Awake: 4:59am Temp 37 sleep 5+46 sunny overnight @ Boothbay, Maine.
We leave with G & G in their Honda @ 9:25am with the 1st stop being only 5
min away @ the Fall Foliage Festival (arts & crafts) just down the road.
About 1.5 hrs total was spent waiting in line & looking @ all the vender’s
wares. Grace bought some soap & Kathy bought nothing. Gary & I did an
extreme amount of gabbing to make it look like we were enjoying ourselves.
Next we head north to the “Owls Head” transportation museum (40 min)
located in the town of Owls Head. Now we are seeing something of interest,
especially for Gary & me. This expansive museum is home to a landmark
collection of antique working aircraft, automobiles, motorcycles,
carriages, bicycles, engines, etc. To start with, the ladies planned
ahead, left us to begin our exploring while they drove down the road to
get sandwiches & drinks for lunch. About an hr later, they returned &
notified us to join them in having a tailgate style lunch. Really good
sandwiches; we were impressed with their efficiency & excellent taste.
Gary & I could have easily spent the rest of the day in this museum but we
both wanted to get back during daylight to get our coaches ready for
travel tomorrow morning. Even the ladies enjoyed seeing the many displays
@ the museum. We return to our campground about 4:00pm.
I retract our slides, stow the portable water filters, etc. Then K & I
attend 5:30pm Mass @ Our Lady Queen of Peace church & afterwards, drive
over to meet G & G @ the “Lobsterman’s Wharf” on hwy 99 for dinner. Kathy
& I share a sword fish dinner. Here we thank G & G for their hospitality,
good times & good friendship, etc & bid them a safe bon voyage. We like
these guys a lot and look forward to our next rendezvous.
Today’s high=60’s Lights out: 11:15pm
