Camden Hills State Park and the Eastern Trail, Maine
We enjoyed Maine! Did we already say that?!
On June 22 we drove up, that is to say we drove down east, to Camden Hills State Park, just north of Camden. We followed Ruth and her brother David.

At the park we drove up Mount Battie, overlooking the Penobscot Bay. The view was tremendous! We observed a tall ship leaving the harbor!
It is said that Edna St. Vincent Millay visited often, enjoying the view, which inspired her to write the poem "Renascence".

Our park was just across the road from the Eastern Trail, 65 miles of the East Coast Greenway, a trail ultimately going from Southern Florida up the East Coast to the tip of Maine. We rode the green section of this trail from Biddeford to just past the marsh at Scarborough a couple of times, first going north, or down east, then upwind, or south. (Downwind is a sailing term, indicating the wind is at their backs, and upwind--going up to Boston, they are sailing against the wind...Boston to many Mainers is up...going up to Boston...!) We loved this trail! Even when the days were warmer, there was lots of shade along this trail!
This is the first update of our activities in Maine. More will be coming!
Until then!
