Winter Harbor to Kennebunkport

Saturday, the 8th of August, we took a short drive halfway down the Schoodic Peninsula to the village of Winter Harbor with our new friends, Ron and Dorry, to see what the hoopla was all about at the Winter Harbor Lobster Fest. We had been hearing about the event for a couple of days and wanted to check it out. Well, some good and some bad…..

It's a scenic little fishing village, and the day was warm and comfortable with temps in the low 70's, so it was a good place for a walk. Many vendors, crafters, and food stands were scattered about the town, so we indulged in a couple of trinkets and had a glass of freshly made lemonade with our Lobster roll!

Donna and I spent a couple of hours preparing for our departure on Sunday, but we enjoyed an evening campfire with Ron and Dorry. That's them on the left, and D on the right…..

Sorry to leave Timberland Acres RV Park. Site 240 was great, very long and with a lot of space between sites. Downeast Maine is just a spectacular place to visit. We've remarked all week that the scenery can't be beat, the weather has been perfect, and the campground friendly and comfortable.

Sunday afternoon found us in Kennebunkport, Maine, at the Red Apple Campground, one hundred eighty nine miles south of Timberland Acres.

A bit hard to navigate to, but very nice, Red Apple tries really hard to be a "resort". The sites are paved, the grass and landscaping are nicely maintained, but the $65 a night fee isn't justified. The seasonal sites comprise most of the campground, leaving only about a dozen for short-timers. The wifi is marginal even though we have an antenna 20 feet from the rv, and the rules here are very restrictive, but the paved sites and cleanliness make up for most of that. Site B42 is satellite friendly, which is good, since cable doesn't seem to be available, and we have a separate paved parking place for Gus.

We took a quick trip to the beach just to see where it is, and found this:

The beach is dog friendly before 9 in the morning or after 5 in the evening, so Sasha will get her chance to sniff! We'll check it out more in the next few days.
