Friday the 13th

It was bound to happen. Something funky with Roxy. We were driving down a very rural road from Bucksport to Damariscotta and I noticed the rear-view camera was off. This usually only happens if the electrical connection isn't in tightly. We finally found a safe side of the road (no ditches!) and pulled over. Did all the troubleshooting we knew to do. A super nice man asked if we needed help and we decided it might be a fuse to the trailer hitch. Then we finally figured out (the sun was so bright it was hard to see) the left brake light and blinker were working fine and the right side was sort of strobing. We decided there must be a short and drove on to the campground. Oddly, all the turns were left turns!  

Since we hadn't had lunch we decided to have a 4:30 King Eider's Pub late lunch/early dinner. I almost passed on the oysters, can you imagine? They were perfect. Lesson learned: never pass on Damariscottas in Damariscotta,

This is the first campground that has a party vibe. Kids, music, games. In most of the others we have been among our cohort- the AARP crowd.  It's a beautiful place on Lake Pemaquid and we will be here 2 nights. The temp at 6:30 is 56.

P.S. I am grateful for nice men on the side of the road who take time out of their days to help. People are good.
