First Day Ride
We drove north east yesterday from Saco (Portland area) and are camped at Cobscook Bay State Park. It was around 45 last night but we were snug inside with our fleece blankets. Jack slept at our feet and was perfect.
Today I drove Annelle to Calais, just on the Maine side of the Canada entrance station. She was on the road at 10am, 67 degrees with lovely sun. The road was so desolate on the way up there I was a bit concerned. She will be doing a good bit of riding on the trail, but some of it will be on the road. I drove back to camp.
We don’t have any hook-ups here (electric or water) so I went to the shower house (1 shower house for 125 campsites!!!) and did dishes after I showered. Roxy is much cleaner and neater again!
I had a ball-park idea of when she would be at the pick-up spot, and I tracked her on Find Friends, so I was there waiting when she finished. I think she enjoyed the day.
Ashley Garrett, I’m inspired by your gratitude journal report and I’ve decided to have a go at it myself. Each day I will add a P.S. to the blog with gratitude in mind.
P.S. I am thankful for the most beautiful day in Maine. Warm sun, pine trees, clear air.
Today, Tuesday, we have internet. This is a small but mighty campground. Full hook-ups, delightful bath house, washer and dryer. They have tent sites, teepees for rent as well as cabins. There are 8 RV spaces and they're not on top of each other. It's quiet. There's a blueberry shop across the street.
The Mexican dinner is in the instant pot and we're having a cocktail. Things are sliding into place, so far. Jack made the 40 minute drive between campgrounds with only minor mews, and with no drugs. He's doing so well, I'm thrilled.
And I'm also happy to be hauling Roxy for a small part of the day. Hooked up, cleaned house and went to the grocery before Annelle was done with her ride!
P.S. I am forever grateful for a father who instilled in me a love of the outdoors.
