Rain, rain and more rain and a high of 64. It started sprinkling when we were leaving the campground this morning (just Toad and us) around 9ish. And then it came heavier and heavier as we drove to Ogunquit (my friend, Patty's daughter, Lisa used to live in New Hampshire and said this was a neat town near the border). We started off by sharing a blueberry scone (trying to get as many Maine blueberry treats in as possible) along with our coffee and tea at "The Backyard" Then I took off for the shops - very nice little town and crowds were definitely down (maybe cause of the rain, but also it's after Labor Day). We were there about 2 hours and then back to Kennebunkport.....this town is just sooo neat!
We drove out Ocean Drive past spectacular homes (must've been 10,000+ square feet....maybe 15,0000 - looked like hotels). And then we were at Walker Point where George and Barbara Bush have their summer home. This Bush Compound has been in the family for over a century and has several other homes on the point with the biggie at the tip. They have s security booth at start of driveway Here's photo I took. It was raining, foggy and with the rocky coastline....this is "so Maine"!!!

Came back to Salty Acres and got Daisy and off we went as the rained kept coming down. We drove around 120 miles to New Hampton, New Hampshire. Lisa also suggested we drive the Kancamagus Highway (37 miles of beauty). Well....today would not have been very pretty with the rain. We are at the Twin Tamarack Campground and it is probably the prettiest setting Daisy has been in since we started this trip. Surrounded by trees with a brooke running behind us. Hopefully tomorrow I can get some pictures.
The plan is to take Toad on that pretty drive north of here but 90% chance of rain tomorrow? Wonder if this is Isaac's leftovers???
We had soup and BLT's for supper! Feels good to hunker down in Daisy tonight as the rain continues to fall...!
Our boys have arrived safely in Pensacola!!!
