camp is on an idyllic, quiet spring fed lake with trout and loons in whiting maine close to the coast. it’s been the family camp for something like 70 years. odin’s great grandfather built the rock wall around the cove in the 1960s that’s still standing today.
after 33 hours in the car, we finally arrive at camp in maine!
i’m reminded of the local euphemism, “you can’t get there from here.” You can, but it takes a awhile!
of course have to stop and take photo with at the kennebunk service station with the moose. I have many of these over the years. I can’t believe odin is up to his antlers.
just four more hours to go!
very necessary before 8 more hours on the road!
midnight. giggles.
we swung through grand rapids, michigan to pick up odin’s cousin evelyn! I can’t tell if they are excited.
now 11 hours of driving! AND NO STOPPING TO GO TO THE BATHROOM!
TO ALBANY!
camp is on the eastern tip of washington county, maine which is sometimes called the sunrise county because it claims the west quoddy head, which is the easternmost point in the continental u.s.. so, theoretically the sunrise first hits the shores of the u.s. not far from camp.
and why am i up at sunrise? because we’re starting the 1,600 mile drive back to wisconsin! hope to make at least 1,100 miles today.
