Nature Runs Mid-Coast Maine

It is a rainy blustery day here in Mid-Coast Maine and that’s alright by me. Most of my traveling is fast moving and no long stays. Here I am anchored much like the boats that bob in the ocean… movement but limited. It feels great to be at a peaceful place and close to the rhythms of a lifestyle that is geared to the sea. Nature is the ruler here and all follow her moods. It will be nice to walk to Hendricks’s Head Lighthouse and work up an appetite. NE clam chowder is called for when the wind blows and the rain falls.

Camden Maine, Coastal Heaven

“Why would you want to visit Camden ME on the busiest week of the summer,” a friend asked. While I do not like crowded places, I don’t avoid them either. I have found that places that are popular usually are for good reason. Camden is one of my favorite places on the coast of Maine. It is beautiful and a great place to visit, in fact we are looking for a rental next summer some place between Rockland and Belfast. Camden is smack dab in the middle.

It wasn’t too busy and we had a wonderful time, we even ate lobster right on the water at Atlantica. Our table was on the rail and the huge moon over the harbor was stunning and we enjoyed talking with the German family seated next to us. Our room at the Country Inn was fabulous and reasonable considering its amenities. I will never let a place’s popularity be a reason not to visit; I would miss too many wonderful memories.
