. It has been in the low 80s since we have been in Maine. Good for us and apparently really good for the mosquitoes.



Put on lots of mosquito repellent and sat outside. Getting pretty good at this relaxing stuff.



Good Night!







September 3, Wednesday: The reason we made a stop in Freeport was to go thru the LL Bean Store. We have always like the quality of their clothing and have ordered several things from them. Fun to finally see the store. Guess what? again we found some good quality clothes. Larry only went thru the check line 4 times. I thought I was done shopping then I found a couple of other things for Christmas. You know how that goes. Even if you don't buy anything, it is an amazing store to walk around. Walked around town seems all the major brands have an outlet here. Not being the best shoppers, we didn't leave very much money.



It had warmed up to 84 degrees so headed back on our washboard road to check on dogs. We usually leave the air conditioner on but it was cooler when we left. The inside of the rig was only 73 degrees because of all the trees I guess.



We thought about going out to dinner but the thought of going over that road was not worth it.



Besides time to load up and head out tomorrow for Bar Harbor.



Good Night!
