This is a great campsite & we spent most of the weekend in the screened tent overlooking the Bay. We’ve been reading lots of books. The cats are happy and relaxing, too. The State Park is located on the Cobscook Bay; the campground pamphlet says that the name “Cobscook” comes from the Passamaquoddy Indian word meaning, “boiling tides”. Here, the average tide is 24 feet. The weather has been great, in the upper 60’s and lower 70’s during the day. There are a lot of bugs, but it’s been fairly breezy & the wind picks up in the afternoon. This helps with the bugs.

Day 12 – Since we were on our own land & didn’t have to check out by a particular time, we didn’t leave until 1:55 p.m. It was 58 degrees and partly cloudy. Once we reached Route 1 and headed north, we encountered lots of road work which slowed things down a bit. Still, we reached Cobscook Bay State Park just 25 minutes later at 2:20 p.m.

CONGRATULATIONS BETH & JOHN (June 1, 2018)!
When we’re camping at our land in Maine, often our days are quiet & uneventful (last year when we were here for 5 weeks during the summer, we didn’t blog at all). Rather than just repeat each day’s activities over & over again, we’re condensing some parts of this trip into more days in each post. Days that are pretty routine will just go into one post, and this will hopefully help us to catch up with the blog and to keep up with the posting.

Day 4 – It was 48 degrees and partly cloudy this morning when we got up. We hate to leave; it’s really nice here, but today we are driving to our land, way down east Maine. We haven’t been there since last August. When we left there last, we’d just had work done on the land to put in a new clearing closer to the cliff’s edge overlooking the water. We’d only been able to camp there two nights to try out the new RV pad before we had to leave.

FULL MOON RISING.
Day 3 – It was 57 degrees and sunny at 7:45 a.m., supposed to be much cooler today, plus we’ll be heading farther north along the coast. We’ll be going to Belfast, ME to one of our favorite campgrounds, Moorings Oceanfront RV Resort.

Day 2 – Quiet campground this morning, but it must’ve been busy over the weekend! Sunny and 66 degrees when we got up. We had a restful night & the cats did well, too. It’s amazing to us how things have switched – this is home & we all settled right in; the original “home” is now the vacation spot.

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!
Day 1 – We went to bed very tired last night after a busy day of packing up most of our remaining belongings, tools, supplies, etc. And we still had all the last-minute packing & chores to do before leaving today. The girls were troopers, none of them offering resistance when we brought them out to the RV. Gracie immediately began playing with her favorite toy; the other three just meandered about checking everything out. When we came out with the final load of stuff, we found two of them already in the bedroom, lying on the bed, ready to hit the road. We departed home at 11:40 a.m. It was cloudy and 62 degrees.

HOME SWEET….SNOW?
Day 232 – Beginning of Week 34. It was 39 degrees this morning when we got up. If we used no more than 20 amps electricity at a time, we kept our electricity at this site without it browning out. Last night Rob called the campground owners & let them know that the 30 amp breaker wasn’t working. We departed the campground at 9:35 a.m., 45 degrees, partly cloudy.
