Sep 8, 2012 - Tour to Portland

Tim and Gail showed us a wonderful time in Maine. They took us for a tour of Portland, an old port city. The old port area is really neat. It has many small shops and old brick and cobblestone roads. We spent several hours walking the port area, exploring many small shops. We saw a cruise ship docked, so Glenna got a lot closer to a cruise. Tim treated us at Dimillo’s Floating Restaurant. We had a delicious meal and a great view of the port. We enjoyed the New England Rally. We renewed some old friendships and met some new. We move on to...

Sep 6, 2012 - Franconian Notch and on to Maine

Today we drove south through the White Mountains. We arrived at Cannon Mountain and rode the Aerial Tram up the mountain. It was a little foggy, but the views were beautiful. We had a picnic lunch at the base of the mountain, before continuing south and east toward Alfred, Maine. We spent most of the day on two lane roads. The many small towns and scenery were beautiful. The trees are just starting to show their colours. We arrived in Alfred and found the Walnut Grove Campground. There are about a dozen rigs from the New England Carriage...

Jul 27, 2011 - Cape Neddick and York, ME

Friday morning was hot but thought just maybe if we headed toward the shore it my be cooler....NOT! It was HOT....before we got home is was a 103*! We had three things on our bucket list today and we did all three of them. The first was to visit Cape Neddick and see the "Nubble Lighthouse". It was just as pretty as I remembered it. We spent a little time here viewing the lighthouse and talking with 2 couples from New Hampshire who gave us some information about what to see and eat in Portsmouth, NH and Portland, ME. We took pictures of...

Jul 26, 2011 - Maine....Arrived in time for record heat!

We had a nice drive from Connecticut to Alfred, Maine. Stopped at a rest area off I-495 for lunch. All the facilities were closed....this was in Massachusetts. We sat outside in the shade with a nice breeze an enjoyed our sandwiches. We arrived at Walnut Grove Campground in Alfred, ME about 3:00....in was 90 degrees...oh my. Who would have thought it would be hotter in Maine than in Georgia? The campground is 3 miles up a rural road. Very quite and dark at night. Lots of seasonal residents but sites were well kept. Our site P....was large...

Jul 26, 2011 - Biddeford Pool, ME and More

So Thursday morning we were up and out the door trying to beat the heat....it was already near 90 by 10 AM. We headed toward Biddeford Pool, ME....why?...Well, 20 years ago Tom and I made a trip to Maine for 3 weeks with my parents in the Airstream. One of our favorite places was Biddeford Pool and a restaurant called Hatties. We always wandered if it was still there. Now Biddeford Pool is off the beaten path...away from all the crowds....mostly summer locals....narrow road ways.....private beach....beautiful views....the road to Biddeford...
