We are now in West Virginia (Almost Heaven ?). There is some beautiful farm country here. It is very hilly. Not big mountains, Just very hilly. We were taking some back roads on our way to Martinsburg, just to get off the interstate. It started to get very narrow and twisty. Combine that with the hills, we decided to head for the interstate. We will be in Martinsburg until Sept. 5th when we will head for our nation’s most dysfunctional city, Washington, DC.
Now for the Catch Up.
After New Hampshire we headed for the coast of Maine. Maine is a state we really enjoyed. We drove up the coast and stayed in a campsite in Ellsworth, Forest Ridge Campground. The owners are great people. We used the campground as a place to explore the area.
We visited the town of Castine. Castine is a typical New England sailing town. We toured the town and the lighthouse. The town is full of typical white clapboard houses. While in Castine we decided to take a sailboat ride on the Guildive.
We boarded the Y-S Guildive. The Guildive is a 56ft two mast sailing ship. It is owned and operated by Kate and Zander Parker a husband an wife team who are both captains. They personally, beautifully restored the ship. We had a great time.
We took several day trips along the Maine coast using Ellsworth as our starting point. Unfortunately, I did not write down the location of some of the pictures. Anyway here is a slide show of some of the pictures.
Not far from our campsite in Ellsworth is a newly constructed bridge that crosses the Penobscot River. On top of one of the towers of the bridge is an observation deck with spectacular views.
Next post, finish Maine.
Life is Easy on the Roan Road…
