Connecticut River Valley
We broke camp and headed out, stopping at the office to say goodbye to Jack. No one was there, so we wrote a note and left it on the door. Living Waters Campground is a nice one – not very large, reasonably large campsites, and any time you can camp next to a trout stream…

White Mountains
High of 56℉ It has been raining for two days, sometimes very hard, sometimes very light. Driving in from Naples, we stopped in Conway, a busy place with tourists everywhere.

Leaving Acadia
50℉ and raining at 4:00 Friday, October 21, 2016 With the campground closing, we packed up and headed out to Naples in the southwest corner of Maine.

Acadia National Park Loop Drive
Tuesday, October 18, 2016 After lunch it was cloudy, a little breezy and felt cool although it was 57 degrees. We decided to first drive through Northeast Harbor. The road along Northeast Harbor is so pretty! We stopped several times to take pictures on this little, narrow road. The iconic tree lives here. You see…

Wendell Gilley Art Museum
47℉ at 6:30 am, cloudy, high 57℉ Tuesday, October 18, 2016 We spent the better part of the morning doing laundry and cleaning up inside the trailer. A visit to the Wendell Gilley Museum was the next order of the day. I spent a lot of time there in 2012 while Martha took a bike…
