We came to Maine to visit with some WOTI, Wings On The Internet , friends and eat lobster . We extended our stay to allow some vacation in Maine and eat more lobster. We succeeded. The KOA in Bar Harbor had us right on the shore of one of the many bays. We explored Acadia National Park and of course the LL Bean outlet in Ellsworth.
When we were at Sanford ME we took a trip to Freeport and purchased 2 kayaks and new PFD's.
Next stop is Old Sturbridge Village in MA. where we meet with good friends from Vermont.
We met the Steins at The Old Sawmill Campground. We arrived about 20 minutes before they did. They had a caliper lock up on the RV. It was their anniversary so we cooked dinner for them and visited.
The next day we went to Old Sturbridge for breakfast and on the to village. There were many demonstrations, vertical sawmill , carding mill , grist mill . All were working with water power and the folks giving the presentations were very good. Many of the other areas, pottery, blacksmith, etc. had folks doing things or just there to provide information. All in all a very good time.
On Saturday left and headed home while the Steins continued their adventure.
Following are some pictures of our "vacation".
