Today is Thursday and we knew weather was about to change. Thankfully, this morning rain held off long enough for a couple of lights on our list. This afternoon rain came, so we pulled in for the day early. We stopped at a mom & pop place for a late lunch. If I ever thought we rode through the backroads of Kentucky, nothing like the ones we have traveled in the last few days. We have not been on the interstate since arriving to Maine. All side roads and many of them, from town to town to town.....
Clyde has been so impressed with the way the yards/houses have been mowed/kept. He said today "it's like they all knew the Bakers were coming to visit, so they mowed their grass"! Uhhhh, I'm sure that's it. NOT. The houses along the coast are HUGE. The ones off the water, for the most part very clean.
The large cone shaped white to light green to pink Hydrangeas that form trees not bushes, are all in full bloom here. Everywhere. It's like lights at Christmas, we keep saying "ahhhh and ooohhhh". So pretty!
Today we saw number five and six lights. Five was in Arrowsic, ME (Bath, ME) and named Doubling Point Light. It was built in 1898, and in 2002 the walkway and foundation was restored so that today it's as strong and beautiful as it was in 1898! It was quite a surprise. The road to travel to visit it was about 3/4 mile of gravel and very narrow. The internet didn't mention that when others said it was one of their "go to". It was very unique. We liked it. But the road wasn't great. It was very remote I would say!
Number six, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, in Bristol, ME. With it beginning to rain, we didn't stay long to visit this one. But it was beautiful and a place for outside picnics a bathroom break, and a very nice, new restaurant right next door (today, Sept. 9 was it's first day to serve guests).
Here are some pics taken at both lighthouses and along the ride. Top up today, so not very many pics.
This is a place Clyde wanted to eat, as he read up on it online.
Red's Eats, town of Wiscasset, ME. With the line and the not great weather,
we drove on! Might have missed out. He would have waited had it been sunny!
