We hooked Charlotte to the Barbarian Invader and departed Mt. Desert Island headed west across Maine. It is the first time we have gone mostly west since we started this leg of our trip back on December 28, 2014. We have gone as far north and east as we will go on this particular leg of our journeys through the U.S.A. so I guess we can look at the next few months as a return to our residence in San Diego, CA. I am not real sure that makes me happy because I have found I like the exploring lifestyle although when I get back to San Diego I will get to see my kids which will be great.
We took the Maine Turnpike all the way back to the area around Portland where we exited the freeway and wandered down a short series of roads to our camping spot at a place called Wassamki Springs. There are not a lot of RV parks in Maine and they are substantially more expensive than those in other states and this park was no exception. The park has full hookups, crummy wi-fi and adequate cable TV, a big artificial pond, fair roads and ample suckers filling the available spaces while parting with their hard-earned dollars. It was about a four-and-a-half or five hour drive to get here so we spent the afternoon resting up and loafing.
Fortunately, we had an ample supply of beer which we attempted to reduce somewhat.
