Day 10 – At 6:30 a.m. it was 54 degrees & foggy again. This time the fog lifted by 10 a.m. We called all eight of the contractors we’d contacted from New York, leaving all but one a message letting them know we were in town & wanted to meet with them. Now the game of phone tag begins. We’ll know soon who is interested in our project.

Day 9 – 51 degrees, 7 a.m., FOGGY. And it stayed foggy until close to 4 p.m. There goes the view! LOL. We’d forgotten about the fog since it was so beautiful & clear here yesterday. It’s usually foggy much of the time we’re here; the day we arrived was somewhat of a shock. Well, fog has its own charms, but I wished we could see the water. It only got to 58 degrees.

TRAVEL DAY – ON TO OUR LAND.
Day 8 – It was 49 degrees this morning at 6:30 a.m. & partly cloudy. We’re looking forward to getting to the land. The last time we were there it was mid-November. We think our land is the best campground we’ve ever been to. Grin.

SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES, AND THROAT, AND LUNGS.
Day 7 – It was sunny & breezy, 56 degrees, at 7 a.m. this morning. We went in to Belfast to pick up sandwiches for lunch, planning to take them with us on a long drive to try & get more house ideas. First we went to Chase’s Daily. This place is a favorite of the locals & tourists, known for its sandwiches & baked goods; the line was clear around the block. It must be good! We didn’t want to wait in line, COVID & all. Instead we drove to another sandwich place we’d read about, Bell the Cat, also a town favorite. Grabbed a couple of sandwiches and headed east to Unity, looking at houses along the way.

ONWARD TO BELFAST.
Day 5 – It rained most of the night. At 7 a.m. it was 66 degrees, cloudy & humid. It’s a travel day, but we don’t have far to go, from Freeport to Belfast. Check-in at our next campground isn’t until after 1 p.m., so we have plenty of time to relax & hang around here. The cows were put out to pasture early this morning, and we’re watching them from the front windshield; they’re a bit frisky. The cats are not impressed.
Bye bye cows! Wolfe’s Neck Oceanfront Campground, Freeport, ME

Day 4 – It was 56 degrees & overcast this morning at 6:30 a.m. We’d cancelled the appointment with Lindal Cedar Homes this morning, knowing we wouldn’t be able to afford them, and therefore had a relaxing time in the RV. Later in the morning we drove around the residential areas of Freeport looking at the homes, their various styles, window placement, and the colors of the houses & trims. Anything we liked & wanted to remember, we photographed for later reference. We had lunch in the car with take-out from Cindy’s Lobster Pound in South Freeport. Very good lobster rolls, extremely fresh & tender lobster. Got gas in the Honda, then more house-looking and then back to the RV as it started to rain.

MOO.
Day 3 – We were up at 6 a.m. this morning; 51 degrees & cloudy. Today we traveled to Freeport, Maine. We had a relaxing morning, since our check-in time at the next campground wasn’t until 1 p.m. We went to the local Post Office in Bernardston to mail another bill; we had a survey done at the house in NY in order to get a variance for a deck to be built off our bedroom. We had been notified that the final payment was due on the work. Then we packed up, shuffled the girls (without a single complaint) into the bedroom for travel, and departed Traveler’s Woods Campground at 9:50 a.m.

MEETING WITH HOME BUILDERS.
Day 2 – 44 degrees this morning at 6:15 a.m.; what a surprise! Clear & sunny. The campground was quiet and all went well last night. We departed in the car (leaving the cats behind in the RV) at 7:30 a.m. for Claremont, NH via I-91 north, crossing from MA into VT, then NH. Beautiful country up here.
