On to a New Location

Today we made the LONG (close to 50 Miles!) and arduous (not really) journey to Sunset Point which is located on the upper reaches of Pleasant Bay, just a few miles to the South and East of Harrington, Maine.  Most of the trip was along scenic, costal US 1 which winds its way along most of the coastline.  We had selected this campground some time ago because of both size (small) and location (a bit more remote).  As much as we thought we'd like the place from what we had seen on the web, we are even more delighted with what we discovered in person.  I'll share some photos soon, I promise, but the campground and surroundings are absolutely picturesque.  The owners are very friendly and helpful and I've no doubt that this will be a target spot should we ever pass this way again.  We spent the afternoon exploring the grounds and the shore on beautifully established and maintained pathways, that include places to sit and enjoy the view along the way.  Bill and Deb tried their hand at fishing, but without even a bite; however, I am sure they will give it a try at a better time of the day (the tide makes a difference).  Speaking of the tide, the tidal difference here is something on the order of 10 to 12 feet, causing quite a change in the scenery as you'll see if you click here for some photos.  We enjoyed some fantastic lobster for dinner, purchased from and cooked by the campground owners (and delivered to our site, no less).  Quite a marvelous day!
