The coast of Maine is a beautiful area, and we've been visiting it for many years. These photos are from our trip in August of 2004 to the Camden-Thomaston area. While there we attended the Union Fair, a great little local fair in the old tradition...and with some absolutely delicious blueberry pie!

A great place for a lobster roll is Harraseeket Lobster House at the Freeport Town Dock. Sate the belly and the eyes at the same time.

We had a great time at the Union Fair. It's the kind of fair that's up close and personal. Horse-pulling, livestock displays, harness racing, homemade blueberry pie, and local talent, including this fellow playing a saw.

No trip to Maine would be complete without some lobsters. We bought these in Rockland and brought them back to our Camden Hills SP campsite to cook. Hmmm-good!
Our campsite at Lobster Buoy Campsites in South Thomaston. This is a great little old-fashioned CG run by the daughter and widow of the fellow who started it years ago. Every evening they sell fresh homemade slices of pie.

A little cottage next to the campground. Can't you imagine spending the summer there?
