It is almost 7:00 P. M. and finally the sun is shining.  It was a cool morning and afternoon with fog and rain in the little villages along our route across the bottom of Maine (Hwy 1).  Actually it made the villages look like something from an English moor scene.   We did pass up lots of nice shots though because of the fog.  There just wasn’t enough light until we arrived here in Concord, New Hampshire.

 

After leaving Ellsworth, we chose to drive down the coast.  It was a great choice.  We drove past some of the most interesting points.  Two of these were at Verona.  Here we passed an old fort.  We would have stopped and visited, but it was so gray and cold looking that I thought it were a prison until I looked it up in the guide book.  It was a big gray stone structure that set on a bluff overlooking a river/bay.  A short time later we crossed a bridge that spanned this body of water.  It was a very unusual bridge to me.  I have crossed thousands of bridges, but not a suspension bridge built in this way.

In Lincolnville we stopped for coffee and goodies.  Ron had a great scone and I a wonderful bittersweet chocolate chunk cookie.  The coffee and the sweets were great.  The town was such a neat little town that we made a few pictures of it.

 

 

Camden is another nice little town on the seacoast route.  We stopped here to have a quick lunch.  We were going to eat out of our food bag, but we found a great convince store with hot dogs on the grill.  We never pass up a good hot dog.  These were all beef and grilled to perfection.  Since it was a chilly day, hot food was great.

We loved the little on-the- water villages of Maine as well as the north woods.  Maine is a big state with things to offer for all types of visitors.  Glad that we have had the chance to visit.
