Acadia It seems 7 am is the wake up time. There was a decent breeze and the air smelled of fresh salt water. The tide is out so rocks are exposed with seaweed draping over them. A contrast of mustard yellow and black. After some morning chores Oscar was content to just lay in bed so I took my chair, coffee and binoculars and resumed my pose of last night. No peace this morning though. I was watching a sea gull walking over the rocks in search of breakfast. He was very protective of his territory and I witnessed one very violent encounter. Then he resumed his food hunt and went into a tidal pool, looking around. He seemed to be doing a little dance then looking down in the water. It finally dawned on me ... read more

Moody Beach, Maine It’s 8 pm and I’m exhausted! Oscar is already buried somewhere in the blankets. We started out slowly, the weather was overcast and in the 40’s so who wants to go to the beach and freeze. We did the big loop in the campground, leisurely had breakfast , then secured Pennelope and took off for the visitors center that I had spotted yesterday. They had a couple of nature walks that I couldn’t pass up but first Oscar had to have a run on the beach. We went to Wells Beach that allows dogs this time of year and we found it very inviting. Parking was easy (picture). I got between the lines and only took 2 place. We walked for over an hour than I got a cup of coffee and my ... read more

This is a test entry. I'm leaving tomorrow for Maine and hope to get to Nova Scotia. I plan to stop where the spirit moves me and just explore, not a planned trip. More tomorrow.... read more

Blog 3-1 What a great sleep, didn’t wake up til 8:30. It is overcast outside but promises to be a beautiful day with 70 degree temps. It is a lazy start to a relaxing day. I went shopping with John later in the morning to get some things at the rv store so while we were there we had to look at their inventory. You just never know when something fabulous comes in and you missed buying it. We looked at some trailers and their stock of Roadtrek motor homes. Roadtrek makes a camper similar to mine but a different company. Nothing worth buying so we went on to Walmart and Subway for lunch. Back at the campground it was time for my afternoon nap, short, walk the dog then sit outside and play on the ... read more

It was up early this morning as the wind has changed and it really is going to clear. Shower and coffee, grab breakfast and head for the dock. We have been wanting to go to Shell Island since we got here but the excursion boats only run on Tues and Thurs in the afternoon and since Dedie flies out today we have to do it in the morning. There is a rental right at the dock in the campground and we decided to brave it and rent a pontoon boat and drive ourselves to shell island, how hard can it be? We got to the dock at 9 and received our instructions on how to start the boat, how to pull the motor up in shallow water, how to navigate, and where to dock at the ... read more
