Camden Hills St Pk ME 6/23-24

Across Highway 1, is a trail to the ocean and we set off shortly after we set up camp. We knew thundershowers were predicted and the sky was cloudy, but off we went nevertheless, sans umbrella. Yup, when we were as far away from shelter as we could get, we heard thunder and rain fell, but not much and we didn't melt or evaporate - and we had a very nice walk along this rocky coast, listening to the surf and loons offshore.

After dinner in the cool evening air, we drove to the top of Mt Battie enjoying spectacular views of Camden and its harbor, watching pleasure craft return from sea and a schooner sailing south. As I milled around up top, I stumbled upon wild Maine lowbush blueberries - oh joy! Jimmy retrieved a container from the car and we picked enuf little berries to liven up our breakfast cereal for two days! Happy days!

Spent part of the next day walking around in Camden. Bought three more Robert McCloskey children's books... all dealing with delightful Maine. Nice stay in Camden Hills St Pk!
