Rained Out ;o(( – Friday and Saturday – June 28 & 29, 2013

We made no plans for these two days as the weather forecast looked terrible.

 

Of course, this is the ONE time the weatherman was right:o((

 

On Friday, we just hung around the motorhome.

 

We got a slight break in the weather after dinner,

so I took the opportunity to take some campground photos.

 

Here is a satellite photo of Sunset Point RV Park in Lubec, Maine. 

 No I didn’t take this photo ;o))

The campground is a little pennisula that juts out into Johnson Bay.

 

Unfortunately there are no rigs in the photo to show the layout.

 

You enter the campground to the left of the office.

 

All sites are 30amp and water.

 

On the left of the road are the back-in  & cable sites along the water.

 

In the loop are 12 pull thru sites. 

 

All the sites have a water view….

 

Site 12 is on the end of the loop and the best site in the campground!!

Front of Campground office                           Bath House behind office 

 

 

Pull-thru sites 1-12 in middle of the loop                                                 We were on site 6 

 

 

Site 12 is on the end overlooking the bay.  Best site in the park!!

 

 

Nice swing to sit and enjoy the view                          Easy access to launch a boat or kayak 

 

This is the only campground near Lubec unless you are willing to cross the border.

 

Herring Cove Provincial Park on Campobello Island has 30amp sites,

 but does not have WIFI.

 

We opted for free WIFI at Sunset Point Campground.

We did not want to pay roaming charges or get an extended Canadian plan for one week.

 

We would come back here in a heartbeat. 

The sites are tight, but the location is great and the people are really special!!

 

 

 

On Saturday,

the rains continued and we were getting stir crazy.

 

We decided to take a ride and check out a few places we have yet to visit.

 

I needed to mail a package, so we headed to Lubec Post Office and took a ride through town.

 

 

Visitor’s Information Center                                  The Lubec Historical Museum

 

 

 

This gentleman was walking up the street carrying a large cello or bass?!?! 

 

 

I guess he was headed to the bandstand:o))

 

 

Now this is what I call EXTREME container gardening!!!

 

 

Waterfront and Main Street

 

 

 

Lubec Post Office… yea, it’s still raining;o((

 

 

View of FDR Memorial Bridge to Campobello Island

 

 

Views of Lubec from Campobello Island and the bridge.

 

 

 

After our tour of Lubec, we headed south on Rt 189 to Route 1 north.

 

 

We made a right toward Calais in search of Cobscook Bay State Park.

 

We didn’t get charged a fee to just ride through and check out the campground.

 

There are no hookup and small sites, but I know there is some good hiking here.

 

However, today was not the day for hiking;o(

 

We did see a herd of sheep just outside the state park.

 

 

Next on our list of places to check out was Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge.

 

I googled directions and followed them back a small country road, onto an iffy dirt road,

 

which led to a foggy drive to Hatton Lane on the right.

We turned right onto Hatton Lane, only to find out we were on someone’s driveway!!

 

The owner was outside and told us this happens all the time.

 

Just turn around and go to the bottom of the hill in Pembroke...

 we would find Moosehorn NWR:o))

 

We followed his instructions but could not find the NWR only the Post Office;o((

 

But according to my maps we should be near The Reversing Falls Park :o))

 

Turns our the park is at the end of a dirt road

which because of all the rain is now a mud road:o((

 

At this point, we decided to cut our loses and just head back to the campground…

 

Hopefully, we will get some decent weather tomorrow, our last day in Lubec!!
