Thu, Jul 19

Cool, foggy and drizzly off and on this morning. Mike and I got playing Monopoly and lost track of time and before we knew it, it was 11:00. Hurried up and put everything away and were ready to leave by 12:00. Stopped at the Mariner’s Pub in Searsport for lunch. Cute little town. Back on the road and arrived at Blackwoods campground by 3:00. Beautiful campground and we have a really nice site. Was cloudy all day but it didn’t rain at all. We have absolutely no cell signal at all—either one of us. We’re only 7 miles from Bar Harbor, but it’s pretty hilly. Actually, I’m not sure if we had a signal in Bar Harbor or not. After we got set up we went back out of the park to buy some wood. Came back and had a campfire. Sat by the fire and read for a while. No hook-ups for the next 10 days. Think we’ll be using the generator a lot since we’re in the trees and it’s cloudy anyway so the solar panels won’t be getting enough sun to charge the batteries. Temps in the upper 50s when we went to buy wood. Think it will be pretty chilly tonight.
