END OF MONTH TWO, TRIP #4:  As of Day 61, yesterday 8/12/18, we’ve been gone for two months on Trip #4. Granted, we had to stop and return home in July so that Rob could fly to CA, but just counting days on the road, we’ve completed two months of this trip. We got back on the road once he returned & we’d packed up again. We’d left off at Aroostook State Park in northern Maine near Presque Isle. When we returned to camping, we first headed to the old standby in Massachssetts, Traveler’s Wood’s Campground, then drove up to northern NH near the Maine border near Umbagog Lake National Wildlife Refuge. We stayed for over a week at Coleman State Park, an excellent campground, with Loons calling. Bald Eagles, Moose & great kayaking. From there we drove to Rangeley Lake State Park in western Maine, stayed there for almost a week, then moved on to Peaks-Kenny State Park near Dover-Foxcroft in central Maine. Beautiful country, but we really want to see the top of Maine, near the Canadian border. Not many roads there, almost no towns, river kayaking galore, Moose, Bears, Eagles, oh my……and we’ve just obtained reservations at Moosehead Lake and also at Baxter State Park, moving ever onward to the north. Stay tuned for more about the wilder side of Maine!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, LIN!  WE HOPE IT WAS WONDERFUL!

Day 62 – I neglected to do a campground review after Rangeley Lake State Park, so that will follow along with a review of Peaks-Kenny State Park because, guess what?, we have left this Park and moved on to another one! Crazy.

Day 61 – It was 62 degrees & cloudy this morning at 6:50 a.m. A nice, cool night but I wouldn’t call it quiet. That’s the weekend in a crowded Park. Still, we’ve seen worse. The exodus began around 7:30; should be really crowded at the dump station by the time we leave, hopefully by 10 a.m.  The girls are contentedly relaxing; they don’t know yet that we’ll be traveling today.
