I'm back, and it was a blast. I saw a friggin' bald eagle flying over the lake and land in its nest whilst I was kayaking. That was friggin' awesome. Of course, I was convinced that my friend didn't know what she was talking about and I said, "That's a turkey vulture, not an eagle..."
I was wrong. She was right.
Nice, what town/area?
We own vacation property in Maine, near Bath. My mom's side of the family is from Maine, and most everybody still lives there.
Word up, I remember you mentioned this in the past. I was in the Damariscotta area (Lake Pemaquid) mostly, but spent a lot of time at Pemaquid Point and Boothbay Harbor, too.
Biking on the peninsula roads (the nicely paved ones, at least) was a treat! There were some poorly maintained roads, but thankfully the views more than compensated for it. I never used those biking shoes that click into the pedals, so it was funny to see me dismounting to ask for directions (yes, I got lost at a certain point...one of the roads totally lacked a sign and I missed it, thinking it was a trivial service road).
Thank goodness there was a decent supermarket with stuff for vegetarians up here. I skewered tofu, soy dogs, veggie burgers and onion rings on our (bon)fires. Yes, dinner turned into blackened chunks of charcoal rather quickly. I still loved dinner, but I don't recommend it my method of cooking to anyone.
