It’s Gonna Be A Bright, Bright, Sunshiny Day.

Day 89 – We woke up to the sun shining over the Bay, so bright that when Rob was sitting out, even with dark sunglasses on, he held his hand up blocking his eyes. Back in Downeast Maine. It was 44 degrees when he got up; I followed an hour later. We’d parked the RV so to maximize sunlight on the dash – the girls were all up there, doing their passive-solar exercises. Rob took a walk around part of the campground, got lots of pictures, he said the campground was fairly full. Many Warblers were passing through – migrating south. I grabbed my camera & went out for a walk, too, and Rob joined me. Some of the trees were definitely showing their fall colors, and it’s only early September. Lots of flowers on the bushes. What a beautiful day!

Day 88 – We did not expect to be changing campsites already, but we did. It was 55 degrees this morning, a few light clouds. I had just gotten in the shower when Rob said that he’d seen some activity outside & he was going to walk over to check if site #4 was leaving. When we’d gotten here, that campsite was the one we wanted, but they appeared to be fully ensconced there, with both a tent & a camper, several people, a couple of vehicles, and even a checkered tablecloth on the picnic table. We thought they’d be here for the long haul. Rob came back & said that, yes, they were packing up, & that it might be awhile before he was back, considering that it was early & the Ranger’s Station probably wasn’t even open yet. Site #4 was a non-reservable site which meant it was first-come, first-served. After the current occupant departed, the first campers to pay for the site got to keep it.

Day 87 – It cooled off nicely last night, 56 degrees this morning at 7 a.m. and sunny. Rob went for a bike ride. We took a short walk by neighboring campsites to see if anyone was packing up – they weren’t. Later, we moved our chairs to the hilltop and sat outside looking out over the Bay. We don’t have the tent up yet, but there was no need to have it up to hide from the bugs – there weren’t any. YAAA.
