Wordless Wednesday: Random Downeast Maine Photos

jennifer · August 14, 2013 · 23 Comments

For today’s Wordless Wednesday, I’m sharing more Downeast Maine photos from my recent camping trip. There’s always something interesting to see when you visit Downeast Maine!
This photo, taken on our way home at Lamoine State Park, was popular on Facebook.

Our campsite had a tree in the shape of an M, for Mom.

Does the head form in the window freak you out too?

    I love that there was a tree named for you! And the heart in the fire! I think that head in the window would have freaked me out too. Shouldn’t there be a law against that?

      The head was weird. And the thing is that it was just the back of a building. Even more eery!

    That one with the head in the window? The name of the store there cracks me up: “Really Bad Antiques” haha.
    Great photos! It looks like you had a great time while down there. One of these days maybe I’ll have time to get back on the bandwagon…though with teaching and graduate courses, yikes, haha.
    Good to see you, though. πŸ™‚

      You know what’s funny about that sign? I don’t think it’s a real store. It’s actually the back of a building. I don’t remember a store by that name in the front. Makes it even more weird, doesn’t it?
      Good to “see” you too, Cyndi!

      I liked the mom tree too. It’s how we identified our campsite. πŸ™‚
      And we actually did walk down to the beach through fire ants. We thought by skipping the woods we’d be okay. Apparently not. Luckily (sort of) it was cold and rainy so we were protected. We found a different path back up that led us away from the ants and we did a quick check before getting into the car to get rid of stragglers on our shoes. It was an adventure!

      My husband and I thought the tacos were an interesting addition to the Polar Treat menu. I was pretty excited about the heart too!

    Yes, I see the heart in the fire and the “M” in the tree! I see the head in the window too, but I’m pretending I don’t. Yup. And irony about the boat named “Gamble” being a bad gamble.
    You’re killing me here – three more weeks of summer and all I want to do is go to Maine. I’m getting much worse about the end of summer as I get older. I think it’s from having kids.

      Oh, Tamara. You know Maine is even more beautiful in the fall, right? Leaf peeping, pumpkins and apple picking! I’ll lure you up here soon! πŸ™‚

    I would have ordered everything on that menu! I love the heart in the fire- – it was sending you a message!

      Ha! We just had to laugh at the tacos. The seafood at the ice cream stand makes sense in Maine. Not sure where the tacos and dough boys came from. The heart was really cool to see. Maybe it was a message. πŸ™‚

      The menu seems to be a big hit. They also had ice cream topped with treats for our dogs!

    I’m still looking at the menu, and dreaming. I’m sure the other photos are nice too. Maybe you should write a post about the … food.

      Ha! I thought about writing a post about our camping food. My husband and son did a spectacular job with the menu.

        Note: “Blog” and “Menu” are always good partners.
