Well it was total wash for the laundry. A rainy morning, good time to sleep late and do the chores. Donna did hers; I did mine, including the most important one. Important? Yes, inviting 5 of our cherished friends for dinner tonight at 6 PM. They will be warmly welcomed with a bowl of melted butter. Our CG offers cooked lobsters at 5 for $30. After lunch we headed downtown to Boothbay Harbor to wander around. The rain had stopped. There are many shops of about every kind, from pricey galleries and boutiques to the plain old tourist traps and everything in between. As in Bar Harbor, many had end of the season sales in progress. All the better for us. We even found a candy store where some fudge snuck into our bag.
After “doing town” we headed north out of town to “Edgecomb Potters.” We had noticed this place on the way in. Walt! Do not bring Cathy here! If you do bring a sleeping bag and food as you will be there for a while. They have some really pretty pottery and glass works. This is well worth the stop. On the way back to town we saw a flock of 5 turkeys (Jakes) right next to the road under a tree.
One more thing on Gray Family Campground. It is not in any of the national campground books. We only found it with the on-line Maine Campgrounds website. The owner says the big books are too expensive for the limited return. I’m guessing reservations well in advance are needed during peak season. Even on a Sunday night the CG is mostly filled. For those who want to camp here without the challenging drive through town, there is another north CG of Boothbay Harbor. There you can park in formation with your neighbors on perfectly level graveled sites.
Addendum
Well, our friends made it for dinner. Boy, were they steaming. But we got them out of their shells and into a soothing bath of melted butter. URRRRP! Two each for Donna and I, one for Katherine. No leftovers! Well, the mess doesn't count.
How 'bout dem 'skins...don't they stink the place out. Sure glad it was not on TV up here, might have been tempted to waste my time. Time for Vinny and Danny to GO!
No pix today, too gray.
