Not saying it's anyone's fault, just reporting data. BTW, it's 1-for-4 now, so above the Mendoza line.
OK, two days gone now. As mentioned, left NH with an ugly start weatherwise. Marshy area
Then got to Maine. Saw something new; at a red light, the red was circled by white flashing led-type lights. Thought it was like a speed camera to bust runners (a M******* did run that lane), but it kept flashing after they were through. Only on the right-hand of the two lanes, though.
Maine has Scarborough marsh
By now, it's lunchtime (well, for me anyway). I keep rolls, lunchmeat, cheese and Coke in the cooler, and can usually find a park or some such to make a quick sandwich. When passing Yarmouth, I happened to look down from the overpass and saw a grassy area with a small building, right by the exit. Turned out to be just that, not a park, but at the bottom of the ramp they had a town sign of the various points of interest, including Royal River Park. Better than what I saw originally.
US 1 took me through Freeport, so I stopped.
and saw LL Bean (among
many other outlet stores. IDK, the prices at these places didn't seem that great to me, but I'm not up on such things.
Up by Woolwich, saw this old bridge
The other end is cut off. Reminded me of the old overseas highway on the other end of US 1. Old, decaying bridge that they haven't torn down.
Lots more marshy areas.
Unfortunately, bad lighting, but interesting little inlets and so on.
The rain cleared off by early afternoon. While the sun didn't come out too much, decided it was nice enough to camp. Stayed that night in Camden Hills State Park.
The ground was damp, but it wasn't raining on me. Just a little wipe before packing the tent, which I have to do on dry days also due to condensation. Somewhere along the line, I accumulated a few beach towels. On my very first camping adventure, I threw them in just because.
Three of them are pink, and have become the camp cleanup towels due to being easily identifiable. Then, the others can be for me.
Anyway, this park has a road to the top of Mount Battie, which offers an OK view of Penobscot Bay from this tower
Pretty nice stay. Unfortunately, due to my nature noted above, up at ~4:15 AM, on the road at 4:50, so Dot's (the recommended breakfast place) wasn't open.
Turns out, pretty much no non-chains open on July 4 in Maine. Strange, I finally settled on a Dunkin' up the road. Wasn't bad, but I prefer to go with the local places.
