Camden Hills State Park

We took a sightseeing ride on the Mt Battie auto road overlooking Penobscot Bay.  What a beautiful view! 

Then we took a hike along the Shore Trail in the Park.  The trail was really different.  It hugs the cliff overlooking the Bay and is equipped with picnic tables and charcoal grills along the trail.  I liked it because it felt serene.

 

After enjoying the woods, we headed to Lincolnville Beach to enjoy the sun.  This public beach is just a spit of sand along Route 1.  But the mothers and their children were having a fun time, and it was a pleasant place to sit.

After a bowl of chowder in Camden (again!) we drove into Rockland ME.  While we were there, we spotted an old "woody" car.  Unfortunately, the front wheels were wiggling badly and the driver had to stop to investigate.  But it was fun to see.










Charlie found a sea glass hunting spot along the coast of Route 1 near a picnic and rest spot.  So while I took a lovely nap, Charlie collected a bounty of glass.

Back at the campground, Charlie picked up a burger at one of the ubiquitous roadside stands.  It was fantastic; he said there's no such thing as bad food in this area!

One last comment about Camden Hills State Park.  Hands down, it has the best WIFI and shower temperature & pressure of any of our stops so far.
