Campobello Island, NB, Canada
Campobello Island is where FDR grew up, and where he and Eleanor and their kids spent many summers. Gorgeous does not say enough.
To see Franklin's cigarette hold and lighter, Eleanor's "call the children" horn, the old rippled pane windows, and the view out the dining window provided for some memorable pictures.

Eastport: Whale watching on the Ada C. Gore
Eastport is a tiny town on the Eastern most point of the US.
Eastport Windjammers has served us well during 3 visits, but this time was spectacular!

Schoodic Point, a treasure!
Schoodic Point is like a magnet to us. The only place we MUST see on each trip to Maine.
Jasper Beach, Jonesport, Beals Island, Great Wass, and Uncle Kippey's
The Real Maine: Jasper Beach, Jonesport, Beals Island, and the Great Wass are also unique. And then, there is Uncle Kippy's.
Jasper beach is quite peculiar, actually. 800 yards of ocean-polished stones, piled high and so smooth that they move constantly under foot.
Jonesport, Beals Island, and the Great Wass are along a single road toward the ocean, with each turn giving a different look, and sometimes different weather.
And Uncle Kippy's? It's in Lubec, and ....well....lucious!

Sunset Point Campground, Harrington, ME, August 2012
We got the bug to move about for a while.
GOING TO MAINE?
A suggestion:
We are on visit #5.
Acadia Park is grand. Don't miss it. If you only do Bar Harbor, you don't see the REAL Maine. Bar Harbor is just another place to get chinese t-shirts of a different color for too much moolah, and very crowded.
Machias, Eastport, Whiting etc, are further along the coast. Lower prices during peak season cuz there are so few tourists that go there. Blueberries $2.75 a qt. Great lobster rolls, 2 for $12, lobster right off the boat. We go out to eat where the locals do, not the tourists.
Just sayin....
Sunset Point Campground is a lovely place. The sunset over a muddy bay at low tide was unique to us, as was the clammers plying their trade. And the campsites were very well kept, and had a roof over the picnic tables. Very down-home, inexpensive, and with very gracious and helpful hosts.
