Tue, Jul 31

A beautiful, sunny day. We’re right next to the laundry, so I figured I could get that done while Mike was in the shower. However, Mike got talking to the people next to us and one of the washers I chose took forever to fill. So, by the time I got that done and Mike got finished talking it was noon. Then decided I’d better get a new vacuum cleaner since the one I have in the camper doesn’t work any more. Wanted a smaller one anyway. So, in to Windham we go. Bought everything we needed at Walmart. Got lunch and stopped at a picnic area by the lake and ate. Back to the campground and stopped at the rec room to do some computer work. That’s always fun when there’s a bunch of kids in there and about 6 video games going plus the air hockey game, which is the loudest of them all. That was the extent of our fun day. Tomorrow we leave for the White Mountains of New Hampshire. 30 days with no hook-ups. Should be fun.

A little cloudy today. Walked down to the little beach on this lake. Small, but they have a swim dock anchored a little way out. Decided to get some groceries, but instead of going back the way we came (through Windam which has everything) we headed north and there wasn’t much. Pretty drive tho. In the little town of Casco, Long Lake and Sebago Lake meet—joined by a little canal with a raising bridge. Neat little town but very touristy-- although we’re thinking of going back there and going on a cruise on Sebago Lake. Brought the groceries home and put away and did nothing the rest of the day. Bought sub sandwiches after grocery shopping and ate them, so didn’t much feel like dinner.

Left Acadia this morning at around 10:00. Real pretty drive from Bar Harbor to Bangor. Arrived at the Sebago Lake area and were set up by 3:30. Stopped and had breakfast at a truck stop outside of Bangor. Had a very unusual breakfast—scrambled eggs, polish sausage and baked beans instead of potatoes. Oh, and raisin bread toast. Very different. They also have molasses bread here which is really good. The Sebago Lake area is beautiful. Can’t wait to go down by the lake. It’s surrounded by mountains. We’re outside of Raymond, ME, away from the touristy area on Crescent Lake. Really pretty area. We may even go swimming. It does feel warm here. Maybe we’re acclimating to the cooler climate? We’re back on full hook-ups for three days before we go into New Hamshire and no hook-ups for a month. Had to come into the rec room at the campground to get on the Internet though. We have hardly any signal here—at least on AT&T. My Verizon phone has a good signal. Unfortunately, our air card is AT&T. So, I guess we’ll veg out on TV, do some laundry and relax a little before continuing on.
