July and August 2020

Note-the website appears to be a little wonky- the tabs along the top still work but do not have the labels in them. It appears to be easiest to use the menu lists on the right side of the page.

Life in the slow lane, for sure. We’re at Northport Campground, a small campground and only half full, very quiet most of the time. Pickleball is our major source of exercise and socialization- you can play hard, take a break and chat at a distance. It’s been so great to visit with our Maine friends, again at a distance.
However, we have taken a big step- we bought a piece of land! We have always known that we would have to become “grounded” at some time in the future. And have always had contingency plans for emergencies. We’ve been casually looking at land or a house in the Mid-Coast area for over a year, but with no real pressure. COVID-19 has made us think a little longer and deeper about our future on the road.
So, what are we going to do with this land? Well, we can live in our camper on it, especially once we get utilities in place- hopefully this fall. We can build on it, or wait. We’re looking into modulars and stick built…And as you can see, the lot has a sweet, long distance view of Penobscot Bay:

 

And nice sunsets, too:

We had a well drilled- only 145 ft. to get 10gpm! and the septic system and most of the driveway will be done in Sept.

 

 

 

We still have more miles to travel- Newfoundland, PEI, Indian Pass, FL, Port Aransas Texas for the winter and more exploring in the Southwest, and we didn’t get to see Derek in Utah this spring due to the virus. The open road still beckons us, but now we will have a piece of land to call our own.
btw, Rhylee is thriving! He only rides in the truck to go to the Belfast Harborwalk or our land, which he loves doing.
