September 9, 2004 Omaha, Nebraska

9 September 2004 Omaha, Nebraska Awhile has passed…… After Lubec Maine I drove through inland Maine and wondered through Vermont. Great state, Vermont. Visited in the town of Cabot, where my first ex-wife lived with the Weatherman in the ’60. The town really has not changed at all. Then headed down to my folks in Ct. […]

August 13, 2004 South Bay Campground Lubec, Maine

Awoke to another blistery Maine day. Cool (cold) ocean breeze singing in the trees. Been listening to Canadian Public Radio the last few days. Quite good. Right now Swahili music is a welcome addition to the morning. Today is the first day I’ve just relaxed at the campsite. Time to regroup, clean up and plan […]

Patton Pond RV Resort Woke up 5am to Henry crying by the bed. Henry never cries so something was up. Out the door we went, me in my bathrobe, Henry in a very big hurry. He took off among the RV’s before I could get the leash on him and “visited” about five camp sites […]

That’s his boat, The Narda Jean, behind him in the photograph below. William is a lobster fisherman and has been most of his life. He spent about 10 […]

August 4, 2004 Ellsworth, Maine

After coming off the island I have spent the last few days exploring the many fingers that reach out into the see around Camden. I’ve been finding“sameness” to the eastern Landscape. Very closed in and quite similar as you go from state to state, but Maine is more akin to New Mexico with constantly changing vistas […]

July 30, 2004 Camden maine

Left the morning of July 29 to meet my friends Joan Bueling and Jerry Herring out on Vinal Haven Island about 12 miles off the coast of Maine. They were staying at their friend Joe Kaemplers home. To get there you take an hour plus ferry ride from Rockland. The ferry is a small commercial […]

July 28, 2004 Camden, Maine

5 am awoke to rain filtering through heavy pine trees. Finally back to the small roads and time to stop and photograph and just enjoy the show. Since Atlanta we’ve been taking big roads and in a bit of a rush to arrive in Maine. Not the way to see the country. You miss so […]

July 27, 2004 York Beach Maine

After another interstate haul I arrived last night in Maine. Again a wrong turn took me toward York Beach, Maine. Looking in the rv site book I found The York Beach Camper Park but there was no cell service and so as it began to get dark and I began to wonder how to find the place there it […]
