2023 Summer Road Trip – Day 47 – Maine to Massachusetts

Sunday, August 20, 2023

Made it to a new state.  Massachusetts – barely.  We are in Massachusetts about 200 feet, but since we are spending the night we still get to fill in our map.

The crowd kept growing at our Harvest Host site yesterday afternoon.  We ended up with three vans, and 5 tent campers – in 3 tents.  All was good and we really enjoyed getting to know the other van owners.  We got a good night’s rest and awoke to sunshine.  (It rained pretty hard overnight.)

We traveled the length of Maine today enjoying the beautiful scenery.  There were miles of coastline at times and then we would dip inland and have miles of forests.  Nice drive.  We stopped in Portland to check out a bakery and doughnut shop that had been recommended.  We have breakfast for the next few days.  We got to visit the Eastern Promenade park where you can sit on the grassy slopes facing the water and watch the schooners and other boats going in and out. Families were there having picnics and playing games.  We also walked downtown to the wharf, shops, ferry and cruise ship terminals.  A nice break in the drive and it was good to see all the people and vendors out enjoying their city on such a pretty day.  It was another wonderful day of travel.  We love traveling together.
