I added two more states to our camping map on the side of the camper, New Hampshire and now, Maine. I didn’t add Vermont because we drove through there, but didn’t camp.
We’re at Camden Hills State Park. We have a large shady site…
but it is not at all level. It was about 4 degrees tilted from side to side, and we had to lower the front of the camper almost to the ground.
We took a hike this morning. A lot of the hike was pretty steep. Sometimes it went up rock steps,
sometimes we were just walking up bare rocks.
We hiked up hill for over a mile and a half to the side of Mt. Megunticook.
We arrived at the Ocean Overlook. That’s the Atlantic out there.
It was quite a view, just a bit hazy, whether from smoke or humidity I’m not sure.
We were looking down on the village of Camden, Maine.
We continued the loop around which took us down across the boulders along the edge. I kept Matey on the leash, which made the scramble harder for me. We probably went about a quarter of a mile before we got back into the woods where I felt comfortable letting Matey loose. It was still very steep. When we got back to camp we had gone three and two thirds miles, all of it up or down. We were beat.
On the Roam Again 
In the picture “….walking up bare rock”, is that a little animal way on the left edge at the center of your picture? Bud looks pretty tired in the picture “…side of Mt Megunticook”! The views from Ocean Overlook are beautiful! I hope you thought it was worth the 3 2/3 miles if hilly-hiking to see them!

That’s a small dead tree with sunlight shining on it at a side branch. It was definitely worth the hike!

Beautiful scenery. Yeah, Bud looks pretty hot and tired in the one pic.
Getting ready for Kevin’s surgery. Jeanie and I went to his pre-op app’t with him Wed. They’re going to do his neck first. He’ll have to wear a hard collar 23/7 for 3 mos. Then they’ll do his back surgery. They’ve changed his surgery date, again, to Aug 27th, but Jeanie’s relieved ’cause she’ll be back from vacation and McKenna will have been ‘”delivered” to Fort Collins. Michelle will come up and I’ve got one twin bed set up in the living room for her and the front closet emptied for her clothes. I changed out the shower pipe and head this morning, in the guest bathroom, so Kevin will have a hand held wand.
Safe travels. Miss you, Judy
