ANOTHER LOBSTER PIG-OUT.
Day 47 – 7:30 a.m., 42 degrees, partly cloudy & windy. The girls had settled in, yesterday’s horrible ride behind them. We hung out at the RV until 11:30, then went out for a little drive & lobster rolls from Cindy’s Take-Out where we had a great lunch last time we were here.
We first drove around the farm & campground. It had been awhile since we looked at campsites in the other sections; we’d been happy with our current site (#106), but you never know – always nice to have back-ups in mind in case the campsite we want is already taken. There are three sections for camping: East Bay, Middle Bay, & West Bay. Middle Bay is tents only. About half the sites in East Bay, where we are now, offer water & electric hook-ups; some have distant water views. Best sites in East Bay are #106, #122, and #124, but 122 & 124 do not have hook-ups. Middle Bay allows tent camping only; no hook-ups. West Bay is on a peninsula with campsites along the water; no hook-ups & campsites can be for tents, vans, or RV’s. The West Bay water sites overlooking Casco Bay are usually completely booked; everyone wants a good water site. We noted that the best water sites that would fit our RV were #812 & #836. In the center of the three separate camping areas is the farm and lots of fields. In different fields we saw the chicken area, the cows lazing about, and some sheep that looked like large white lumps lying in their field. There are vegetable & flower gardens, a camp store, and the Farm Cafe. Different informative, educational programs are offered daily.
From the campground we drove to Wolfe’s Neck Woods State Park. The long, winding road was lovely with the fall colors and the big trees right next to the road. We drove to south Freeport to get our Lobster Rolls, but Cindy’s was closed for the season. We drove further south on Route 1 and stumbled upon another place, Day’s Lobster & Crab, only serving take-out due to the Coronavirus. They were busy. We got two small lobster rolls, leaving room for dinner, and it turned out they also sold fresh lobster and fresh crab meat, so we bought some to freeze and take home. After lunch, which was very good, we drove around taking some side streets we’d never been on before. Freeport is a very nice, well cared for, community.
Back at the RV, the sun had come out so we went outside with our books. It was 62 degrees but pretty windy. We didn’t last very long with the wind once the sun wasn’t shining on our chairs, so we came inside, took our showers, and planned dinner. It’s a tough life.
Dinner was take-out again from the Broad Arrow Tavern, and we repeated the excellent meals we had here last time we visited: we split the Lobster Mac N Cheese and the Lazy Lobster Fettucini. And we aren’t even close to being tired of lobster! Tomorrow we head south to Salisbury, Massachusetts near the New Hampshire border.
